It feels like Christian Jaros has been one breakthrough away from locking up a full-time spot with the Ottawa Senators for three seasons now. After being selected by the Sens in the 5th round of the 2015 draft, Jaros came over to North America at the start of the 2017-18 season. At the outset of that campaign, the team featured Erik Karlsson and Cody Ceci firmly entrenched at the top of the depth chart on the right side, with Chris Wideman rounding out the top six. Jaros was expected to spend the majority of his time in the AHL, where he would acclimate to the North American game and bide his time until an opening on the big club presented itself.
