The 35-year-old Talbot was scheduled to start Saturday against the Montreal Canadiens at home, but was a late scratch. A puck hit him underneath his equipment in practice and as late as Monday morning the Senators were hopeful the injury was just a bruise.Article contentFollowing further examination, the Senators learned he’ll be out longer than expected.
He signed a one-year deal with the Kraken worth $750,000 in July after spending most of last season in Russia in the Kontinental Hockey League.Article content Dylan Gambrell, prospect Mark Kastelic, veteran Derick Brassard and Ridly Greig remain in the mix but there will only be room for one of those four when Smith and his coaching staff submit the roster on Opening Night.
“We’ve still got three games to go and some guys that we’ve got to make some decisions on,” Smith said. “But those three games will decide on those guys for us. We’re going to do some tinkering but in the next two games we’re going to have a majority of our guys in.”Article contentThe top four is set with Thomas Chabot, Artem Zub, Travis Hamonic and rookie Jake Sanderson rounding out the group. From there, it’s fair to say that veteran defenceman Nick Holden is pencilled into the No. 5 spot.
