Hainsey (undisclosed) will return to the Senators lineup on Friday.

Hainsey has missed the last seven games with an undisclosed issue but will play Friday vs. the Red Wings. The veteran defenseman doesn't bring a lot of offence to the lineup but has been a stabilizing defensive force for Ottawa this season. He'll return one the first pair next to minute eating Thomas Chabot.
