Ottawa Injuries Could Hurt B-Sens
November 23, 2005
Add Wade Redden and Martin Havlat to Ottawa’s growing injured list. Denis Hamel was already recalled to fill in for Bryan Smolinski in Tuesdays game in Carolina. Chris Neil also missed the game after the unexpected death of his mother, but the Senators opted to go with 7 defensemen instead of calling up another forward. With Redden and Havlat out it is likely that the Senators will call up one or two players from Binghamton to fill the holes in the lineup for Fridays tilt against the Islanders.
None of the defensemen in Binghamton are ready for serious ice time in the NHL so my prediction is that Ottawa will go with the six healthy defensemen they have (meaning Schubert gets more ice time) and they call up two forwards instead, most likely Patrick Eaves and Steve Martins. Keep an eye on the transaction wire and don’t be surprised if the B-Sens are either shorthanded or have a quick fill in for tomorrow nights game.
