Senators' Dillon Heatherington: Sent down Thursday

Heatherington was sent down following Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Capitals.

Heatherington logged two hits and a blocked shot in 11:28 of ice time while filling in for Erik Brannstrom (leg). If Brannstrom is still sidelined following the holiday break, Heatherington would likely be summoned from the minors again.
