Ottawa Senators forward Nick Cousins faces a recovery period of seven to 10 days after sustaining an injury during a Tuesday night matchup against the Washington Capitals. Cousins was forced out of the lineup following a heavy check delivered by Washington defenseman Jakob Chychrun.
Game officials reviewed the collision during the contest and determined the contact was entirely within the rules, assessing no penalty on the play. Further updates regarding the player's rehabilitation timeline are anticipated as the story develops.
