Winchester remains sidelined with a concussion but getting back on the ice is a step in the right direction. He scored two goals and seven points in 28 games before getting hurt.

The news is a little better for Jesse Winchester, who is out with a concussion. He’s starting to feel better but not to the point where he can do a lot. He probably won’t get back on skates until after the all-star break.

Winchester has been out since December 20th due to a concussion and is out indefinitely. He scored two goals and seven points while playing on the fourth line.

Jesse Winchester is practicing with the team today - for the first time since suffering his shoulder injury in camp.

When Winchester does return, he should vie for playing time on the bottom line. Last season he managed to score four goals and 13 points over 72 games with the Sens. Unless your league counts hits there is no reason to bank on Winchester.

Meanwhile, Jesse Winchester, who suffered a shoulder injury on the opening day of training camp, worked out before practice with assistant coach Luke Richardson. He could be cleared to practice with the team next week, according to MacLean.

Winchester should center one of the bottom two lines upon his return. Last season, the Long Sault, Ontario scored four goals and 13 points over 72 games for the Sens. There are likely better options out there.
