Senators send Hammond to AHL

Andrew Hammond is off to Binghamton.

The Ottawa Senators announced Monday they have assigned the goaltender to their AHL affiliate, the Binghamton Senators, after he cleared waivers Sunday.

Hammond, limited to just two games this season due to a groin injury, was previously offered a two-week conditioning stint in the AHL, which he refused. The 28-year-old was placed on waivers shortly thereafter.

Hammond is signed through 2017-18 and carries a $1.35-million cap hit.
