Brady Tkachuk is questionable to play against the Florida Panthers on Saturday (2 p.m. ET; RDS, TSN5, SCRIPPS) and the Columbus Blue Jackets on Sunday because of an upper-body injury.
The forward, who has missed the past two games with the injury, has not yet resumed skating.
"I was hoping he was going to skate today, but he's not going to," coach Travis Green said Friday. "So, it's about all I can say about it."
Tkachuk was injured on a hit by Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Ryan Graves during Ottawa's 1-0 overtime loss March 30 and remains day to day.
He leads Ottawa with 29 goals in 71 games, and his 55 points are third.
"He's a big piece to our team," forward Ridly Greig said. "He brings a lot of compete and that kind of emotional side of the game. Everybody has kind of got to step up a little bit and there's a lot more minutes for somebody out there, so guys have to step up."
The Senators hold the first wild card into the Stanley Cup Playoffs from the Eastern Conference, five points ahead of the Montreal Canadiens.
