Methot is suffering from a minor injury heading into Wednesday's game against the Devils, Wayne Scanlan of the Ottawa Citizen reports.

EDGE Analysis

Methot is reportedly one of a couple "banged up guys" along the Senators blue line, prompting the Senators to recall a couple in advance of Wednesday's game. It's unclear exactly what's ailing him, but it could put Methot's status in doubt for the contest. The team should provide an update prior to the contest confirming whether or not he's available.

Methot picked up an assist Saturday, but it wasn't enough as the Senators lost to the Coyotes, 4-3.

EDGE Analysis

Methot's had helpers in two consecutive games. Since the stay-at-home defender has averaged 22:07 TOI in November, it's clear that a concussion injury that hampered him in late October is truly a thing of the past.

Methot (concussion) will return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Methot's missed the past three games with a concussion and will draw back onto the team's top defensive pairing with Erik Karlsson, which should provide more stability to their shaky blue line. He has one goal in five games this season.

Methot (concussion) took part in a "full and vigorous practice" Tuesday, Wayne Scanlan of the Ottawa Citizen reports.

EDGE Analysis

Methot was fully expected to return to the Senators' lineup Saturday against the Coyotes, but was a surprise late scratch after he reportedly began suffering recurring concussion-like symptoms Saturday afternoon. His goal is to return to game action Wednesday against the Flames, but the 30-year-old blueliner will once again be reevaluated ahead of the contest to ensure he's healthy enough to do so.

Methot (concussion) was a late scratch from Saturday's lineup, Steve Lloyd of In the Box reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was assumed Methot would be able to take the ice Saturday after missing the last two games, but it appears as if the injury will keep him on the bench for a third consecutive contest. He could be available for Wednesday's contest against the Flames, however more information will likely prior to game-time.

Methot (concussion) will play Saturday night against the Coyotes, Ian Mendes of TSN1200 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Methot evidently passed the concussion tests after missing the previous two games. He's a tank on the ice at 6-foot-3, 230 pounds, but has limited offensive utility despite being on the top defensive pairing with stud blueliner Erik Karlsson.

Methot (concussion) could return to the ice for Saturday's matchup against the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Methot has missed each of the past two games due to the injury, and he still needs to pass concussion tests before returning to the ice, but that appears to be the final hurdle. He hasn't been ruled out for Saturday, so it seems as though he could be cleared at some point before the contest.

Methot (concussion) won't play Thursday against the Devils, TSN's Steve Lloyd reports.

EDGE Analysis

Methot was able to skate Wednesday and Thursday, but is reportedly still dealing with the symptoms of a concussion, and as a result will not play Thursday against New Jersey. His limited participation in back-to-back practices is encouraging, however, so the 30-year-old defender could potentially return to action as soon as Saturday against Arizona.

Methot (concussion) skated with the team at practice Wednesday, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Methot missed the previous game Saturday due to the concussion, but his presence at practice suggests his return to the lineup may not be too far off. He skated as an extra Wednesday, however, so it's possible he will miss Thursday's contest, but an update should be provided at some point prior to the game.

General manager Bryan Murray confirmed that Methot is currently dealing with a concussion Tuesday, Ian Mendes of TSN 1200 reports.

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.
