Nilsson (concussion) has yet to resume skating and still has no clear timetable for a return, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nilsson missed his 14th straight game Saturday while recovering from a concussion he suffered in mid-December. The team is hopeful that the netminder can resume skating and get healthy over the upcoming All-Star break. In the meantime, Marcus Hogberg and Craig Anderson will continue to handle goaltending duties.

Nilsson (concussion) will remain on the sidelines for at least another week, Wayne Scanlan of the Ottawa Citizen reports.
EDGE Analysis
While a week remains the short end of Nilsson's potential return to action, it sounds as though it's fairly open-ended despite the netminder resuming skating Wednesday. Craig Anderson and Marcus Hogberg should continue to hold down the goaltending duties until Nilsson is given the green light.

Nilsson is back on the ice at practice Wednesday, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports
EDGE Analysis
Craig Anderson has the start against Florida and will likely be the starter through the end of the week, but this is an encouraging sign for Nilsson that he might be back to game action soon. Nilsson owners would love to have him back for Jan. 10 when the Senators go up against Detroit and its league-worst offense, and this puts him on track to possibly be the netminder for that contest.

Nilsson is dealing with a concussion and was designated for injured reserve Friday, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nilsson was reportedly sidelined versus the Predators on Thursday due to an illness, but it now appears that he was suffering from a more serious injury. The netminder won't be available for the Senators' next two outings ahead of the Christmas break. Craig Anderson (knee) has been given the all-clear and could get the start versus the Flyers on Saturday.

Nilsson will not be available for Thursday's game against Nashville due to an illness.
EDGE Analysis
Nilsson was originally supposed to start in goal against the Predators, but he'll now set his sights on recovering in time to get back between the pipes for Saturday's matchup with Philadelphia. Marcus Hogberg will get the nod against Nashville.

Nilsson is slated to start between the pipes in Thursday's home matchup with Nashville, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nilsson was shaky in his last start Monday against the Panthers, surrendering six goals on 31 shots en route to a 6-1 loss. The 29-year-old backstop will attempt to bounce back in a tough home matchup with a Predators squad that's averaging a league-high 3.64 goals per game on the road this campaign.

Nilsson made 25 saves in Monday's 6-1 loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Despite the final score, the 29-year-old goalie played fairly well and came up with some spectacular stops but got almost no help from his defense. Nilsson should be used to that by now -- he sports a rough 3.18 GAA on the season, but a more palatable .908 save percentage.

Nilsson will defend the road cage against the Panthers on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Nilsson will make his fourth straight start with Craig Anderson (knee) stashed on injured reserve. He's been solid with a .927 save percentage and 2.64 GAA alongside a 2-0-1 record over his last three outings. Ottawa will play a back-to-back set Tuesday so expect Nilsson to get a break for that contest in Tampa Bay.

Nilsson stopped 38 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
The only puck to get past him through two periods barely did so -- Nilsson plucked Cam Atkinson's attempt to tuck the puck inside the far post out of the air, but it was determined on video review his glove was across the goal line. The 29-year-old netminder then had to hang on when Columbus outshot Ottawa 20-5 in the third, but he was eventually rewarded for his efforts. Nilsson is still settling in as the Sens' No. 1, but he's 2-0-1 over his last three starts, and on the year he sports a 3.02 GAA and solid .913 save percentage.

Nilsson will patrol the crease during Saturday's home game versus the Blue Jackets, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nilsson wasn't great in his last start Wednesday against Montreal, allowing three goals on 29 shots en route to a 3-2 overtime loss. The 29-year-old Swede will look to bounce back in a home matchup with a Columbus club that's 4-6-4 on the road this year.
