Rotowire
Coburn has only played two games with the Islanders since being acquired at the trade deadline.
The Islanders traded for Coburn because they wanted an insurance policy in case one of their top six defenders got injured.

Senators' Braydon Coburn: Promoted to active roster
Rotowire
Coburn was reassigned to the active roster Monday.
Coburn's last game was Feb. 21 versus the Habs and it appears the 36-year-old blueliner will return to the lineup against Calgary on Monday. The Saskatchewan native figures to remain a fringe roster player and therefore won't offer much in the way of fantasy value.

Senators' Braydon Coburn: Heading north of border
Rotowire

The 35-year-old blueliner scored just four points in 40 games with Tampa Bay last season while filling a depth role. Coburn could see a slightly bigger role in Ottawa as a veteran leader for the defense, but still, he likely won't make much fantasy impact for standard leagues.

Lightning's Braydon Coburn: Finally back in lineup
Rotowire
Coburn has played in four consecutive games after spending considerable time as a healthy scratch.
Coburn is getting regular ice time with injuries to Tampa's back end. And he's contributing hits and blocked shots (nine and six, respectively, in his last four games). The veteran defender will turn 35 in a couple of weeks and is on the downside of his career, so he will likely return to the bench when the Bolts get healthy.
