The Senators added to their Swedish goaltending depth after a surprising waiver claim. Plus, discussion about injuries and the final roster moves.
In this episode of the Sens Nation Podcast, The Hockey News Ottawa site editor Steve Warne and co-hostGregg Kennedy discuss the big wave of cuts the Senators made Sunday. We also get into why the Sens appear to be keeping some extra bodies around because of injury concerns, particularly the ones involving Artem Zub, Jake Sanderson and Andre Burakovsky.
We talk abut the loss of goaltender Leevi Meriläinen, who was claimed off waivers by the Vancouver Canucks on Friday, and the Sens' decision to acquire Jonas Johansson from the Tampa Bay Lightning to fill the vacancy.
That leaves the Senators with an interesting possibility in goal: could all four of the Sens' goaltenders on the Ottawa/Belleville depth chart this season be Swedish?
We also review the Senators' preseason, discuss the NHL's sudden enforcement of the jersey-tucking rule, and look at the San Jose Sharks and Boston Bruins naming new captains.
And with opening night just days away, the big question is: How long until the Senators name their captain?
