Unexpected Shuffle: Ottawa Senators’ Bold Move Sends Merilainen Down, Sparks Questions with Sogaard Call-Up!
The Ottawa Senators raised some eyebrows on Sunday morning with the announcement that backup goalie Leevi Meriläinen has been loaned to the AHL’s Belleville Senators. In a corresponding move, Mads Søgaard has been called up from the B-Sens.
At a glance, one might think the Senators had suddenly lost faith in Meriläinen, four days after he and the team were shelled in Buffalo on Wednesday night, falling 8–4 to the Sabres. But this probably isn’t a demotion, not after only one game, and not after you see that Sogaard isn’t off to a great start either. This is about getting Merilainen some real game action.
