We haven’t seen last of O’Connor with Ottawa Senators
As the Senators packed their bags for a trip to Columbus Tuesday afternoon, Matt O’Connor was jumping in a car to head for Binghamton.
With Andrew (The Hamburglar) Hammond ready to return from his groin injury, the Senators sent the 25-year-old O’Connor back to the club’s AHL affiliate in Binghamton where he was expected to start the year in the first place and be the No. 1 goalie until the next time he’s needed back in Ottawa.
While O’Connor was sent to Binghamton late in training camp, he was only on the ice with the Baby Sens for 25 minutes before he got the call to come back to Ottawa because Hammond had been hurt. He arrived at the Bell Centre in Montreal Oct. 1 with only 45 minutes to opening faceoff.
