Report: Senators testing market on Hammond

The Ottawa Senators suddenly have an abundance of riches between the pipes.

With Craig Anderson having now made six starts since his wife Nicholle was diagnosed with cancer, Mike Condon showing flashes of brilliance since being acquired from the Pittsburgh Penguins, and Andrew Hammond fully recovered from his groin injury, the club could be looking to make a deal.

To whit, the Senators are believed to be testing the market on Hammond, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, who notes the decision likely comes in response to multiple teams looking for an upgrade in goal.

Hammond was pegged as Anderson's backup this season, but has dressed in just two games. He's allowed six goals over 80 minutes of play.
