Hamonic logged an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Devils.
Hamonic had an injury scare late in Thursday's game versus the Avalanche, but he was able to play a top-four role (20:12 of ice time) Saturday with no trouble. The 34-year-old defenseman also has three points over his last three outings, which follows a stretch of 17 contests without a point, a span in which he missed 13 games due to injury. He blocks a lot of shots, so injuries are part of the risk, one that's rarely worth it for fantasy managers. Hamonic is at six points, 70 shots on net, 86 blocks, 66 hits and a minus-15 rating over 55 appearances this season.
Greig logged a power-play assist in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Devils.
Greig has put up four points over his last five games. His offense hasn't been as flashy as some of his teammates' recent results, but Greig is taking care of business in a middle-six role. This was also his first power-play point since Feb. 4 against the Lightning. The 22-year-old forward is up to 25 points -- one shy of his 72-game output from a year ago -- and he's added 95 shots on net, 120 hits, 54 PIM and a minus-13 rating over 66 appearances.

Rotowire
Cozens logged an assist and three hits in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Devils.
Cozens continues to thrive on the Senators' second line -- he's up to three goals and four assists over eight contests with the team. His latest contribution was a primary helper on Drake Batherson's second-period tally. Cozens has 38 points, 159 shots on net, 179 hits, 42 blocked shots, 64 PIM and a minus-11 rating through 69 appearances between the Senators and the Sabres. The 24-year-old should be on your fantasy roster if you need help in points, shots or hits.

Senators' Claude Giroux: Notches power-play helper
Rotowire
Giroux logged a power-play assist and two blocked shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Devils.
Giroux's five-game point streak ended in a 5-1 loss to the Avalanche on Thursday, but it didn't take him long to bounce back. He's earned eight points over 11 outings in March, and four of those points have been on the power play. The 37-year-old forward is up to 45 points (15 on the power play), 126 shots on net, 54 hits, 34 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 69 appearances. While he was dropped to the third line Saturday, he led Ottawa forwards with 21:32 of ice time in a close game, so don't be too concerned about his usage just yet.

Sanderson is up to 48 points, 154 shots on net, 140 blocked shots and a minus-16 rating. While his defensive metrics were lacking earlier in the year, he's actually plus-2 in March, showing great improvement in that area while still being a strong source of offense and power-play production.

Senators' Tim Stutzle: Reaches 50-assist mark
Rotowire
Stutzle posted an assist in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Devils.
Stutzle reached the 50-assist mark for the third year in a row, and he's three away from a new personal best in the category. He helped out on Brady Tkachuk's opening tally in the second period. Stutzle has six helpers over his last eight outings, giving him 70 points, 131 shots on net, 105 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 69 appearances this season. This is also his third straight year of at least 70 points, and he could wind up with his second point-per-game campaign if he stays steady on offense.

Senators' David Perron: Strikes on power play in win
Rotowire
Perron scored a power-play goal and added three hits in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Devils.
Perron has gotten on the scoresheet in eight of 11 games in March. He's got five goals (two on the power play) and three assists in that span, though his last multi-point effort was Feb. 3 versus the Predators. The veteran winger's consistency is still admirable, and he's also playing with the Senators' trademark physicality as well. Perron has six goals, 12 points (five on the power play), 49 shots on net, 58 hits and a minus-4 rating through 31 appearances this season.

Senators' Brady Tkachuk: Scores in Saturday's win
Rotowire
Tkachuk scored a goal on three shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Devils.
Tkachuk is managing a nagging hip injury, and his ice time was down to 13:23 for Saturday's contest, his lowest total in a game this season. The 25-year-old has managed to stay productive in March with seven goals and three assists over his last 11 outings. The winger is up to 28 goals, 54 points, 274 shots on net, 217 hits, 114 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 67 appearances.
Ullmark stopped 25 of 27 shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Devils.
Ullmark ended a two-game slide in which he allowed eight goals on 33 shots. The Devils gave the Senators a scare with Erik Haula's tally late in the third period, but Ullmark was able to preserve the lead for his sixth win in eight outings. For the season, he's up to 19-13-3 with a 2.78 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 37 appearances. The Senators' next game is Tuesday versus the Sabres, and it wouldn't be surprising to see Ullmark between the pipes for that one as he continues to handle a large workload during the playoff push.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Needed in relief Thursday
Rotowire
Forsberg stopped 19 of 20 shots after replacing Linus Ullmark late in the first period of Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche.
The one puck to get past Forsberg came on a Colorado power play, and in general, the 32-year-old looked much sharper than Ullmark on the night. The Senators have been leaning very heavily on Ullmark as they try to secure a playoff spot -- Forsberg has made only one start since the 4 Nations Face-Off, although he's been needed in relief twice during that stretch -- but they may have to split the workload a little more evenly over the final weeks. Over his last 10 appearances dating back to Jan. 19, Forsberg has gone 5-2-0 with a 2.18 GAA and a .919 save percentage.

Senators' Linus Ullmark: Gets hook in Thursday's loss
Rotowire
Ullmark gave up four goals on 13 shots before being replaced by Anton Forsberg late in the first period of Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche.
Nathan MacKinnon opened the scoring midway through the first frame by sneaking a quick shot through Ullmark's five-hole, and the netminder was never able to regain his footing. It was Ullmark's second straight loss after a 6-0-1 stretch, and his heavy workload as Ottawa pushes for a playoff spot may be catching up to him -- he's started 11 of 12 games since play resumed after the 4 Nations Face-Off, posting a 3.55 GAA and an .889 save percentage during that span.

Senators' Travis Hamonic: Leaves game in third period
Rotowire
Hamonic (undisclosed) did not finish Thursday's game versus the Avalanche, Julian McKenzie of The Athletic reports.
There was no update on Hamonic's status after the game, so his status for Saturday's game against the Devils is in doubt. If Hamonic can't play, Dennis Gilbert will likely draw into the lineup.
