Shorthanded Senators happy to get Stone back from injury

MONTREAL — The Senators keep having to plug holes.

While winger Mark Stone will return after missing seven games with a leg injury he suffered against the Arizona Coyotes, the Senators will be without winger Viktor Stalberg Saturday night against the Montreal Canadiens. Stalberg is out with an undisclosed upper body injury.

That news arrived Saturday morning as defenceman Marc Methot, who broke his finger after an ugly slash from Sidney Crosby Thursday, starts to miss time, with his spot taken by Fredrik Claesson. As expected, Craig Anderson will make the start.

Still getting Stone back is a huge boost.
