And unfortunately, they could be without defenseman Jake Sanderson for the upcoming win-or-go-home Game 4. Sanderson left Thursday&#8217;s contest with an injury after a really scary hit.<\/p>\n<p>Sanderson attempted to make a play behind the online during Game 3. As he was skating, he took a scary hit to the pinnacle from Hurricanes forward Taylor Hall. Sanderson immediately went after Hall, and the veteran forward received a two-minute penalty. Sanderson left the sport shortly thereafter.<\/p>\n<p>Following the sport, head coach Travis Green didn&#8217;t have an update on Sanderson&#8217;s condition. Nevertheless, he did take the time to <a href=\"https:\/\/ottawacitizen.com\/ottawa-senators\/senators-coach-travis-green-incensed-at-losing-jake-sanderson-to-a-head-shot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rip into the officials<\/a> for not calling a five-minute major for this hit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s pretty obvious why he left the sport,\u201d Green said, via Postmedia reporter Bruce Garrioch. \u201cI just don\u2019t understand why there isn\u2019t a five-minute major called on the hit to the pinnacle. It\u2019s a blatant hit to the pinnacle. Those are the sorts of hits you don\u2019t wish to see. It was ridiculous; there wasn\u2019t a review.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sanderson emerged as a legitimate No. 1 defenseman in the course of the 2025-26 season. The Senators star averaged nearly 25 minutes of ice time for his club. Moreover, he scored 14 goals and 54 points from the blueline in 67 games.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s unknown whether Sanderson will have the option to suit up in Game 4. It will surely be a serious blow if he needed to miss the competition. Game 4 between the Senators and Hurricanes takes place on Saturday afternoon from the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Ottawa Senators lost Game 3 to the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday.
