Senators defenceman Eric Gryba to return from suspension against Canadiens
OTTAWA – Eric Gryba will be in the Ottawa Senators lineup tonight against the Montreal Canadiens for Game 4 of their Eastern Conference quarter-final.
Senators coach Paul MacLean confirmed after the morning skate that Gryba would suit up with Ottawa leading the series 2-1.
The bruising defenceman was suspended for the last two games of the series for his hit on Montreal centre Lars Eller in Game 1.
Gryba caught Eller with his head down at the Montreal blue-line just as he received a pass, sending the Habs forward flying.
Eller, who was sent to hospital with a concussion, broken nose and some lost teeth, remains out of the Canadiens lineup.
Montreal coach Michel Therrien and a number of his players were incensed after the hit, sparking a war of words that included Habs forward Brandon Prust calling MacLean “a bug-eyed, fat walrus.”
