The Senators called up Mika Zibanejad on Monday, according to an ESPN.com report.

The teams' first selection, sixth overall, at the 2011 draft, was in Ottawa enjoying a few days off due to the AHL All-Star break when he received a call saying the Senators wanted him at practice.

"I got the call this morning so it was nice," Zibanejad said. "It was a bit surprising since I was on the break, but I'm just happy to be here now."
