Ottawa Senators forward Ryan Dzingel will be in the lineup Thursday against the Calgary Flames, his first game with the Senators since being re-acquired from the Carolina Hurricanes on Feb. 13.
Dzingel completed his mandatory 14-day quarantine over the weekend and has been practising with the Senators since Sunday. He began his career with the Senators, playing three-and-a-half seasons in Ottawa before being traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets at the 2018-19 trade deadline.
"It's been a long time since I was excited and nervous to practice," he said after his first practice Sunday, according to NHL.com. "It was an awesome day and I can't get wait to get things going in a real game and I'm itching to get out there."
Dzingel, who turns 29 next week, has four points in 11 games this season.
