Ryan felt like he had "more jump" when skating next to Mika Zibanejad in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime victory against the Wild, Don Brennan of the Ottawa Sun reports.

Analysis:

Ryan has spent a majority of his time of late on the third line alongside Scott Gomez and Ryan Dzingel, but coach Dave Cameron shuffled the line in Tuesday's win and the winger expressed that it felt more "familiar." The 29-year-old has two straight 50-point seasons, so it's not like he has had a down year, but he may benefit down the stretch if Cameron allows him to skate next to players that have been around the Sens longer than Dzingel and Gomez.
