Sens scratch Ceci, Boedker in final game before trade deadline

The Ottawa Senators will scratch defenseman Cody Ceci and forward Mikkel Boedker for their game versus the Calgary Flames on Sunday, the team announced.

The contest is Ottawa's last before Monday's trade deadline, and multiple teams have interest in Ceci, according to TSN's Darren Dreger.

The Senators have been scratching their high-profile trade assets for precautionary reasons throughout the week, and they've already unloaded Matt Duchene and Ryan Dzingel in separate deals. Forward Mark Stone, the biggest name of them all, will sit out his third straight game.

Ceci, 26, has recorded 20 points in 57 games while averaging over 22 minutes per night this season, while Boedker has notched six goals and 23 assists in his first campaign with the Senators.
