Senators activate Ryan from injured reserve

The Ottawa Senators have activated forward Bobby Ryan and defenseman Mark Borowiecki from injured reserve, the club announced Monday.

Ryan will be reinserted into the lineup Thursday when the Sens take on the Pittsburgh Penguins, according to Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun.

Expect Bobby Ryan to start with Matt Duchene. My belief is Boucher wants to see if there's a fit there. #Sens

Ryan has missed the club's last eight games after suffering a broken finger during a 6-3 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Oct. 21.

While he will enter the lineup still searching for his first goal of the season, the 30-year-old has collected six assists in eight contests.

Borowiecki, meanwhile, has been activated after missing the team's last five games with an illness.
