Senators' Hayden Hodgson: On the ice Thursday

Hodgson (lower body) skated in Thursday's practice, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.

Hodgson was bothered by a lower-body issue that kept him out of the Senators' playoff series versus the Maple Leafs, but he's recovered now. The 29-year-old is a long shot to make the NHL roster and may have to begin 2025-26 with AHL Belleville, though he could be a candidate for a call-up later in the year.
