Senators' Jorian Donovan: Dealing with undisclosed injury
Rotowire
Donovan was absent from practice Thursday due to an undisclosed injury, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.
Donovan was likely a long shot to make the roster even prior to getting hurt, though other injuries on the blue line could have opened the door for him. At this point, the 22-year-old defenseman will likely be sent down to AHL Belleville once given the all-clear to resume playing.

Senators' Jorian Donovan: Sent down after Sunday's game

Rotowire
Donovan was recalled from AHL Belleville on Saturday.
Donovan made his NHL debut against Detroit on March 24 and was held off the scoresheet in two games before being sent back to Belleville last Sunday. Donovan had four goals and 17 assists in 59 minor-league games prior to his recall. The Senators are hurting on the blue line, as six defensemen have injuries. There's a good chance that Donovan will be in the lineup for Saturday's matchup against Minnesota.
