Bobby Ryan will be a healthy scratch for the Ottawa Senators on Sunday night when they host the San Jose Sharks.
Senators head coach D.J. Smith confirmed the news Sunday morning and said 22-year-old Filip Chlapik would be recalled from AHL Belleville.
Ryan, 32, has one goal and three assists through 10 games this season for Ottawa (2-7-1) while seeing reduced ice time in the process. He hasn’t logged more than 15:20 all year.
Chlapik has one goal in six games in the AHL after opening the year with the Senators. He had an assist in an opening night loss to Toronto.
