Senators place Lehner on IR with upper-body injury

Goaltender Robin Lehner will miss at least one more game after the Ottawa Senators placed him on injured reserve Thursday.

Lehner sat out Wednesday's contest after suffering an upper-body injury in a collision with teammate Clarke MacArthur on Monday. He will be ineligible to return for Saturday's home game against the Florida Panthers but can rejoin the Senators for their California road trip, which starts Feb. 25 against the Anaheim Ducks.

Andrew Hammond, who made 42 saves Wednesday to win his first NHL start, is likely to start again Saturday unless Craig Anderson is ready to return from a hand injury that has sidelined him since the end of January.
