Robin Lehner News
Call up / Send down
Can confirm report by @Realkyper that Craig Anderson has suffered a hand injury. How long he's going to be out hasn't been determined. #Sens
With Anderson out, Lehner should be recalled. In fact, the young Swede likely sees a good deal of action should Andy miss significant playing time.

MacLean, asked about Robin Lehner, said "Robin has to play well in the AHL to expect to play here." #Sens
Doesn't sound like Lehner is an option for the Sens. In 23 games in the AHL, he has a gaudy 3.27 GAA and .907 SV%.
Line Change
Looks like Karlsson will pair with Kuba
Kuba gets back into the lineup and starts on the top pairing. The Czech defender scored two goals and eight points through 24 games and should have been seen as a fringe option on the blue line.
Line Change
MacLean confirms kuba and gonchar back.
If you own Kuba, slot him back into your lineup. The Czech defender scored two goals and eight points through 24 games and should have been seen as a fringe option on the blue line.
Kuba is on the ice. Gonchar is there as well. Both are in contact jerseys. #Sens
Good sign that both players are taking contact. The Czech defender scored two goals and eight points through 24 games and should have been seen as a fringe option on the blue line.
MacLean says he's hopeful Kuba + Gonchar could return on Tuesday vs BUF.
The veteran has not played since November 29th and should add some offense to the Sens blue line. The Czech defender scored two goals and eight points through 24 games and should have been seen as a fringe option on the blue line.
Kuba won't play.
Despite taking the ice, Kuba won't play tomorrow against the Pens. Expect the Sens defense to remain the same as their Wednesday loss against the Bruins.
Kuba is out for prac. with #Sens.
Kuba should be ready to draw in tomorrow night against the Pens. The veteran has not played since November 29th and should add some offense to the Sens blue line. The Czech defender scored two goals and eight points through 24 games and should have been seen as a fringe option on the blue line.
Line Change
MacLean hopes to get 1 of Kuba or Gonchar back for Friday's game.
Either veteran's return will add a boost to the Sens' blue line. The Czech defender scored two goals and eight points through 24 games and should have been seen as a fringe option on the blue line.
Kuba & Gonchar out.
With Kuba still out, expect rookies David Rundblad and Brian Lee to stay in the lineup. The Czech defender scored two goals and eight points through 24 games and should have been seen as a fringe option on the blue line.
Filip Kuba is practicing and skating in an effort to build up some strength in his injured shoulder. MacLean said he’s still about a week away
With Kuba still out, expect rookies David Rundblad and Brian Lee to stay in the lineup. The Czech defender scored two goals and eight points through 24 games and should have been seen as a fringe option on the blue line.
Filip Kuba put on IR; left shoulder injury - out 3-4 weeks, no surgery required
Kuba goes on IR, which keeps the blue line young and unjammed. The Czech defender scored two goals and eight points through 24 games and should have been seen as a fringe option on the blue line. Feel safe to let him go if you need the roster space.
Filip Kuba's probably out.
Kuba continues to need rest and is currently out indefinitely. Prior to getting hurt he scored two goals and eight points. You may want to look for a better option in shallow leagues.
Kuba is out with an upper-body injury. It isn’t known when he’ll be back.
As long as Kuba is out of the lineup rookies David Rundblad and Brian Lee will stay in the lineup. Prior to getting hurt he scored two goals and eight points.
Brian Lee in for Filip Kuba
Kuba won't play tonight so make sure to keep him out of your lineup. He scored two goals and eight points in his first 24 games this season, surprisingly playing in every contest.
Filip Kuba (upper body) doubtful for tomorrow.
If Kuba can't play, look for Brian Lee to re-enter the lineup. The Czech defender has two goals and eight points over 24 games.
Goalie Start
Lehner just said he's starting.
The rookie will make his first NHL start against the Leafs tonight.
