Puempel’s Last Stand

Tonight’s game against the Buffalo Sabres could be the final NHL game Matt Puempel plays with the Senators organization.

The 23-year-old is a restricted free agent in the summer of 2017, and it doesn’t feel like Sens management is too keen on extending him. Puempel has looked a step behind the better players during the preseason, and though he has three tallies in six games, the few points that he’s mustered have been tap-ins or served to him on a silver platter.
