Senators Recall Max Guenette

January 7, 2025 at 8:52 am CDT | by Josh Erickson Leave a Comment

The Senators recalled defenseman Max Guenette from AHL Belleville on Tuesday, per a team announcement. The move indicates Jacob Bernard-Docker will be unavailable for tonight’s game against the Red Wings after sustaining a lower-body injury in Monday’s practice. Guenette puts Ottawa one over the active roster limit, so a corresponding transaction, likely an injured reserve placement of some kind, is still coming.

It’s Guenette’s first recall of the season but not the first of his career. The 23-year-old has logged eight appearances for the Sens since the 2022-23 campaign, posting a minus-two rating and eight shots on goal while averaging 13:10 of time on ice per game.

A seventh-round pick by Ottawa in 2019, Guenette has already given the Senators positive value on their selection just by beating the odds to appear in an NHL contest. The Sens have controlled 46.2% of shot attempts with Guenette on the ice at even strength in his limited minutes – not great, but not painting him as a humongous liability, either. He’s a fine replacement-level call-up at this stage of his career with more room still to grow.

Whether he’ll get the chance to show that ceiling on this call-up is uncertain, however. Ottawa also summoned Nikolas Matinpalo from Belleville yesterday, so even with Bernard-Docker out and Travis Hamonic heading to injured reserve, Guenette is likely to sit in the press box for tonight’s game unless another injury strikes.

Guenette, a Quebec native, has nine points and a team-high +16 rating in 27 games for Belleville this season. Emerging as their top shutdown option, Guenette also serves as an alternate captain for the B-Sens in what’s now his fourth season of professional hockey.

In terms of who may land on IR to make room for Guenette’s recall, Bernard-Docker and goaltender Linus Ullmark are the likely options. JBD’s placement will be contingent on the results of his post-injury evaluation, while Ullmark has already missed multiple games with a back strain and could be eligible for activation at any time.
