Jonathan Bernier is in concussion protocol, so Hammond will backup Varlamov against the Oilers tomorrow.

Hammond has gone 7-6-2 with a 3.44 GAA and .899 SV% in 17 games with the Belleville Senators this season. With Semyon Varlamov out with a lower-body injury, Hammond has been recalled to backup Jonathan Bernier for at least two games.

Hammond has spent all of 2017-18 in the AHL, where he has gone 2-2-1 with a 2.61 GAA and .925 SV% in seven starts with Belleville. He has made 55 career NHL appearances, going 27-14-6 with a 2.32 GAA and .923 SV%. He may stick in the AHL with Semyon Varlamov and Jonathan Bernier already with the Avalanche.

Hammond’s 2016-17 season wraps up having gone 2-3-0 with a 3.24 GAA and .884 SV% in five games with Binghamton (AHL) and 0-2-0 with 4.08 GAA and .837 SV% in six games with the Senators. He was injured over the weekend and will miss the remainder of the year.

Hammond went 0-2-0 with a 4.08 GAA and .837 SV% in four starts and two relief appearances with the Senators. Even with Craig Anderson away from the team for an extended period of time, Hammond fell way behind Mike Condon in the pecking order and was dealing with injuries of his own. He went unclaimed, so he heads to Binghamton where he is 0-2-0 with a 2.56 GAA and .907 SV% this season.

Hammond stopped the only shot that he faced after replacing Mike Condon in the Senators’ loss in Buffalo on Saturday. Tonight he’ll make his fourth start of the season and it is likely a way to showcase him before Craig Anderson is set to return. Hammond has an .857 SV% in five appearances this season.

Hammond suffered the injury early in the Senators’ win in Brooklyn on Sunday and will miss at least a few weeks. The Senators have recalled Matt O’Connor from Binghamton (AHL) to serve as Mike Condon’s backup until either Craig Anderson (personal) returns or Hammond is healthy.

Hammond will continue to be a yo-yo for the Senators while Craig Anderson comes and goes to be with his wife. Hammond will head out west with the team, likely to serve as Mike Condon’s backup.

Hammond has gone 0-2-0 with a 2.56 GAA and .907 SV% in two starts with Binghamton since being sent down, but rejoins the team because Craig Anderson is expected to leave the team again and be with his wife.

Hammond cleared waivers last week and has been sent to Binghamton because the Senators are going to roll with Craig Anderson and Mike Condon as their duo in net. Hammond had a 4.50 GAA and .793 SV% in two games this season.

Hammond was injured in the first period of Friday’s game and never returned to the game. The Senators are already without Craig Anderson, who is in Ottawa dealing with a personal matter, so they’re now left with just Chris Driedger and will likely recall Matt O’Connor as well if Hammond can’t play on Sunday.
