After being held out of the last two games, the Ottawa Senators forward will return to the ice for Sunday's game against the Utah Hockey Club.

Claude Giroux scored the game-winner and broke a long personal scoring drought as the Senators defeated the Utah Hockey Club 3-1.

The Ottawa Senators are going to be without one of their top scoring threats for the next few games. On Wednesday, head coach Travis Green revealed that forward Josh Norris will be out for the upcoming weekend’s slate of games due to an upper-body injury.

Norris (upper body) is skating in a non-contact jersey at practice Saturday, per TSN 1200 Ottawa. While Norris has been ruled out of Ottawa's pair of weekend games, he has returned to the ice after suffering an injury Tuesday versus the Rangers.

The Ottawa Senators have fully bought into Travis Green’s defensive system, helping them become one of the better goal prevention teams in the NHL. The post Appreciating the Ottawa Senators Defensive Play appeared first on Ottawa Hockey Now.

Claude Giroux broke a third-period tie and added an assist, rookie Leevi Merilainen made 34 saves and the Ottawa Senators beat Utah 3-1 on Sunday night. Giroux gave Ottawa a 2-1 lead at 7:33 and helped set up Brady Tkachuk's goal with 6:38 remaining.

The Senators second line centre will miss at least the next three games with what the club describes as an upper-body injury.

The most notable change is the addition of Travis Green as Head Coach and Mike Yeo and Nolan Baumgartner as his assistants, along with the retention of Daniel Alfredsson. The Sens have been no stranger to the injury bug this year and the coaches have kept the group rolling.
