Andrew Ference logged a game-high 27:33 of ice time in Boston's 5-2 victory over Ottawa on Wednesday night. He collected two assists and a plus-3 rating, while captain Zdeno Chara was sidelined for a second straight contest with a knee injury. Ference also posted three shots and two hits. He could be a player to watch in deeper leagues if you are looking for a short-term replacement, but we wouldn't expect production like that to come very often from Boston's depth blueliner.
