Patrick was on the ice the following practice after taking the hit, but was a late scratch against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/senators\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ottawa Senators<\/a>.

MacDonald is still out for about three more weeks as he recovers from lower-body injury. Sam Morin, who was thought to be replacing Gostisbehere, was never actually recalled. He is out a couple of weeks as well.<\/p>\n<p>Gostisbehere is off to an impressive start as he has collected one goal and 12 assists in 11 games.
