And Gryba is a RHS playing on the right.

Any chance we see Anderson back tomorrow? This 3-4 days is getting stretched out...

Why rush him? Make sure he's 100%.

IMO his next game will be on Monday at home against Boston.

Yeah, not looking to rush him, just wondering where he's at.

Is Stone getting the call or is Michalek coming back tomorrow?

Stoner called up.... looks like he'll be in.

Sens news release on Stone's call up:

OTTAWA - The Ottawa Senators today recalled forward Mark Stone from the club’s American Hockey League affiliate, the Binghamton Senators.

After making his National Hockey League (and professional career) debut in Game 5 of last spring’s Eastern Conference NHL quarter-final playoff series against the New York Rangers, the recall is the first of Stone’s regular-season career. In 38 AHL contests with the B-Sens this season, the Winnipeg native has recorded 21 points (eight goals, 13 assists) and 10 penalty minutes. He currently ranks second among active B-Sens with a +15 plus-minus rating.

Stone, 20, has appeared in two NHL post-season contests and registered an assist on Jason Spezza’s game-winning goal in his professional debut last April 21 at Madison Square Garden – a 2-0 Ottawa victory.

A first team Western Hockey League all-star in each of the last two seasons, Stone’s four-season junior career with the Brandon Wheat Kings saw him register 296 points (106 goals, 190 assists) over 232 contests.

The Senators’ sixth-round pick (178th overall) in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, Stone led Canada in goals (seven) and points (10) at the 2012 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship in Alberta.

Odd timing there, I had just asked

That was hilarious.

Someone with offensive hockey sense

Seriously. I'll take a big body who has soft hands around the net right now with no questions asked. Perhaps he can light a fire under Silf as well.

So does this mean Michalek is back in as well ? Don't they have to send someone down ?

They might wait til practice today to see if he is ready though.

I always thought Stone and Turris would complement each other nicely. The Silf/Turris/Alfie line hasn't been getting it done. That said, Stone would also look good next to Regin, I think. Oh well, at least it gives us something fresh.

Stone should be playing with DaCosta and Zibanejad on the powerplay but we all know it ain't happening.
I don't care much about 5 on 5 I think we'll play well defensively the rest of the season but that PP needs to get going for diddles sake. That rant is getting pretty old

Alfie and Turris were great last year, not happening this year.

At least with Michalek coming back and Stone coming up they don't have to put all their eggs in the Turris Basket. You can move Regin and Turris around with different wingers and hopefully teams have trouble figuring out which line will give them the most trouble offensively.

Right now the Sens are very predictable just because of how many injuries there really are upfront.

Michalek-Turris-Alfie
Greening-Smith-Neil
Dizzy-Zib-Condra
Stone-Regin-Silf
