With the uncertainty surrounding their goaltending situation, Pierre Dorion has pulled the trigger on a minor deal to provide the team with some additional depth between the pipes.
The Senators have acquired Mike Condon from the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for a 5th round draft pick.
Condon, who appeared in 55 games with the Montreal Canadiens last season and one game with Pittsburgh this year, was recently picked up on waivers by the Penguins. With Hammond expected to miss a couple weeks and Craig Anderson’s ongoing availability up in the air, the Senators had to make a move of some kind to give themselves another option going forward.
The Senators also announced that Matt O’Connor has been returned to Binghamton of the American Hockey League.
