It wasn’t all good news for the Ottawa Senators last night.
Despite cruising to a much-needed 6-3 win over the Blue Jackets last night, the Sens learned they’re going to be without Lars Eller for the next little bit. Eller blocked a shot in the second period and left the game with what the team is calling a lower-body injury.
Eller, the first player from Denmark to appear in 1000 games in the NHL, has suited up in 28 games for the Senators this season, racking up six points along the way and has been a useful veteran presence on the team’s fourth line.
Eller is definitely going to miss the remainder of the road trip and perhaps longer.
The Ottawa Senators travelled to Minnesota today and will take on the Wild on Saturday afternoon.
