Re-conditioned Winchester returns to Senators

The Ottawa Senators announced that forward Jesse Winchester has returned from the club’s American Hockey League affiliate, the Binghamton Senators, where he had been loaned on a two-week conditioning assignment since Oct. 23.

Winchester, 26, sustained a right-knee injury in the Senators’ 2-1 pre-season loss in Montreal on Sept. 18 and has yet to see regular-season action with Ottawa. In four games with the B-Sens, he recorded four points (two goals and two assists) and no penalty minutes.
