Zoe Pierce: Ottawa Senators defenseman Jake Sanderson left last night’s game in the second half after being hit in the head by Hurricanes Taylor Hall. Sanderson pitched two innings after hitting and then walking. Hall received a two-minute child for illegal testing.
Zoe Pierce: Just before Sanderson left the game, he blocked a shot, and it looked like he hurt his hand.
