EDGE Analysis

Methot missed Saturday's game against the Predators with what was described at the time as an illness. In actuality, Methot is currently dealing with a concussion, and thus will need to complete the league's concussion protocol before re-entering the Senator's lineup. His status for Thursday's tilt against the Devils is murky at this point in time.
