Mar. 10—GRAND FORKS — Jake Sanderson could be out of the lineup for a while for the Ottawa Senators.
Sanderson left Saturday night's game against the Seattle Kraken with an upper-body injury after sustaining a hit into the boards by Kraken defenseman Brandon Montour.
Sanderson skated off the ice, grabbing his shoulder. No penalty was called on the play.
Senators coach Travis Green said Sanderson is "week to week."
The
Ottawa Citizen reported
that his absence will be at least two weeks.
It could be a costly loss for Ottawa.
Sanderson is 10th in the NHL in defenseman scoring with 48 points in 62 games. He's Ottawa's time-on-ice leader at 24:49. He ranks eighth among all NHL players in average time on ice.
