What Happened
According to Postmedia's Bruce Garrioch, the Ottawa Senators have put forward Warren Foegele on the injured list because of a knee injury. The problem arose in Tuesday's game versus the Vegas Golden Knights, when Foegele and Jeremy Lauzon collided knee-to-knee during the third period. Foegele did not finish the game, and Lauzon was assessed a two-minute minor for kneeing on the play. No timeline for Foegele's absence has been announced.
Key Details
- Foegele has one goal and three assists through 13 games this season
- He is averaging 12:04 of ice time per game
- The 30-year-old arrived from Los Angeles at last season's trade deadline
- He is in his first full campaign with Ottawa
- Carolina selected him in the third round of the 2014 Draft
- Career totals: 118 goals and 112 assists in 594 games across four clubs
What It Means
Foegele had been logging regular minutes in Ottawa's forward group after arriving from the Kings last season, so his absence removes a familiar piece from the lineup. The Senators now have to cover his even-strength shifts internally while the club waits for word on how long the knee issue will keep him out.
What's Next
The Senators have not announced a recovery timeline, so Foegele's return date remains unclear. Ottawa will continue its schedule without him and may need to adjust its forward combinations while he is unavailable.
