Despite the fact that the Senators are 9-3-1 with him in the lineup, Zack 'Z.' Smith was re-assigned to the Binghamton Senators today. Once their season ends, he'll likely be recalled as a black ace for the playoffs.

If I had to guess, Bobby Butler's likely going to get some playing time until Milan Michalek is ready to return from his injury.

UPDATE: In an interview with the Team 1200, Butler said he expects to play tomorrow against the Hurricanes.
