Reimer made 23 saves in a 4-2 loss to Tampa Bay on Saturday.

Reimer's team staked him to a 2-0 lead by the 4:25 mark of the first period, and the game was tied 2-2 until the 8:51 mark of the third. Optimus Reims has been steady for the Sens since he signed earlier in 2026, and he gave them a chance at a win against the Bolts. He had won four straight games before Saturday; the four goals against Tampa Bay equaled the number he had allowed in the four previous, which included one shutout.

Talbot (undisclosed) is slated to serve as the backup goaltender for Saturday's home game against Philadelphia, per Ansar Khan of MLive.com.

Talbot sat out Friday's 5-2 win over Buffalo. However, John Gibson will be between the pipes for a second straight day. Talbot is 12-8-5 with a 3.03 GAA and an .891 save percentage in 28 outings in 2025-26. The 38-year-old Talbot hasn't been in the net since March 8 against New Jersey, but that was a relief appearance.

Gibson will protect the home goal versus the Flyers on Saturday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Gibson will get the nod for the second day in a row and his 11th straight game. The 32-year-old is seeing a heavy workload as he tries to help guide the Red Wings into the playoffs. He has gone 4-5-1 with a 2.40 GAA and a .912 save percentage during his recent run of starts, though the Flyers present a bit of a challenge since they've won four of their last five games.

Spence scored a goal Saturday in a 4-2 loss to the Lightning. He had four shots.

Spence pushed the score to 2-0 just 4:25 into the game when he knocked a rebound into an open net. Andrei Vasilevskiy was out of position after a sprawling save, and Spence capitalized on it. Spence has seven points (one goal, six assists) and 13 shots over the past eight games.

Cozens scored a goal in a 4-2 loss to Tampa Bay on Saturday.

Cozens startled Andrei Vasilevskiy with a shot that went five-hole just 18 seconds into the game. It was his 25th snipe of the season and first goal in seven games (one assist). Cozens has 52 points, including 26 on the power play, in 73 games this season, which exceeds the 47 points in 82 regular-season outings between Buffalo and Ottawa last year.

Vasilevskiy made 26 saves Saturday in a 4-2 win over Ottawa.

It was a rough start for Vasilevskiy, who allowed a five-hole goal 18 seconds into the game and was out of position four minutes later for the Sens' second goal. He then tightened the proverbial hatches and dominated. Vasilevskiy is undefeated in regulation in six games (5-0-1). He will likely get the night off Sunday when Tampa plays Nashville.

Guentzel scored a goal in Saturday's 4-2 win over Ottawa.

It was a breakaway snipe late in the third period to seal the win 4-2. Guentzel has scored in three consecutive games (three goals, two assists), and he has a goal in five of his last six contests. The goal was his 34th this season (77 points in 72 games).

D'Astous had a goal and an assist in a 4-2 win over Ottawa on Saturday.

D'Astous tied the game 2-2 with a shot from above the hash marks that beat James Reimer stick side. The 27-year-old defenseman's point streak stands at three games and five points (one goal, four assists). D'Astous has five goals, 21 assists, 86 hits, 67 blocks and 65 shots in 60 games this season.

Voronkov won't return to Saturday's game against San Jose because of an upper-body injury, per Aaron Portzline of The Athletic.

\Voronkov logged 4:03 of ice time before exiting the game. He has 17 goals and 32 points in 63 outings in 2025-26, including Saturday's action. Voronkov was a healthy scratch in nine of 10 games going into Saturday's action, so there's no guarantee he'll be in the lineup against Boston on Sunday even if he's healthy.

Hagel had a goal and an assist in a 4-2 win over the Senators on Saturday.

The goal was his 34th of the campaign, which puts him one from tying his personal best from the (2024-25 regular season. Hagel has 13 points (four goals, nine assists; 20 shots) over the past seven games. He was held off the scoresheet just once in that span. It was also Hagel's 85th career multi-point game with the Lightning, tying Alex Killorn for 10th on the franchise's all-time list.
