Senators' Casey Bailey: Returns to AHL

Bailey was demoted to AHL Binghamton on Saturday.

Analysis:

While he didn't find the scoresheet in the last two games, Bailey gave onlookers a sneak peek of his two-way acumen by hoisting six shots and four blocked shots over 9:56 of average ice time facing the Devils and Hurricanes, respectively. Still, this Ottawa team was shut out by Carolina, so GM Pierre Dorion has switched things up by sending Bailey and Max McCormick down in favor of Philip Varone and Michael Blunden -- it'll be important to find the right combination on the wings with Mike Hoffman (lower body), Bobby Ryan (finger) and Mark Stone (neck) all injured.
