Methot didn't play in either of the Senators' exhibition games Monday against the Maple Leafs due to an undisclosed injury, but was able to skate on his own, Ian Mendes of TSN 1200 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Methot, who underwent surgery on his elbow during the offseason, said the injury he suffered in Sunday's scrimmage was not a related setback, nor anything that figures to cost him much further time in camp. Since it seemed the Senators were just keeping Methot out for precautionary purposes, look for him to make his preseason debut at some point later this week. Methot is slated to skate with Erik Karlsson on the Sens' top defensive pairing this season.
