Senators forward and former Penguin Shean Donovan (right) spoke about being on the receving end of a hit by Penguins forward Matt Cooke in the Senators' 6-2 win Thursday.
Donovan will be out six to eight weeks to recover from damage to his MCL in his right knee.
Of the hit, Donovan said:
"Obviously, I let my guard down. I've played against him many times and
he finishes his checks. It was a hit and he finished it with his knee
-- but it's not the dirtiest check I've ever seen."
Of the recovery:
"It's just a matter of making sure the MCL heals and then you put a
brace on it. I've had it hurt before, so it's not that big of a deal."
