Pageau is still recovering from a leg injury, likely stemming from Game 5 of the Senators' first-round series loss to the Canadiens, TSN.ca reports.

Analysis:

Pageau was forced to exit that match prematurely and initially looked questionable to play in Game 6 before the Senators signed off on his entry back into the lineup. Since the forward was deemed healthy enough to play through the injury just two days after suffering it, there seems to be little concern about his availability for the start of training camp in fall. After scoring a goal in each of the Senators' final three regular-season games, Pageau failed to tally a point during the six-game playoff series, putting a damper on an otherwise credible season for the 22-year-old.
