Ottawa Senators Have Promising Defenseman in Wideman
As the 3rd defensive pairing gets worked out for the Ottawa Senators, it appears likely that it’s going to consist of Chris Wideman alongside another player.
Wideman is a righty, and the only other right handed defenseman who seemingly has a chance to contend for that spot is Michael Kostka.
It’s a lot more crowded for that 3rd lefty spot. Mark Borowiecki, Thomas Chabot, and Fredrik Claesson are the main candidates who will battle for that spot.
Wideman should feel a lot more secure in his playing time, and judging from his performance in the AHL, the Senators could have a very formidable weapon on their hands.
