Latendresse hasn't played since May 3. He had six goals and 10 points in 27 games in 2012-13.

Gryba collided with Brooks Orpik late in the second period of Game 1 against the Pittsburgh Penguins. There's some speculation that he might have a concussion, but that hasn't been confirmed.

Anaheim's Bruce Boudreau and Chicago's Joel Quenneville are the other candidates for the award that will go "to the NHL coach adjudged to have contributed the most to his team's success." It would be surprising if MacLean misses out on this award. His Senators had to overcome major injuries to Craig Anderson, Erik Karlsson, Milan Michalek, and Jason Spezza. The fact that they managed to make the playoffs despite that is incredible.

"I'm not playing the way I did when I got hurt and that's just the way it is," Karlsson said. "I'm trying to figure it out. Every once in a while it works and you feel pretty good out there. I've got to find the consistent game as well." Even a partially healthy Karlsson is valuable to the Senators though, as they continue to play in the postseason against Pittsburgh in the second round.

He took Matt Kassian's spot on the third line with Zack Smith and Chris Neil during Thursday's practice. Latendresse played in two games against Montreal in Round 1 and he had one goal.

It looks like he'll play in Game 2 Friday against Pittsburgh if Eric Gryba isn't able to suit up. Gryba is listed as a game-time decision.

If Gryba is unavailable then Andre Benoit or Mike Lundin will take his place in the lineup. He sustained an upper-body injury, which may have been a concussion, when he collided with Brooks Orpik late in the second period of Ottawa's semifinal opener against Pittsburgh.
