Ottawa Senators centre Jason Spezza will likely return to the lineup on Saturday, when the club visits the Boston Bruins.

Spezza has been sidelined with a torn right MCL, an injury he suffered on December 14th in Toronto. In anticipation of his likely return, the club has re-assigned forward Zack Smith to Binghamton.

In 30 games this season, Spezza has five goals and 14 assists.
