Senators' Nick Holden: Finds twine Saturday
Nick Holden scored a goal in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Canucks.Holden tallied his second goal of the campaign at 15:44 of the third period. The 35-year-old's offense has found a new level lately, as he has three points over his last two games while working on the third pairing with Jakob Chychrun. It's unlikely to lead to power-play time for Holden, but the defenseman seems to have an edge over Erik Brannstrom to stay in the lineup. Holden has 15 points, 56 shots on net, 67 hits, 56 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 54 appearances.

Senators' Nick Holden: Out with undisclosed injury
Nick Holden will not play against the Islanders on Tuesday after suffering an undisclosed injury, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.Holden is not exactly an offensive dynamo considering he hasn't scored in 41 straight games, though he notched eight assists over that stretch. The blueliner's primary fantasy value will come in formats that value defensive stats, like hits and blocks, limiting him to a mid-range option. With Holden out of action, the Sens are expected to call up Jacob Larsson from the minors.

Senators' Nick Holden: Strong effort in loss
Nick Holden recorded an assist to complement a pair of hits and blocked shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Capitals.Holden is a defenseman averaging only 16:22 of ice time, so this severely limits his fantasy prospects. He'd been on the radar following a 34-point season with the Rangers in 2016-17, but that's been the ceiling for the journeyman between six different teams and 12 years of NHL service time.
