It might not have been the case earlier this weekend, but Bobby Ryan and Guy Boucher have arrived at the same page.

After the Ottawa Senators coach declined to reveal the reason for the winger's scratch Saturday, Ryan did the same after the club's 5-3 win over the Edmonton Oilers the following night.

"I had a personal issue that arose," Ryan said. "I saw what (Guy) said and I'm going to follow him on that. What coach said was accurate; we dealt with it in house, and we're going to keep it in house. That's it."

He continued: "As far as we're concerned, (it's) already done. It's a non-issue."

Ryan recorded a shot in a little less than 15 minutes versus the Oilers.
