Christian Jaros News

Jaros was not in the lineup for the last two games, but will replace Chris Wideman on Monday. Jaros has registered just one assist in 14 games with the Senators this season.

Jaros has played for Ottawa and Belleville this season, picking up one assist in two NHL games. Jaros could play on Saturday as the elect to go with 11 forwards and seven defensemen.

Jaros has been recalled likely to serve as the Senators reserve defenseman while Cody Ceci (upper-body) is on IR. Jaros played in two NHL games with the Senators last season, spending most of the year in Belleville—tallying three goals and 13 assists (16 points) in 44 games.

The Senators blueline is banged up; Erik Karlsson is still fighting a foot injury, Johnny Oduya missed Saturday’s game with a lower-body injury and Ben Harpur left that game with an upper-body ailment. Jarod was a fifth round pick in 2015 and has played just two games in North America after coming over from Sweden. Jaros will likely serve as the Senators’ seventh defenseman on their road-trip.

Nakladal, 28, failed to record a point in three games with the Hurricanes, but he will head to Charlotte after being a healthy scratch in 10 of the first 13 games.

Nakladal, 28, split his time between the AHL and NHL in 2015-16, totalling five points (2G / 3A) in 27 games with the Flames and 14 points (2G / 12A) in 35 games with the Stockton Heat. The 6-foot-2, 212 lbs. defenseman adds depth to the Hurricanes’ blueline but figures to start the year in the AHL.
