Curtis Lazar wasn't at Ottawa Senators camp as it opened Friday, and there's no word on when he'll return:
#Sens HC Guy Boucher has disclosed that @CurtisLazar95 missed practice today on account of mono. His progress will be evaluated daily.

"We're going to be really cautious," head coach Guy Boucher said of the forward, according to the Ottawa Sun's Bruce Garrioch.
A Senators first-round pick, 17th overall, in 2013, Lazar had six goals and 14 assists in 76 games last season while averaging 13:52 in ice time. His 14 helpers and 20 points were career highs.
