The Ottawa Senators have sent goaltender Andrew Hammond to their AHL affiliate in Binghamton for a conditioning stint.
Hammond had been out with a head injury since Nov. 15 after taking multiple pucks to the mask.
The 27-year-old can remain with the Binghamton Senators for up to 14 days before returning to Ottawa.
Hammond signed a three-year $4.05-million contract after leading the team to a surprise playoff berth last season.
He’s only played four games this year, with a 2-0-2 record, 2.42 goals-against average and a .930 save percentage.
