The Senators centre has made progress in strengthening his shoulder since the decision was made for him not to undergo surgery.
Let’s put it this way: It looks better than it did for Norris to play than it did when he initially suffered the injury to the same shoulder that forced him to miss 15 games last season.said before the club’s 3-2 victory over the Nashville Predators here Saturday.
“It’s going to be by feel,” Smith said. “It’s going to be as he practices, as he bumps into people, as he grinds in the corners and he’s going to know when he’s ready. When he’s ready, he’ll take the non-contact jersey off and he’ll be out there competing and pushing me for when he wants to go in.” Signed to a eight-year, $63-million deal in the summer, Norris also underwent surgery on the shoulder after playing for Team USA at the IIHF world junior championship in 2019. This is a different injury, and that’s why it didn’t require a procedure.
