The Senators were back on the practice ice today at Scotiabank Place for a 45-minute session. In speaking with the media after practice, assistant coach Greg Carvel spoke about the need for creating balance between all the lines to make up for the absence of left-winger Dany Heatley.
Carvel, in the audio attached, also addressed Ilya Zubov’s contribution in his first NHL game last night and the return of Patrick Eaves to the line-up.
There was no announcement made on the starting goaltender for the game against the Carolina Hurricanes at Scotiabank Place on Thursday (7:30 p.m., Rogers Sportsnet, The TEAM 1200 Radio).
