Ottawa Senators TIDBITS & QUICK HITS!

Stone has been recalled

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

The Turris basket has been only laying eggs since Spezza went down.

I thought we were at our limit for call ups. I could be wrong, but I thought Da Costa went down because Lehner came up. So if Stone is coming up and Michalek is returning, does that mean that Anderson is ready to go and Lehner is being sent down, or was I wrong and they sent down Da Costa for more playing time or whatever.

All these injuries...

Switch Dizzy and Greening, and that's actually not such a bad lineup. At least you have a few lines that look like they should be able to score.

I'm hearing rumblings that Latendresse "is apparently back." I'm not sure if that means he's just skating or he's ready to play again, but there it is.

Either way, getting 2 wingers who can or at least SHOULD put up some points is huge for the centers. Silfverberg was being leaned on way too heavily.

If I was an opposing team, I'd go after Turris all day long. Him and Alfie I guess, anyone else who beats me, that's fine, but I'm not letting those two beat me with the rest of the talent all injured.

That's just hard to play against, particularly when your winger is a rookie who has gone a bit cold.

Yah, Greening/Zibanejad/Condra was a really solid line last time they played the Leafs so I don't see why that would change. Daugavins may have lost his spot to DD at this point and it's pretty clearn why.

Is michalek actually confirmed to be back? Stone call up and lack of anyone else being sent down screams a big 'No' to me on michalek

I wonder if Daugavins is traded at some point once Latendresse and Spezza come back... they need to clear up a roster spot for sure and lets be honest, Daugavins won't be back next year and may have lost his roster spot to DD who is playing like a legit NHLer.

Wouldn't imagine you would get much more than a 6th or 7th for him but it's better than nothing.

No telling if Michalek will actually play tomorrow, but he's in full practice.

Sens are starting to get too many bodies in the fold. Unless Stone comes right in and produces I would guess he will be sent back down once another healthy body comes back into the fold.

The lines posted were the ones in practice today and Latendresse is indeed skating with Daugavins and OBrien (who leads the forwards in goals and will sit?
