Sportsnet: Jets’ Hellebuyck out with non-COVID illness, Rittich to start vs. Senators. Good news for the Jets that it is just a illness taking out their top netminder and he is expected to join the team on the road ahead of their final games before the Christmas break to Boston and Washington.

TSN: ‘It’ll be a good test for him’: Bowness expects a strong game from HeinolaAfter playing just two-games with the Jets almost a month ago, Ville Heinola will return to their blue line tonight with the Senators in town. Rick Bowness admits playing the Hurricanes weren’t the easiest opponent for him to face in his first game, so he’s hoping the young defenceman will be a bit more comfortable with the Sens in town.

TSN: Young Sens feeling overall game turning around. After finishing the month of November with a 8-13-1 record, the Sens are 6-2-1 in December so far. Encouraged that their young group is coming around, Ottawa feels that they still have time to make ground in the East.
