This will have to be a short post unfortunately and I can't give too much of an opinion on it, but the Senators placed not one, not two, but three players on the IR this morning:




Formenton having a concussion is not surprising, although I had no idea that Dzingel and Ceci were even banged up. According to Bruce Garrioch, Dzingel's injury is a lower-body one and Ceci's is an upper-body one. What that entails I do not know, as NHL teams continue to be incredibly secretive about their injuries, even in the regular season.

Jaros getting called up is no surprise since he was the final defense cut, although Nick Paul coming up wasn't totally expected. I'd rather see a winger like Filip Chlapik or Rudolfs Balcers get recalled, but at the same time, Paul needs to get a chance at the NHL level to try to prove himself. Plus there's a chance that he won't even get into a game anyway, so perhaps the Senators didn't want one of their better prospects sitting in the pressbox in Ottawa.

Cody Ceci hasn't missed a game since the 2016-17 season, so it'll be interesting to see if the defense is actually better off without him. Having said that Ben Harpur will be his replacement so maybe not. Nothing has been said about any of these player's timetables, but I'm sure there will be some updates in the coming days.
