Senators' Norris out extended period with upper-body injury
Ottawa Senators head coach Jacques Martin said forward Josh Norris will miss an extended period with an upper-body injury, according to The Athletic's Ian Mendes.
The club is still awaiting a more specific timeline, Martin added.
Norris was injured midway through Tuesday's loss to the Nashville Predators. He left the contest after a collision behind Ottawa's net and didn't return.

Norris was limited to only eight games in 2022-23 due to multiple shoulder injuries. He underwent surgery last January.
The 24-year-old has appeared in 50 contests this season, logging 16 goals and 14 assists.
Along with Norris' injury, Martin revealed defenseman Travis Hamonic is out week-to-week.
