However, adding an extra body never hurts. Hawryluk will likely get to play if Ottawa starts to sit any players out in fear of injury. Hawryluk is a solid bottom-six player who brings it every night that he plays.<\/p>\n<p>This season, he has one goal and two assists for three points in 15 games with the Panthers. Last year he had 12 points in 42 games. Offence isn&#8217;t his specialty, however, he is very reliable in his own end which is always a helpful thing in the NHL. Especially on a young team like Ottawa. Jayce Hawryluk was drafted back in 2014, 32nd overall in round two of the NHL Entry Draft. He has only played with the Florida organization.<\/p>\n<h3>Going Forward<\/h3>\n<p>Moving forward, Ottawa will likely need Hawryluk as the deadline approaches. He can play if they need to sit anyone. However, he will also be a useful body post-deadline. This way, Ottawa doesn&#8217;t need to rush any of their prospects up from Belleville if they don&#8217;t feel the need to. They can continue to take big roles in the AHL instead of bottom-six roles in the NHL. It will be a busy time for the Senators here going forward. They have plenty of names that teams will likely be looking at.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"VGkOHQUGQk9UojrMFfN9mA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.ca\/detail\/1191476738\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'VGkOHQUGQk9UojrMFfN9mA',sig:'pZUu2B-2jugqMO_tns7TonDSwOJEakUxByVQUm8gQRM=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1191476738',caption: true ,tld:'ca',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ottawa Senators announced Monday afternoon that they have claimed forward Jayce Hawryluk off of waivers from the Florida Panthers.
