Senators' Jim O'Brien: Skips back to minor league
Jim O'Brien was reassigned to AHL Belleville on Wednesday.O'Brien was called up Tuesday and ended up skating for 9:18 of ice time in a 7-2 home loss to the Panthers. The AHL's Ottawa Senators don't play again until Friday, but the big club is expected to reintroduce Ryan Dzingel (bruise) in the lineup and he evidently takes priority over an inexperienced player like O'Brien, who has only managed to sneak into 77 NHL games at the top level between the Senators and Devils after Ottawa took him 29th overall in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft.

Senators' Jim O'Brien: Called up Tuesday
Jim O'Brien was recalled from AHL Belleville on Tuesday.O'Brien has largely toiled in the minors since the Ottawa Senators drafted him with a first-round (29th overall) draft pick in 2007. Ryan Dzingel has already been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Panthers, so O'Brien could be deployed for his 10th NHL contest of the 2017-18 campaign. Still, with only 13 points (eight goals, five assists) through 76 games at the highest level, he's a desperation play in fantasy.

Avalanche's Jim O'Brien: Summoned to parent club
Jim O'Brien was recalled by the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday.Despite hearing his name called by the Senators in the first round (29th overall) of 2007 draft, O'Brien has failed to garner a full-time role in the NHL -- he's only appeared in 67 career games -- and it's evident that he's best suited as a call-up option. In this case, he'll assume the spot of Rene Bourque, who has been placed on injured reserve with a lower-body ailment.
