On the heels of an impressive come from behind win over the New York Islanders, the Senators were back on the ice for practice this afternoon.
And while a handful of veterans sat out the brief skate, there were a couple bits of info passed along by Head Coach Paul MacLean afterwards. The first is the somewhat surprising news that Marc Methot may be available to play tomorrow against the Bruins.
Methot injured his right knee last night against the Islanders and had to be helped off the ice but as initially speculated, it doesn't seem like the injury is overly serious. Methot underwent some treatment on the injured leg today and they'll wait till tomorrow to see how it responds.
If Methot can't play, Mike Lundin is healed from his concussion and ready to draw into the line up. No call up from Bingo necessary right now.
As expected, MacLean confirmed that Robin Lehner will be his starter tomorrow night. Lehner has been exceptional in his two previous starts against Boston this season.
Daniel Alfredsson, Sergei Gonchar, Chris Phillips and Guillaume Latendresse missed practice yesterday but should be fine to play tomorrow night.
- The Sens also announced the signing of NCAA goaltender Andrew Hammond to a two year, entry level contract. Hammond is coming off his senior season at Bowling Green where he posted a 10-15-3 record along with a 2.47 GAA and a .917 save percentage.
