Senators' Adam Gaudette: Gets back in goal column
Gaudette scored a goal in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Islanders.
Gaudette could have had two tallies in the contest, but the Islanders won a challenge the first time he put the puck in the net. He scored officially at 8:42 of the second period ending a 15-game point drought in which he logged just three assists. The 28-year-old has done enough to stay in the lineup, but his ice time remains limited despite him being listed on the second line. He's at 14 goals, 19 points, 52 shots on net, 33 hits and a plus-7 rating through 42 appearances.

Senators' Artem Zub: Pots empty-netter Tuesday
Zub scored an empty-net goal in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Islanders.
It was the 29-year-old blueliner's first goal of the season, and his first point in seven games since returning from a broken foot he suffered in late November. Zub won't provide much offense, but he can be an asset in fantasy formats that value other categories, producing 18 blocked shots, nine hits and a plus-3 rating in those seven contests.

Senators' Leevi Merilainen: Blanks Isles for second shutout
Merilainen made 24 saves in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Islanders.
All of a sudden, the 22-year-old rookie might be the hottest goalie in the NHL. Merilainen has started three straight games and won all three, with two of those outings producing his first two career shutouts. In seven outings since he was called up in mid-December, he's gone 5-2-0 with a 1.98 GAA and .925 save percentage, and the Senators appear willing to give him a shot at taking the No. 1 job away from Anton Forsberg. There's no timeline yet for Linus Ullmark (back) to make his return from IR, but the Sens could have a dilemma on their hands when he does -- or an opportunity to trade one of their veteran netminders -- if Merilainen is still surging.

Senators' Maxence Guenette: Drops to AHL
Guenette was reassigned to AHL Belleville on Tuesday, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.
Guenette was a healthy scratch for five straight games, including Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Islanders, so the Senators may want to get him some playing time. The move also frees up a roster spot if the Senators need to get a left-shot defenseman on the roster after Thomas Chabot (face) was injured Tuesday. Guenette is a right-shot blueliner and would not be a natural replacement in the lineup if necessary.

Senators' Thomas Chabot: Exits after puck to face
Chabot was hit in the face by a puck in Tuesday's game versus the Islanders and won't return for precautionary reasons.
The precuationary label suggests Chabot is not dealing with a serious injury after sustaining the injury in the first period. His status for Thursday versus the Capitals is unclear. Maxence Guenette would likely draw into the lineup if Chabot is unavailable.

Senators' Cole Reinhardt: Out again Tuesday
Reinhardt (upper body) won't play Tuesday versus the Islanders, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.
Reinhardt will miss his second game in a row. The 24-year-old may not be guaranteed a place in the lineup once healthy if the Senators are happy with the performance of Matthew Highmore. Reinhardt's next chance to play is Thursday at home versus the Capitals.

Senators' Leevi Merilainen: Drawing road start
Merilainen will defend the road cage Tuesday versus the Islanders, according to TSN 1200 Ottawa.
After conceding four goals in a loss to Dallas in his first start in January, Merilainen has won back-to-back games, including a 29-save shutout over Pittsburgh on Saturday. The Islanders are tied for 26th in the league with 2.67 goals per game, but they've played better recently, having gone 3-0-0 on their most recent road trip.

Senators' Nick Jensen: Adds assist in win
Jensen logged an assist and two blocked shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Stars.
Jensen has contributed three helpers and eight blocked shots over his last four contests. The 34-year-old defenseman isn't always consistent on offense, but he's playing in a top-four role that allows him to get some looks at times. For the season, he has two goals, 14 assists, 52 blocks, 50 shots on net, 39 hits and a plus-15 rating over 42 appearances.

Senators' Nick Cousins: Collects assist
Cousins produced an assist and three shots on goal in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Stars.
Cousins has been limited to two assists over his last eight outings. The 31-year-old doesn't have to score to be productive -- he also has 10 PIM and 16 hits in that span. He's been a bottom-six fixture for the Senators this season, earning five goals, eight assists, 57 shots on net, 66 hits, 35 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 40 appearances. That's a level of production that only fantasy managers in deep formats will appreciate.

Senators' Shane Pinto: Records helper in win
Pinto logged an assist in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Stars.
Pinto now has three points over his last two outings after picking up just one assist in the previous seven games. The 24-year-old center often plays more than his third-line role would suggest -- he led all Senators forwards with 21:50 of ice time Sunday, his second straight game over the 20-minute mark. He's produced 13 points, 63 shots on net, 32 hits, 25 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 34 appearances. Should Pinto continue to see more ice time, his production will likely keep improving in the second half of the campaign.

Senators' Jake Sanderson: Posts helper Sunday
Sanderson notched an assist, three shots on goal, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Stars.
Sanderson has earned three helpers over his last four games. This was his first point at even strength since Dec. 21 versus the Canucks, when he had a goal and two assists. The defenseman continues to play a massive role for the Senators, racking up two goals, 22 assists, 87 shots on net, 85 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating over 42 outings this season.

Senators' Claude Giroux: Snags assist in Sunday's win
Giroux produced an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Stars.
Giroux helped out on Tim Stutzle's go-ahead goal in the second period. After a recent four-game point drought, Giroux racked up four assists during this weekend's back-to-back set. He's now at nine goals, 19 helpers, 81 shots on net, 38 hits and a plus-5 rating over 42 appearances this season. Giroux's offense remains strong at age 37, and he's unlikely to falter too much while playing in a top-six role.

Senators' Drake Batherson: Generates assist in win
Batherson recorded an assist in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Stars.
Batherson has a goal and an assist over his last two contests following a four-game point drought. He set up a Josh Norris tally in the second period of Sunday's victory. Batherson continues to add strong offense with a physical edge, earning 38 points, 90 shots on net, 66 hits and a minus-3 rating through 42 outings this season in a top-six role.

Senators' Matthew Highmore: Gets first goal of season
Highmore scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Stars.
Highmore has played in the last two games in place of Noah Gregor (lower body). The 28-year-old Highmore's tally Sunday was his second career game-winning goal. He has never exceeded 12 points or 46 games played in an NHL campaign, so fantasy managers likely won't need to turn to him at any point in 2024-25.

Senators' Josh Norris: Scores in Sunday's win
Norris scored a goal on four shots, doled out seven hits and added two PIM in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Stars.
Norris ended a five-game goal drought with the second-period tally, which tied the contest at 1-1. He has been limited to two points over six outings in January. The center's slowdown on offense is a bit concerning even though he's maintained a prominent role in the Senators' lineup. He's contributed 15 goals, nine assists, 83 shots, 112 hits, 28 PIM and a minus-10 rating over 42 appearances this season.

Senators' Tim Stutzle: Tallies again Sunday
Stutzle scored a goal and added two hits in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Stars.
This was Stutzle's second game in a row with a goal after going five contests without one. The 22-year-old put the Senators ahead 2-1 in the second period. He's gone 14 games without a multi-point effort, earning four goals, three assists and 28 shots on net in that span. For the season, the center is at 14 goals, 43 points, 84 shots, 70 hits and a plus-6 rating over 43 appearances.

Senators' Leevi Merilainen: Wins again Sunday
Merilainen stopped 24 of 26 shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Stars.
Merilainen started both halves of a back-to-back this weekend and won both games. It's telling that the Senators trusted a 22-year-old goalie, making just his eighth career appearance, more than Anton Forsberg despite the crowded part of the schedule. Merilainen has delivered when called upon this season, going 4-2-0 with a 2.34 GAA and a .913 save percentage while often facing moderately tough opponents. This was also his first home outing in 2024-25. The Senators have not revealed their goaltending plans for Tuesday's road game versus the Islanders at this time.
