Senators' Spezza out with hurt shoulder

Ottawa Senators center Jason Spezza is out indefinitely with a right shoulder injury.

Spezza was hurt moments after he got his third assist in the second period of Sunday night's 3-1 win over Pittsburgh. He left the game after being checked into the boards from behind by Kris Letang.

There was no immediate word on whether surgery would be required. The team said Monday the injury was considered ''long-term.''

Spezza has 20 points, with nine goals and 11 assists, in 32 games this season.
