DETROIT - The Hamburglar will make his return Friday night.
The Senators have decided to give backup Andrew “The Hamburglar” Hammond the start against the Detroit Red Wings in this home-and-home series that gets underway Friday night at the Joe Louis Arena. It’s expected that goalie Craig Anderson will play at home Saturday night.
This is a homecoming of sorts for Hammond. He makes his off-season home in nearby Grosse Pointe, Mich.
He missed the first two weeks of the season with a groin injury he suffered before an exhibition game Oct. 1 and has only made one start this season -- a 4-1 loss to the Arizona Coyotes Saturday at home.
