Anton Forsberg will return from a groin injury against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday (7 p.m. ET; RDS2, TSN5, BSOH).
The goalie, who is 7-8-0 with an .889 save percentage in 16 games this season, had to be helped off the ice by his teammates after attempting to make a save in a 5-3 loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Jan. 11.
Forsberg has been practicing consistently since Ottawa returned from its bye week last Thursday.
"He started skating during the break, he had some sessions," Senators coach Jacques Martin said. "He's a goalie that works extremely hard, he's got great work ethic and I think he feels good. He's ready to go. We could've pushed him back one more game, but we feel that he's ready to go tonight."
Defenseman Jake Sanderson skated for the first time Monday since sustaining a lower-body injury in a 3-2 overtime win against the Detroit Red Wings on Jan. 31. He is expected to return to the lineup early next week.
"I think he's progressing," Martin said. "He skated today, as well. I haven't spoken with the trainers, but it's encouraging, so I think hopefully he'll be back soon, whether it's on the weekend or next week in Florida. I think that's what it looks like, it's a possibility. We'll see where he's at."
