The Sens will be without another forward for a few weeks as Zack Smith is expected to miss a good chunk of time after leaving Friday's game with an injury.
"It's one month at least," said Guy Boucher about Smith's timeline. "It's not the orbital bone but he's got a broken bone in his face and it's going to take a while."
Smith joins Brady Tkachuk in the "week-to'week" category for the Senators as Tkachuk continues to recover from a torn ligament in his leg and isn't expected back until sometime in November.
"It's too bad," Boucher continued about the growing number of injurues. "The players have been pushing hard, sticking together and it's a really good group to work with. We're being tried right now injury-wise and because of our lack of experience it hurts you."
As a result of Smith's injury, Jack Rodewald has been recalled from Belleville.
