Wiercioch (muscle strain) was activated from injured reserve Thursday, Ian Mendes of TSN 1200 reports. Wiercioch had often served as a healthy scratch for the Senators prior to landing on injured reserve, so his circumstances probably won't change much, despite the fact he's no longer dealing with the injury. Milan Michalek (upper body) was shuttled to IR to create roster room for Wiercioch.
