Ottawa Senators goaltender Cam Talbot will miss three weeks due to a mid-body injury, head coach D.J. Smith announced Wednesday, according to TSN.
Talbot missed Ottawa's game against the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday. The club recalled Kevin Mandolese from the AHL for the contest, while Mads Sogaard earned the start in the 5-0 loss.
The Senators are amid a five-game road trip, and Talbot is returning to Ottawa for treatment, per TSN. The club is pushing for a playoff berth this season but sits five points back of a wild-card spot with 19 games remaining.
