The key to becoming a staple in any NHL side is consistency. Andrew Hammond does not provide that. Granted he has had some outrageous streaks, too many times have they been followed up with substandard goaltending.
With Mike Condon coming in and Craig Anderson returning to the helm. The Ottawa Senators simply have no need for Hammond in the NHL. Most likely he will clear waivers and return to Binghamton.
Let’s not forget the incredible run he went on covering for Anderson in 2015. Going 14-0-1 in 15 starts, a 1.67 GAA and .946 save percentage. This was the Hamburglar in full effect, the Sens have seen nothing of the like since.
