Lawson made two saves on 10 shots in a releif effort on March 18th, but that was the only action he saw during his recall. With Craig Anderson back in the crease tonight and Robin Lehner feeling no ill effects from the ailment he suffered in practice recently, the Senators elected to send Lawson back to the AHL.
This move means that Craig Anderson will not be ready for Saturday's game and Lawson will likely back-up Robin Lehner. Lawson is on recall from the B-Sens for the second time this season. He previously served as back-up to Lehner for two games in early November. He has a record of 15-7-1, in addition to a 2.90 GAAand a .910 SV% through 28 appearances with Binghamton this season. He earned a record of 1-4-2 over 10 games with the New York Islanders in his only previous NHL season of 2010-11.
Craig Anderson is healthy enough to dress on Saturday so the Senators no longer need Lawson's services as a back-up. He returns to Binghamton where he is 5-1-0 with a 2.22 GAA and .931 SV%.
The 30-year-old Lawson is 5-1-0 with a 2.22 GAA and .931 SV% in Binghamton. He has only made 10 NHL starts and they all came with the Islanders in 2010-11. He will play back-up to Robin Lehner in Columbus tomorrow.
No immediate fantasy hockey value in the AHL.
