Jake Sanderson Slated To Return For Ottawa Against The Panthers

Ottawa Senators defenseman Jake Sanderson is slated to return for Wednesday's game against the Florida Panthers after missing the last eight contests with a lower-body injury sustained on Opening Night. Sanderson practiced on the top defensive pairing and ran the top power-play unit on Monday. His timely return provides a massive boost to the Senators' blue line as fellow defenseman Thomas Chabot is expected to miss one to two weeks with an upper-body injury.
