A younger, less-worldly Craig Anderson would have been rattled, unsettled about the uncertainty surrounding the Ottawa Senators season when he arrived for the start of training camp.
There are intriguing questions outside the crease for the Senators career goaltending leader in games played and wins, beginning with the top pairing on defence. How will captain Erik Karlsson, the straw that stirs the rink for the Senators, respond to the off-season left foot injury that caused him to miss the entire pre-season schedule? Will anyone suitably fill the role of Marc Methot, who served as the ideal stay-at-home complement for Karlsson before being lost in the expansion draft?
