Amadio scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Maple Leafs.
This was Amadio's second straight game with a goal. He's earned all four of his points this season over the last seven contests. The 28-year-old remains in a third-line role, and he's seeing time on the second power-play unit, though he has yet to earn a point with the man advantage. Amadio has added 21 shots on net, 17 hits and 10 PIM through 15 appearances. If Amadio can sustain a better scoring pace, he could help fantasy managers in deeper formats.

Senators' Michael Amadio: Nets equalizer Saturday
Rotowire
Amadio scored a goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Bruins.
The goal was Amadio's first as a Senator. The 28-year-old tied the game at 2-2 late in the second period.

He's added 19 shots on net, 15 hits, 10 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 14 appearances while filling a third-line role. Amadio isn't a grinding checker, but he can throw the body a bit while chipping in depth scoring.

Senators' Michael Amadio: Puts up helper in win
Rotowire
Amadio logged an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Kraken.
Amadio has two helpers this season, and he's earned both of them over the last three games. The 28-year-old forward continues to fill a middle-six role, and he's started to receive more power-play time, though he's yet to record a point with the man advantage. He's added 16 shots on net, 11 hits, six blocked shots, six PIM and a minus-1 rating through 11 appearances. Amadio can unlock a bit more offense than this -- he had 27 points in each of the last two regular seasons with Vegas.

Senators' Michael Amadio: First point with new team
Rotowire
Amadio recorded an assist, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 8-1 win over the Blues.
The helper was Amadio's first point in nine outings this season, as his Senators tenure has gotten off to a slow start. The 28-year-old has added 13 shots on net, nine hits, five blocked shots and a minus-3 rating. He's primarily playing in a middle-six role and occasionally features on the second power-play unit, but he'll likely need to show more on offense to get better assignments, so fantasy managers can wait and see how Amadio progresses this season.

Rotowire
Amadio signed a three-year, $7.8 million contract with Ottawa on Monday.
Amadio accounted for 14 goals, 27 points and 117 shots on net across 73 regular-season contests with Vegas in 2023-24. The 28-year-old forward will likely serve as a bottom-six forward for the Senators, which will be his second stint with the team after a five-game stay with Ottawa in 2020-21.

Golden Knights' Michael Amadio: Enters lineup, scores goal
Rotowire
Amadio scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Stars in Game 4.
Amadio was scratched for the first three games of the playoffs, but he drew in over Anthony Mantha in this contest. The 27-year-old Amadio was able to cash in a goal, but the rest of the Golden Knights' offense mostly struggled. He produced 14 goals, 27 points, 117 shots on net and a plus-4 rating over a career-high 73 appearances in the regular season, but there's no guarantee Amadio will remain in the lineup consistently moving forward.

Golden Knights' Michael Amadio: Finds twine Tuesday
Rotowire
Amadio scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.
Amadio returned from a two-game absence as a scratch and scored the game-winner Tuesday. He's been limited to two goals over his last 16 games, leaving his spot in the lineup very much in doubt for the playoffs.

Golden Knights' Michael Amadio: Pots equalizer Saturday
Rotowire
Amadio scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Wild.
Amadio snapped a 10-game point drought at a great time, tying the contest with 6:17 left in the third period. The 27-year-old forward has remained in a middle-six role at even strength amid his slump. He's at 26 points, 109 shots on net, 44 hits, 33 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 67 contests, nearly identical numbers to his 27-point campaign in 2022-23. Without a power-play role, Amadio is tough to roster in fantasy.

Golden Knights' Michael Amadio: Nets lone goal in loss
Rotowire
Amadio scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Canucks.
Amadio remained productive even with the Golden Knights debut of Anthony Mantha in a top-six role. Amadio has six goals and two assists over his last 11 outings while often playing up the lineup as the Golden Knights have battled injuries. The 27-year-old forward is up to 12 goals, 25 points, 92 shots on net and a plus-4 rating through 56 appearances. His scoring rate could drop if he remains on the third line through the end of the regular season.

Amadio has a point in seven of the last 10 games, earning five goals and two assists in that span. He helped out on a Chandler Stephenson tally in the third period. The 27-year-old Amadio is tracking toward a career year with 24 points, 89 shots on net, 38 hits, 30 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 55 appearances. He should continue to see middle-six minutes and some power-play time while the Golden Knights wait to welcome back some injured forwards.

Rotowire
Amadio logged an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
Amadio set up Ivan Barbashev on the opening goal midway through the second period. The helper was Amadio's first since Dec. 19, though he also scored five goals in the 19 games between assists. The 27-year-old forward has 22 points, 81 shots on net, 35 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 52 appearances.

Rotowire
Amadio scored a goal on five shots and added two hits in Thursday's 7-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Amadio has four goals over his last five games, giving him 10 tallies on the season. It's a strong scoring run for the 27-year-old, who continues to see middle-six minutes but should also feature more regularly on the power play while Mark Stone (upper body) is out.

He's scored in three of the last four games, raising his scoring total to nine goals and 20 points through 49 outings overall. The center has added 71 shots on net and a plus-6 rating. He was listed on the fourth line Tuesday, but Amadio has more often filled a middle-six assignment this season.

Golden Knights' Michael Amadio: Nets power-play marker
Rotowire
Amadio scored a power-play goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Wild.
Amadio snapped a nine-game point drought with his first-period tally. He's earned six power-play points this season, but he's seen little time with the man advantage since the start of January. Amadio is at seven goals, 18 points, 66 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through 46 outings. While he was on the second line Monday, he'll likely drop back to the bottom six when the team is healthier -- an illness is working its way through the locker room.

Golden Knights' Michael Amadio: Off injured reserve
Rotowire
Amadio (upper body) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.
Amadio missed Vegas' past five games because of the injury. He has six goals, 17 points and 58 shots over 42 outings in 2023-24. Amadio will likely serve in a bottom-six capacity in his return to the lineup, and Byron Froese might be a healthy scratch Saturday versus Detroit.

Golden Knights' Michael Amadio: Could be activated Saturday

Amadio (upper body) has reportedly been cleared to return ahead of Saturday's game versus the Red Wings, Chris Chapman of Fox Sports Las Vegas reports.

Golden Knights' Michael Amadio: Placed on injured reserve
Rotowire
Amadio (upper body) was put on injured reserve Friday, per Jesse Granger of The Athletic.
The move is presumably retroactive to Monday, which is when Amadio last played. That would enable Amadio to be activated for Tuesday's contest against the Islanders, provided he's healthy by that time. The 27-year-old has six goals and 17 points in 42 contests in 2023-24. When Amadio is available, he'll likely serve in a bottom-six capacity.

Golden Knights' Michael Amadio: Ruled out against Rangers
Rotowire
Amadio will miss Thursday's clash with the Rangers due to an upper-body injury, Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Amadio is currently stuck in a six-game pointless streak during which he's managed just three shots. In fact, the Ontario native has just one goal in his last 15 contests, so few fantasy players are likely to be impacted by his absence. The Knights are expected to recall a forward from the minors, possibly Grigori Denisenko or Jonas Rondbjerg, rather than deploying seven defensemen against New York.
