Sens’ Regin suffers upper-body injury

peterregin2getty

The Ottawa Senators fell short 1-0 to the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday, and it looks like they lost another forward. This time, Peter Regin suffered an upper-body injury,* leaving the depth scorer’s status for their next game on Tuesday uncertain.

On the bright side, it doesn’t look like Regin aggravated a previous shoulder issue.

The 26-year-old forward isn’t a huge impact player - he has managed just two assists and 19 shots in 12 games this season - but Ottawa’s already facing some challenges on offense.

Jason Spezza is sidelined indefinitely after back surgery while Guillaume Latendresse is day-to-day with a neck injury.

The team failed to score against Al Montoya and the Jets today, leaving guys like Erik Karlsson to shoulder a big burden. The 22-year-old blueliner fired 13 shots toward the net, with just three actually forcing a save, according to CBS’ Adam Gretz.

To give you an idea of today’s overall mood, head coach Paul MacLean only provided two bright spots to Sportsnet’s Ian Mendes: the play of Ben Bishop and Stephane Da Costa.

* - MacLean amusingly described it as “an upper-body whatever ... something” to NHL.com’s Erin Nicks.
