The Ottawa Senators appear to be on the verge of getting significantly healthier, with three injured players taking encouraging steps at Saturday’s morning skate.
The Ottawa Senators are nearing full health after Artem Zub, Andre Burakovsky, and Kurtis MacDermid took major steps at Saturday's practice.
