The Ottawa Senators have recalled defenseman Dennis Gilbert from their AHL affiliate, Belleville, to bolster their left side defense following Thomas Chabots injury. Gilberts return comes after being traded from Philadelphia and resolving a contract dispute with prospect Max Guenette. The team may shift their defensive pairings, with Gilbert potentially replacing Nikolas Matinpalo on the bottom pairing or filling in for Tyler Kleven, who might be injured. Gilbert, who recently returned from a knee injury, brings a physical presence and could help ease the pressure on captain Brady Tkachuk, who recently had hand surgery.
