Senators News & Rumours: Schedule Changes, Injuries Continue & More
- The Ottawa Senators‘ season has gone much like how Pierre Dorion felt after Thursday’s overtime loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs – frustrating.
- Other players who have NHL experience already, like Drake Batherson, just continue to chip away and be consistent contributors on this team.
- However, back to the frustration, the Sens have had no luck when it comes to goaltending, injuries and now their season just got extended.
- The Senators will now be off until Thursday, where they are scheduled to play the Canadiens, and the two originally planned games have now been pushed ahead, extending the Sens’ season by two days.
- Luckily, the Sens and other teams in the Scotia North division, other than the Canadiens, have minimal changes to worry about, and if anything, a team like Ottawa will get an extra few days of rest before they hit the ice again in April.
- Because these injuries piled on fast, Dorion felt like he had to go out and acquire another goaltender with NHL experience to help stop the bleeding.
- He has five goals in 11 games with the Sens so far, but it’s doubtful he’ll get moved by the deadline.
- Acquired from the Habs last season, the 27-year-old has turned out to be a capable defensive defenceman for the Senators while playing mostly with Artem Zub since he entered the lineup and made his NHL debut.
- After Monday morning’s skate, the Sens placed forward Artem Anisimov on waivers, and it’s believed they might be making room for more players to come in
