Carter Yakemchuk<\/a>\u00a0got the call Monday night at his house in Belleville, Ontario. He drove 5 1\/2 hours to Detroit, arrived at the hotel in the wee hours of the morning and didn\u2019t sleep much.<\/p>\n Then, with no morning skate to help him prepare, the 20-year-old\u00a0defenseman was the First Star in his NHL debut Tuesday and helped the Ottawa Senators jump into a Stanley Cup Playoff spot.<\/p>\n With his family in the stands \u2014 after they had scrambled from Calgary to Toronto to Detroit \u2014 he had a goal and an assist in a 3-2 victory against the Detroit Red Wings. The Senators, who were last in the Atlantic Division two months ago, are on a 15-3-2 run and hold the second wild card in the Eastern Conference.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat a 24 hours for him,\u201d center Lars Eller said. \u201cIt was not an easy situation to be thrown into, and I think he handled it incredibly well. I\u2019m sure he\u2019s going to have a good career ahead of him.\u201d<\/p>\n You can click here to read the full article from NHL.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n Tickets to\u00a0remaining\u00a0home games\u00a02025-26 home games\u00a0are now on sale\u00a0via Ticketmaster<\/a>\u00a0or at the Belleville Sens Box Office\u00a0located\u00a0inside the Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre.
