When reached for comment, Senators owner Eugene Melnyk said, “Our depth is no longer the envy of the league.”

Jackets putting "4th" the effort
Any coach will tell you its an asset and a luxury when he can trust his fourth line to provide energy, defensive responsibility, and the occasional goal. It makes the entire team more balanced, and better.
