OTTAWA — The Ottawa Senators aren’t taking any chances in rushing Mark Stone back too soon.
Stone was on the ice for the start of Monday’s practice — the forward's first appearance with his teammates since last Wednesday when he was crushed by an open ice hit from Dustin Byfuglien of the Winnipeg Jets — but didn’t stay for the duration.
“He left, he was not feeling well,” said Senators coach Dave Cameron. “The flu is going through the team. I’m not going to jump to any conclusions here, but obviously, we’re going to consider what happened with the hit.
