Senators Need to Make Room for Wideman
Chris Wideman was poised for a breakout season before everything suddenly went wrong. After tallying eight points in his first 16 games this season, the Ottawa Senators defenceman suffered a devastating hamstring injury when Evgeni Malkin fell on top of him in November. Wideman has been sidelined ever since, and while he hopes to be back before the end of the year, Ottawa’s season is quickly winding down. The injury was a tough break for a few reasons. Not only was the 28-year-old playing some of the best hockey of his young career, but with him up for a new contract this summer, it looked like a pay raise was on the horizon. This injury has made matters significantly more complicated for Wideman, as there might not be room for him on the team next year. Wideman Brings Valuable Offence It's taken Wideman a while to prove his worth to the Senators. The St. Louis native spent three years in the AHL after a successful NCAA career with Miami University. In his third year with... Senators Goaltending
Should Senators Worry About Anderson's Struggles?
The Ottawa Senators have a number of players who need new contracts this offseason, but one of the biggest question marks this summer concerns a player who is signed for the next two years. Craig Anderson’s contract extension, which he signed prior to the start of the season, was meant to shore up the Senators’ goaltending situation for the next few years. Between this and Mike Condon's three-year deal, it looked like the organization was setting up for one of the team’s goaltending prospects to take the reins in 2020. There were some concerns about Anderson’s age at the time of the signing, as 36-year-old goalies don’t tend to get offered multi-year contracts. Despite this, Anderson’s incredible play during Ottawa's playoff run in 2017 gave management reason to trust their starting goalie going forward. Unfortunately for the Senators, this season has only added fuel to fire for those who think Anderson is long past his prime. While Anderson’s career shows a... Ottawa Senators
Stone's Selke Chances Hurt by Injury
While the Ottawa Senators have been eliminated from playoff contention, the remaining games are still very significant to some individual players. The defensive scoring title is still within Erik Karlsson’s reach, rookies like Filip Chlapik and newly signed Christian Wolanin have something to prove, and players like Ryan Dzingel are hoping to solidify breakout seasons. However, the Senators most consistent player this year has hit a roadblock. Mark Stone, who was playing at over a point per game pace, has been out of the lineup since suffering a leg injury on Mar. 9. While the Sens have so far been unwilling to shut him down for the rest of the season, Stone’s injury will still have a significant impact on his award hopes. Stone has been one of the best under-the-radar players in the league for the last few seasons and is slowly getting more league-wide recognition for his two-way game. His consistently great play this season had him in the running for the Selke Trophy,... Ottawa Senators
