The Senators could start the season without Filip Kuba.
The Senators defenceman is being sent for further tests on his right leg after he hit a rut in the ice only 15 minutes into the club’s first workout Saturday.
Coach Cory Clouston didn’t sound optimistic.
“He’s going for x-rays this afternoon. We’ll know more later. Right now that’s all we can say,” said Clouston. “We had to play a lot without him last year. Obviously we may start the season without him again. I guess if you’re going to do it, do it at the start of the season.”

This is a real bummer for Sens fans.
Kuba has been hurt so much that many fans don’t have much of an opinion on the guy. Or when they do, it’s a pretty negative one. When they were paired last year he had pretty good chemistry with Karlsson and I think the team was hoping to see more - and have a one two punch with Gonchar and Phillps, Kuba and Karlsson.
There’s video of Kuba leaving the ice floating around, and the injury looks like it could be pretty severe.
