Cody Ceci News

The Senators have recalled Cody Ceci and he will make his NHL debut tonight.

Ceci was the 15th overall pick in the 2012 NHL Draft. The 19-year-old is in his first full season with Binghamton and has two goals and 15 assists in 24 games. He is a great defensive prospect and is known for both his offensive and defensive prowess. He is a great power-play guy, but likely won't be with the Senators long enough to garner fantasy value. He will play for Marc Methout, who is out with the flu.

The Oilers have recalled Anton Lander from Oklahoma City (AHL).

Lander was the 40th overall pick in the 2009 NHL Draft. He has nine goals and six assists (15 points) in 18 games with OKC this season. He has appeared in just one game with the Oilers this season, that was back on October 27.

MRI confirms a broken foot for Anton Lander. 4 weeks minimum.

The Oilers are 4th in the league in blocked shots but it is coming at a high expense as their players continue to get banged up from blocking shots. Lander isn't fantasy relevant.

Lander just got here, so he hasn’t found that comfort zone. But he’s already making progress.

Despite impressing during training camp, the Swedish center likely starts the season in Oklahoma City. With five NHL centers already on the roster, there simply is no roster spot for him.

“Last season was good for me. I am a better hockey player and I have a better chance to make the (NHL) team,” he said.

Considering the Oilers look relatively deep at center, it will take an excellent training camp to remove a player like Eric Belanger or Gilbert Brule from the lineup. In any case, Lander figures to excel defensively, not necessarily offensively.
