For the second time this season, the Ottawa Senators are dealing with a COVID-19 outbreak. This one has derailed the positive vibes from a promising December and leaves the Senators depleted ahead of a west coast swing. (HockeyScanner)

“I thought we were done with it,” Senators captain Brady Tkachuk grumbled in a Zoom call on Monday.

Tkachuk, who believes vaccinated players should be able to play with minor symptoms, added that the players testing positive now have mild symptoms “at most” and feels they should be able to compete. Smith said the dreary game reminded him of the 4-0 loss to the Calgary Flames on Nov. 14, when his pandemic-riddled team played its final game before being shut down for a week. Smith noted a similar lack of focus and energy Saturday night.“I’m just frustrated that we don’t have the players at our disposal to play,” Smith said on Sunday.

As Brannstrom ran the first power play on Monday and defenceman Michael Del Zotto and forward Scott Sabourin were recalled from Belleville to become Ottawa Senators again, Smith spoke of the opportunity for the fill-ins. Almost too many to name.In an effort to salvage the season, and maintain some kind of regular schedule, the league is more apt to allow games between ravaged lineups than those that run into “Canadian attendance restrictions,” such as the home dates of the Senators.
