Although it was already the likely scenario, it has been further confirmed that Drake Batherson is anticipating a return to action later this month. He is aiming to return for the home game against Florida on the 26th or the game in Nashville on the 29th. Batherson, 23, was Ottawa’s leading scorer before his injury with 34 points in 31 games, a 90 point pace over 82 games. Despite being out for so long, he has only dropped to third in team scoring, as Tkachuk and Stützle have passed him and he is tied with Norris and Connor Brown. The Sens have sorely missed Batherson’s contributions, and it will be great if he can play out the remainder of the season, especially once Sanderson joins the lineup. - - - - #ottawa #senators #sens #gosensgo #batherson
