Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk and fellow forwards Josh Norris and Shane Pinto will sit out the team's home game against the white-hot Winnipeg Jets on Wednesday, multiple media outlets reported.

San Jose features rookie center Macklin Celebrini, who was the first overall pick in last June's NHL Draft. The 18-year-old owns 42 points (18 goals, 24 assists) in 48 games. He is second in rookie scoring behind Canadiens defenseman Lane Hutson, who has 44 points (four goals, 40 assists) in 59 games.

The Ottawa Senators are back on the ice tomorrow night at 7:00 p.m. ET when they take on the Winnipeg Jets for the second and final time this season.

The Winnipeg Jets have improved to a league-best 42-14-3 record with a 4-1 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday.

Ottawa will go with 11 forwards — that’s all they have healthy, even with two call-ups today in Angus Crookshank and Jan Jenik – and seven defencemen including St. Malo product Travis Hamonic. Linus Ullmark, who has struggled in recent games, gets the start in goal.

The league-leading Winnipeg Jets take their 10-game winning streak to the Canadian Tire Centre to face the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday, February 26. However, Ottawa's defense reaches another level on home ice, and my Senators vs. Jets predictions expect Ottawa to control the tempo for at least the first 20.

KANATA – As always, two critical points are on the line tonight Winnipeg Jets (41-14-3) take on the Ottawa Senators (29-24-4) outside of the two points in the standings. But after the final buzzer, a few members of the Jets will be hoping to leave the nation’s capital with bragging rights as well.
