Senators' Josh Norris: Tallies in Tuesday's loss
Norris scored a goal on two shots, doled out four hits, added four PIM and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Oilers.
Norris has scored four times and added an assist over the last five games. The only time he was held off the scoresheet in that span was in Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Hurricanes. The 25-year-old center is doing well in a top-six role, racking up eight goals, five assists, 33 shots on net, 46 hits, 16 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 18 contests this season. Center is a deep position in fantasy, but Norris offers enough well-rounded production to be worth a look in most formats.

Senators' Tim Stutzle: Gets goal but in quiet stretch
Stutzle scored a goal in a 5-2 loss to the Oilers on Tuesday.
Stutzle tied the game 1-1 at 15:40 of the first period with a one-timer from the left hash marks off a pass from Drake Batherson from behind the net. His game has quieted over his last five (two goals, one assist) after ringing up 19 points in his first 15 games. But sometimes that happens for snipers like Stutzle -- there will be quiet stretches between big explosions. We're not worried.

Senators' Linus Ullmark: Needs to shake loss off fast
Ullmark made 26 saves in a 5-2 loss to the Oilers on Tuesday.
It wasn't his best game, to say the least. The Oilers picked Ullmark and the Sens apart Tuesday night. Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and Evan Bouchard all had three-point games. Overall, Ullmark is 4-5-1 with a 2.99 GAA and an .884 save percentage. That's a far cry from his excellent stats from his Boston days, but the Bruins team structure really helped there. Shake this off, and get him back in your lineup as you'd normally use him.

Senators' Nick Jensen: Bags two apples in loss
Jensen picked up two assists Tuesday in a 5-2 loss to Edmonton.
He's not much of a fantasy scorer -- his best season came in 2022-23 when he scored five goals and added 24 assists in 77 games with the Caps. So this was a nice one-off for the defender. Jensen usually gets under the skin of opponents, which he did Tuesday. Vasily Podkolzin rubbed him into the boards in the second and rode him right into the stanchion by the Oilers bench. Jensen left and returned for the third.

Senators' Noah Gregor: Ruled out against Edmonton
Gregor (undisclosed) will remain on the shelf versus the Oilers on Tuesday, Claire Hanna of TSN reports.
Gregor will be sidelined for his second straight contest due to his undisclosed injury. Prior to getting hurt, the 26-year-old center wasn't offering the team much offensively with just one point in his prior seven outings. During that stretch, the Alberta native chipped in 12 hits, 10 shots and four blocks while averaging 12:29. Given his limited offensive upside, Gregor's absence is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy players.

Senators' Linus Ullmark: In goal Tuesday
Ullmark will get the starting nod at home versus the Oilers on Tuesday, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.
Ullmark will look to bounce back from a disappointing matchup with the Flyers his last time out in which he gave up five goals on 19 shots (.737 save percentage). After that poor performance, the 31-year-old netminder was given the night off versus Carolina on Saturday in favor of Anton Forsberg. If Ullmark continues to struggle, he could be in danger of losing the No. 1 job in Ottawa.

Senators' Noah Gregor: Sporting non-contact sweater
Gregor took the ice Tuesday in a non-contact sweater, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports, raising doubts regarding his availability versus Edmonton.
Gregor was out of the lineup versus Carolina on Saturday and appears to be dealing with an injury rather than being a healthy scratch. At this point, if he's not cleared for contact, Gregor almost certainly won't be an option against Edmonton, though he hasn't been officially ruled out yet.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Receives no help in loss
Forsberg allowed three goals on 27 shots in Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Hurricanes. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Forsberg didn't get any help Saturday, taking his third loss in four starts, though his one win in that span was a shutout. The 31-year-old netminder has two shutouts on the year, but he's given up at least three goals in every other outing. He's now 3-4-0 with a 2.76 GAA and a .903 save percentage through eight contests this season. Forsberg remains in the backup role behind Linus Ullmark, though the former should draw a start roughly once a week, even when there are no back-to-back sets to deal with.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Set to start Saturday
Forsberg is expected to start in Saturday's road tilt versus Carolina, per Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal.
Forsberg stopped 21 of 24 shots en route to a 4-2 loss to the Islanders in his last start Nov. 7. He's 3-3-0 with a 2.72 GAA and a .905 save percentage in seven appearances in 2024-25. Carolina figures to be a tough adversary -- the Hurricanes rank fourth offensively with 4.00 goals per game.

Senators' David Perron: Good to go Saturday
Perron (personal) will play Saturday against the Hurricanes, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
Perron hasn't played since Oct. 19, as he's been away from the team to deal with a personal matter. The veteran winger will likely return to a bottom-six role with the Senators. Perron averaged 13:26 through five games earlier this year without recording a point.

Senators' Travis Hamonic: Gets on scoresheet with helper
Hamonic notched an assist in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Flyers.
The assist, which came on a Brady Tkachuk goal in the first period, was Hamonic's first point of the campaign. What he's lacked in offense, he's made up for in blocked shots, tallying 33 of them over 16 contests. Hamonic has added 22 hits, 22 shots on net, six PIM and a minus-7 rating. The 34-year-old appears to have the upper hand for the last spot on the blue line over Jacob Bernard-Docker, but Hamonic's lack of offense severely limits his fantasy value.

Senators' Thomas Chabot: Supplies two assists
Chabot notched two assists, three shots on goal and two PIM in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Flyers.
Chabot set up third-period tallies by Josh Norris and Adam Gaudette, with the latter's goal coming on the power play. With five helpers over his last four contests, Chabot is providing steady offense from the blue line. The 27-year-old defenseman is up to 11 points (two on the power play), 43 shots on net, 34 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 16 outings this season. He's topped the 50-point mark just once over his first seven campaigns, but that's a plausible level for him if he can avoid injuries in 2024-25. He's never exceeded 71 games played in season.

Senators' Adam Gaudette: Strikes on power play
Gaudette scored a power-play goal on three shots and added two hits in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Flyers.
Gaudette had six goals over a five-game span from Oct. 25 to Nov. 2, but he had since gone four contests without a point. That hot stretch has helped him earn a steady role in the Senators' bottom six and on the second power-play unit, but it was well above his usual level of production. The 28-year-old center is up to seven goals, one assist, 24 shots on net, 12 hits, six PIM and a plus-2 rating over 15 outings this season. Gaudette is unlikely to repeat his 33-point campaign from 2019-20, but he's in a good position to top the 20-point mark for the first time since that season.

Senators' Brady Tkachuk: Pots goal Thursday
Tkachuk scored a goal on four shots, added five hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Flyers.
Tkachuk has six points over seven games in November. He was a bit more explosive on offense in October, but the steady scoring production is a good thing for the power winger, who has sustained a point-per-game pace in just one of his first six campaigns. This season, he's at nine goals, 10 helpers, 66 shots on net, 68 hits, 27 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 16 outings so far.

Senators' Drake Batherson: Power-play goal in overtime loss
Batherson scored a power-play goal on four shots in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Flyers.
Batherson extended his point streak to four games (two goals, two assists) with the second-period tally. The winger has earned three of his points in that span with the man advantage, and he now has seven power-play points on the year. The 26-year is up to seven goals, nine helpers, 38 shots on net, 27 hits and a minus-1 rating across 16 appearances in a top-six role.

Senators' Josh Norris: Two points in overtime loss
Norris scored a goal on four shots, dished an assist, added two PIM and logged two hits in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Flyers.
Norris has scored in three straight games and has four points and eight shots in that span. The 25-year-old center has looked good since moving up to the top line in a swap of spots with Tim Stutzle, especially considering Norris was stuck in a four-game dry spell prior to the switch. Norris has seven goals, five helpers, 31 shots on net, 38 hits, 16 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 16 appearances this season.
