Stone out with neck injury, Ryan sidelined 4-6 weeks as Sens hit hard

The results are in, and it's not good news for the Ottawa Senators.

After a weekend full of injuries to key forwards, the Senators provided some updates Tuesday after the morning skate.

Per TSN's Darren Dreger:

• Forward Mark Stone is out with a neck injury, with no timetable at this point.
• Bobby Ryan will miss four-to-six weeks with a broken finger.
• Mike Hoffman has a groin injury, and won't play Tuesday versus New Jersey.

Stone was the victim of a high hit from Jets defenseman Jacob Trouba, who earned a two-game suspension for the collision. The silver lining is there is no concussion for the 24-year-old, who's dealt with them in the past.

Ryan, meanwhile, took a shot of the hand Saturday versus Toronto. Hoffman was injured Sunday, and head coach Guy Boucher didn't provide an immediate timeline.

The injury wave comes at a crucial time for Ottawa, who just pulled within two points of Montreal for the Atlantic Division lead.

Replacing the missing offense won't be easy:

Tuesday's game versus the Devils is the start of a four-game road trip, which will also feature games versus the Hurricanes, Panthers, and Lightning.
