Jake Lucchini Clears Waivers

January 18, 2023 at 1:00 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee Leave a Comment

Jan 18: Lucchini has cleared waivers and was assigned to the minor leagues.

Jan 17: The Ottawa Senators have placed Jake Lucchini on waivers today according to Chris Johnston of NorthStar Bets, which would allow them to return him to the minor leagues. The depth forward already cleared earlier this season, but played his 11th game of the year last night, meaning his status has reset.

Lucchini, 27, received his first taste of NHL action this season, after toiling in the minor leagues since 2018. Stops in Wilke-Barre/Scranton and Laval didn’t go very well, but the undrafted center exploded last year for the Belleville Senators, scoring 20 goals and 51 points in 72 games. After starting this season on an even better pace, he has managed to carve out a small role in the Ottawa depth chart.

Though he likely won’t be an impact player for them, Lucchini will probably see some more NHL action at some point down the road.

The bigger implication here is that Joshua Norris could be ready to return for the Senators. The 23-year-old center set a career-high with 35 goals in just 66 games for the team last season, but has suited up just five times this year. After missing several months, his return would be a huge boost for an Ottawa team just trying to build their program and stay competitive. The playoffs may not be possible – they currently sit 19-21-3 – but development for their young players could easily lead to more success a year from now.

Senators Recall Jake Lucchini, Reassign Dillon Heatherington

December 30, 2022 at 11:18 am CDT | by Brian La Rose Leave a Comment

Dec 30, 11:18 am: Ottawa has returned Heatherington to the minors, signaling that fan favorite Artem Zub could be close to a return to the lineup.

Dec 27, 9:51 am: The Senators have brought back some extra depth as the team announced (Twitter link) that they’ve recalled defenseman Dillon Heatherington and winger Jake Lucchini from Belleville of the AHL.

Heatherington should be used to the frequent shuffling by now as this is his third recall of the month and fourth of the season overall.  Despite the recalls, the 27-year-old has only suited up with Ottawa once this year.  He has spent the bulk of his time with Belleville where he has five points in 19 games.

As for Lucchini, he made his NHL debut earlier this month against Montreal.  The 27-year-old has been quite productive in the minors this season with 23 points in 25 games after putting up 51 points with Belleville last season.

The recalls come on the heels of some injury news as head coach D.J. Smith told TSN 1200 (Twitter link) that winger Tyler Motte has a broken finger, Rourke Chartier has an upper-body injury, and Erik Brannstrom has a lower-body issue.  As a result, Heatherington and Lucchini might be a little more than just spare players this time around.
