Chris Campoli News

Shean Donovan says he is ready to roll, meaning the Senators will get three injured players back in the lineup tonight.

Jason Spezza won't be back from his knee injury until after the Olympics, according to Senators head coach Corey Clouston.

Of their obvious deficiencies, the Senators' greatest need is for more goal-scoring. To that end, they should be among the teams trying to make a deal with the Carolina Hurricanes.

Two Senators who suddenly find themselves with new roles had very different reactions to the media attention they received Thursday.

With five regulars out of the lineup - including centre Jason Spezza, who will miss two months with a knee injury - the Ottawa Senators will sport a makeshift lineup Wednesday night against the Buffalo Sabres.

Some fans will be happy, some will be sad. That's the way it is when the topic is Jason Spezza.

Former Senators goalie Martin Gerber suffered a serious neck injury in a KHL game over the weekend and, while not life threatening, he is expected to miss the rest of the season.

If there was any doubt Ottawa Senators defenceman Chris Campoli is buried deep in coach Cory Clouston's dog house, it was erased Saturday.

Defenceman Alex Picard will be back in the lineup tonight as the Senators host the cellar-dwelling Carolina Hurricanes at Scotiabank Place.

Nick Foligno has landed in the doghouse. The Senators winger, pulled off the club's second line during Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Sharks in San Jose, was a spectator for Thursday night's game against the Kings in Los Angeles.

The Senators' best players have to be at their best. That's the message from coach Cory Clouston with the Senators looking to bounce back from losses to the Bruins and Sharks to start a five-game trip that continues Thursday night in Los Angeles.

Chris Campoli couldn't hide his disappointment. As the Senators wrapped up their skate yesterday at the HP Pavillion, the veteran defenceman was one of the last players off the ice, along with centre Peter Regin after learning coach Cory Clouston had decided to make Campoli a scratch for the first time since he arrived in Ottawa.

The Senators will have their top shut-down defenceman ready to try to stop Dany Heatley tonight.
