Craig Anderson is finally back.
The biggest change on the Ottawa Senators roster since the last time they met the Toronto Maple Leafs on March 6 is the addition of 6-foot-4, 232-pound winger Matt Kassian.
Now more than one-third of the way through the Ottawa Senators’ shortened season, the numbers are staggering. Consider the following: The combined salaries of the team’s injured players – Jason Spezza, Erik Karlsson, Milan Michalek, Guillaume Latendresse and Peter Regin – is a whopping $20.663 million, according to capgeek.com. That works out to 39 per cent of the Senators payroll of $53.553 million.
If you had the names Colin Greening, André Benoit and David Dziurzynski in your hockey pool, run out right now and a buy a lottery ticket.
André Benoit and David Dziurzynski scored their first NHL goals and the Ottawa Senators beat the New York Islanders 3-1 on Tuesday night.
The Ottawa Senators continue to shuffle bodies in and out of the lineup.
Number one goaltender Craig Anderson, rookie centre/winger Mika Zibanejad and defenceman Andre Benoit are all scheduled to play in Tuesday night’s game against the New York Islanders, the first game of yet another crucial four-game homestand for the Senators.
