Senators activate Wiercioch off injured reserve

Ottawa Senators defenseman Patrick Wiercioch (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, Dean Brown of TSN 1200 reports.

Analysis:

Wiercioch has missed the Senators' last three games with an upper-body issue, but is now healthy, and eligible to draw back into Ottawa's lineup if called upon. The 25-year-old blueliner will be a healthy scratch for Saturday's tilt against the Coyotes, however, as the Senators have won four games in a row, and have opted to stick with the same winning formula heading into Saturday evening's contest.
