DENVER – The Ottawa Senators are riding a season-high five game winning streak, but they’re paying the price for that success.

As the club continues to battle injury upon injury – Mark Stone was hurt late in Thursday’s comeback 3-2 overtime win over the Arizona Coyotes — Phil Varone was recalled Friday morning from Binghamton of the American Hockey League.

Varone has no points in six previous games with the Senators. He has 13 goals and 29 assists in 51 games with Binghamton.

While the Senators will attempt to run the winning streak to six games against the Colorado Avalanche Saturday, their forward group is limping.

Stone (undisclosed) joins Kyle Turris (bruised finger) and Bobby Ryan (broken finger) on the injury list.

Chris DiDomenico, who made his NHL debut in Thursday’s win over Arizona, will stay in the lineup against the Avalanche.

The Senators will not practice Friday.
