Unexpected Shuffle: Ottawa Senators’ Bold Move Sends Merilainen Down, Sparks Questions with Sogaard Call-Up!
The Senators don’t have a back-to-back situation in their game schedule until October 27–28. The Sens will host Edmonton on Tuesday of this week, the Flyers on Thursday, then travel to Washington on Saturday before hosting the Boston Bruins a week from Monday. Barring injury, it’s likely that Ullmark will start all of those games, including the one against his old team, then the Sens will probably turn to Meriläinen in Chicago on the 28th.
Travis Green After Senators 5-4 Loss To Islanders: ‘A Lot Of Things We Took Pride In Last Year, We Weren’t Good At Tonight’
Sens head coach Travis Green: “It hurts that we didn’t get a point tonight, and I think our game’s a little sloppy right now.”
In the meantime, the Senators want to get Meriläinen playing for two reasons. First, they don’t want him getting rusty from going almost two weeks without playing, and just as importantly, they don’t want him stewing too long about his difficult season debut in Buffalo.
