Fantasy Analysis
He left the game during the second period and did not return. There's no indication if he might be back in time for Game 5 which goes Saturday night. Consider him day-to-day for now, but it could be longer term as Jesse Winchester did suffer a concussion earlier this season which forced him to miss three months. (Updated 04/20/2012).
12/20/2011 22:27 Newcomer Turris contributes to Sens win
Erik Condra combined with newly acquired Ottawa center Kyle Turris on the first of Condra's two goals and lifted the Senators on to a 4-1 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday.
Winchester is a solid if unspectacular fourth line center who is not looked upon to score points. Rather, he kills penalties and works the boards quite well, providing a strong defensive conscious for his line. The 27-year-old could be the odd man out though entering the 2011-12 season with the off-season signing of center Zenon Konopka who will play on the fourth line for Ottawa. Winchester will need to have a strong training camp in September as he'll be in tough to earn minutes this season. (Updated 8/16/11)
