Senators' Zack Ostapchuk: Back with big club
Ostapchuk was recalled from AHL Belleville on Monday.

Senators' Adam Gaudette: Grabs helper Saturday
Gaudette produced an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Penguins.
Gaudette has a goal and two assists over his last five contests. He's started to see ice time more in line with his current second-line role as well, topping 13 minutes in three of the last four games. The 28-year-old forward is up to 16 points, 39 shots on net, 26 hits and a plus-4 rating over 29 outings as a pleasant surprise in the depth-scoring department for the Senators.

Senators' Claude Giroux: Secures assist in overtime win
Giroux produced an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Penguins.
Giroux has been a little choppy on offense lately, picking up two points over his last eight outings. The 36-year-old forward is up to seven goals, 12 helpers, 58 shots on net, 29 hits and a plus-2 rating over 30 contests. The bulk of his production has come from a pair of point streaks, and his colder stretches make it tough to keep Giroux in fantasy lineups on a regular basis.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Won't travel with Sens
Forsberg (undisclosed) won't travel with the Senators on their upcoming road trip and remains without a timeline for return, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.
The Senators will be without their backup netminder as they start a nine-game road trip Tuesday in Seattle. Leevi Merilainen was recalled from AHL Belleville to serve as Linus Ullmark's backup in Forsberg's absence.

Senators' Zack Ostapchuk: Sent to minors
Ostapchuk was loaned to AHL Belleville on Sunday.
Ostapchuk has two assists and 34 hits in 16 NHL appearances this season. His demotion to the minors is presumably for salary cap reasons. If that is the case, Ostapchuk will likely accompany Ottawa on the team's four-game road trip before the holiday break.

Senators' Leevi Merilainen: Brought up from minors
Merilainen was recalled from AHL Belleville on Sunday.
Merilainen will accompany Ottawa on the team's four-game road trip before the holiday break. Anton Forsberg (undisclosed) didn't make his scheduled start against Pittsburgh on Saturday after suffering an injury while warming up for the game. With Forsberg staying behind for the trip, Linus Ullmark will likely see an increased workload.

Senators' Thomas Chabot: Two points in OT win
Chabot recorded a goal and an assist in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Penguins.
Chabot broke the deadlock midway through the first period with a slap shot following setups from Claude Giroux and Adam Gaudette, and he later delivered an assist in Drake Batherson's third-period strike. This was Chabot's first multi-point performance since he recorded two helpers in the 5-4 win over the Flyers on Nov. 14. The 27-year-old is up to 15 points, 70 shots, 25 hits and 51 blocked shots across 30 games this season.

Senators' Drake Batherson: Nets goal Saturday
Batherson scored a goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Penguins.
Batherson scored for the fourth time over his last three appearances, as he notched a natural hat trick in the 5-1 win over the Ducks on Dec. 11. He's cracked the scoresheet in five of seven December contests, recording nine points (four goals, five helpers) in that stretch. The 26-year-old might not be one of the Senators' most consistent players, but he's trending in the right direction and should continue to find ample opportunities to produce due to his role on the first line and the first power-play unit.

Senators' Brady Tkachuk: Scores game-winning goal
Tkachuk scored the game-winning goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Penguins.
As has often been the case this season, Tkachuk came through when Ottawa needed him the most. The star forward netted the game-winning goal just 1:46 into overtime, taking advantage of a set-up from Jake Sanderson to drill a wrister past Tristan Jarry. Tkachuk has two goals over his last three games, but his game-to-game consistency hasn't been there of late, with the 25-year-old failing to score in three of his last five appearances. Even if that stretch can be classified as a down period, the star winger remains highly productive with 32 points (15 goals, 17 assists) in 30 games this season.

Senators' Linus Ullmark: Extends winning streak Saturday
Ullmark stopped 25 of 27 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Penguins.
Ullmark has been outstanding in recent weeks, and the 31-year-old extended his winning streak to five games with another excellent display in the Senators' crease. Winning run aside, Ullmark has posted a save percentage above the .900 mark in his last seven outings, going 6-0-1 with an elite 1.55 GAA and a .950 save percentage in that stretch. The Swede has been one of the best goaltenders in fantasy since the beginning of December.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Likely to miss time
Forsberg's undisclosed injury that he sustained Saturday is bad enough that the Senators will need to recall a goaltender from AHL Belleville, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.
Forsberg was hurt in the gym prior to the contest. He likely won't be ready for Tuesday's game in Seattle since the Senators are opting for a transaction, but the move hasn't been announced yet. If Forsberg is forced to miss a week or more, he could be placed on injured reserve.

Senators' Linus Ullmark: Expected to start Saturday
Ullmark is expected to start at home against Pittsburgh on Saturday, according to Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia.
Anton Forsberg won't make his scheduled start after suffering a minor injury before the pregame warmups. As a result, Ullmark will play for the second time in as many nights. He is coming off a 32-save shutout Friday versus Carolina. Ullmark has a 9-7-2 record, 2.55 GAA and .909 save percentage in 19 outings in 2024-25. Pittsburgh is tied for 17th in goals per game with 3.03.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Will not start after all
Forsberg won't start at home versus the Penguins as previously reported, with Linus Ullmark instead getting the nod, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports. The team later reported that Forsberg sustained a minor injury prior to the pregame warmup.
Per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet, Forsberg's absence will be covered by an emergency backup goaltender. Ullmark will start both halves of the Senators' back-to-back, while Forsberg will have to wait for another chance to end a skid that has seen him lose four of five starts with 16 goals allowed in that span.

Forsberg has lost four of his last five outings, giving up 16 goals on 116 shots in that span. The Penguins have turned things around recently, winning four of their last six games and scoring at least five goals in each of those victories.

Senators' Nick Cousins: Supplies two assists
Cousins logged two assists, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 3-0 win over the Hurricanes.
Cousins helped out on third-period tallies by Nick Jensen and Shane Pinto. The 31-year-old Cousins earned his second multi-point effort of the season, and he has four points over six games in December for his most productive month of the campaign. Overall, the veteran forward has eight points, 42 shots on net, 46 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-1 rating through 27 outings, primarily in a bottom-six role.
