Senators' Carter Yakemchuk: Two helpers Friday

Yakemchuk provided two assists in Friday's 4-3 overtime exhibition win against Detroit.

Yakemchuk is showing why he was taken No. 7 overall in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft -- the young blueliner leads the Senators in points during the preseason with seven. Four of the Calgary native's seven points have come on the power play, and he's averaged 21:07 of ice time in four contests. If Yakemchuk is returned to the WHL this season, it'll likely be his final year there before turning pro.
