- Jack Hughes was ruled day-to-day with a lower-body injury and did not play, with team evaluation indicating the issue is not considered serious.
- Captain Nico Hischier, a game-time decision because of illness, played and was denied by Ullmark on a high-danger chance.
- Cody Glass returned to the Devils lineup and set up Timo Meier for New Jersey’s lone goal.
- The victory extended the Senators’ streak to three games, all with different starting goalies, as they improved to 26-21-7 with three contests left before the Olympic break.
