Josh Norris took a step in the right direction on the road to recovery.
As the players suiting up at the Bell Centre on Wednesday night made their way to the train station for a quick trip to Montreal in the afternoon, the Ottawa Senators’ top centre served notice his return is closing in on reality.
“He’s going to play in a couple of exhibition games for sure. Is it Friday? I don’t know. Is it out East? We’ll see. Today’s practice and practice will dictate a lot of that.” Depth in the middle was supposed to be one of the strengths of the Senators heading into camp, but Norris not being cleared for contact and the absence of restricted free agent Shane Pinto have made it a challenge for Smith to determine where everybody will fit this season.Article content
If Pinto signs and Norris is healthy, then Jarventie and Greig will start the year with the club’s AHL affiliate in Belleville. But that just means they’ll be a phone call away and Smith noted that, at the very least, they can put themselves in the position to be called up in case of injury.Article content
