DETROIT – Andrew Hammond is receiving a shot at ending the Ottawa Senators three-game losing streak in a pivotal game Tuesday against the Detroit Red Wings.

Hammond hasn’t played since losing 5-1 against the New York Rangers, which ended his incredible streak of not losing in regulation in his first 15 NHL starts.

Hammond, who has been plagued with back problems for the past few days, will replace Craig Anderson, who was in goal for the Senators weekend losses against the Toronto Maple Leafs and Florida Panthers.

The Red Wings, who have had goaltending issues of their own, will start former Ottawa 67’s netminder Petr Mrazek. Mrazek, who allowed four goals on 11 shots in his last start, got the call ahead of veteran Jimmy Howard.
