After serving a two-game suspension, Ottawa Senators winger Parker Kelly is eager to return to the ice.
Kelly was suspended for two games after delivering a hit to the head of Toronto Maple Leafs forward Pierre Engvall during a game on October 9th. The hit resulted in a five-minute major penalty and a game misconduct for Kelly.
The 22-year-old rookie has since apologized for the hit and accepted his punishment. He used the time off to reflect on his actions and work on improving his game.
Now, as he prepares to rejoin his team, Kelly is determined to make a positive impact on the ice. He understands the importance of playing within the rules and is committed to being a clean and responsible player.
Kelly’s return comes at a crucial time for the Senators, who have struggled in the early part of the season. With a record of 1-4-1, the team is looking for a spark to turn their season around. Kelly’s energy and physicality could provide just that.
Head coach D.J. Smith is excited to have Kelly back in the lineup and believes he can make a difference for the team. Smith has praised Kelly’s work ethic and determination, and is confident that he will come back even stronger after his suspension.
Kelly’s teammates are also looking forward to his return. Captain Brady Tkachuk has expressed his support for Kelly and believes he will bring a much-needed boost to the team.
Kelly’s suspension may have been a setback, but he is using it as motivation to come back stronger and make a positive impact for his team. He has learned from his mistake and is ready to move forward and contribute to the Senators’ success.
As the Senators prepare to face the San Jose Sharks on October 14th, all eyes will be on Kelly as he makes his return to the ice. Fans are eager to see how he will perform and if he can help turn the team’s season around.
Kelly’s suspension may have been a tough lesson, but it has also given him a chance to reflect and improve. He is determined to make the most of his second chance and help his team succeed.
