Sanderson (upper body) will not be available versus Florida on Tuesday, Jackson Starr of the Senators' official site reports.

Scouting Report

The son of former NHL speedster and scoring winger Geoff Sanderson, he comes complete with tremendous pedigree and family genes. While not as top-end fast as his father, he is a very smooth skater with excellent mobility from the back end. He also features great hockey IQ and a low-maintenance approach to the game. Can be used in all game situations and is a true minute muncher. While he does have some ability to produce points, he is not a game-breaking offensive talent from the back end. Still a bit raw, he has a very projectable frame but will need to add more bulk and get stronger physically for the NHL.

Long Range Potential: Quality, big-minute defenseman with upside.
