Senators' Drake Batherson: Helps out on both goals in win
Batherson recorded a pair of assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Red Wings.
Batherson and Josh Norris were clicking on the top line, as the winger assisted on both of his center's goals. During his eight-game point streak, Batherson has two goals, nine helpers, 16 shots on net and 17 hits. He's returning high-end value in a prominent role for the Senators. Batherson is at nine goals, 18 helpers, 54 shots, 45 hits, 10 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 25 appearances, and 12 of his 27 points have come on the power play.

Senators' Linus Ullmark: Strong showing Thursday
Ullmark stopped 19 of 20 shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Red Wings.
Ullmark has come out on top in two of his last three starts, going 2-0-1 with a 2.27 GAA and a .925 save percentage in the process. That's a clear step in the right direction compared to the numbers he was posting, as he endured a four-game losing streak in mid-November, going 0-3-1 with a 4.27 GAA and a woeful .835 save percentage between Nov. 14 and Nov. 23.

Senators' Josh Norris: Nets brace Thursday
Norris recorded two goals, a plus-2 rating, two PIM, five shots, two hits and one blocked shot in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Red Wings.
Norris played a hero role for the Senators in this low-scoring affair, finding twine midway through the first period and scoring the game-winner with only 43 seconds left in the final frame. The 25-year-old playmaker has struggled with consistency of late, but he remains a productive player while anchoring Ottawa's first line. He's notched five goals and two assists across his last 10 appearances.

Senators' Nikolas Matinpalo: Out Thursday
Matinpalo isn't expected to play Thursday versus Detroit because of an illness.
Matinpalo, who was called up from AHL Belleville on Tuesday, hasn't made his NHL season debut. He has two goals and six points in 17 appearances with Belleville in 2024-25. If he's healthy in time for Saturday's tilt against Nashville, then he might get a shot on the third pairing.

Senators' Linus Ullmark: Slated to start Thursday
Ullmark is expected to defend the home crease versus Detroit on Thursday, according to Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia.
Ullmark is 1-3-2 over his last six starts, giving the 31-year-old a 5-7-2 record with a 3.06 GAA and an .888 save percentage this season. Ullmark will face the Red Wings, who are averaging 2.60 goals per game.

Senators' Nikolas Matinpalo: Dealing with illness
Matinpalo is battling an illness Wednesday, per Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia.
The timing is particularly unfortunate for Matinpalo, who was recalled from AHL Belleville on Tuesday. Matinpalo wasn't guaranteed to draw into the lineup Thursday versus Detroit to begin with, but now it's possible that he'll end up not even being an option. He has two goals and six points in 17 outings with Belleville in 2024-25. The 26-year-old hasn't played in the NHL this campaign.

Senators' David Perron: Absence likely to linger
Perron (upper body) is not expected back in the short term, per TSN 1200 Ottawa on Tuesday.
Perron has already been out of action for four games due to his upper-body injury and is a strong candidate for injured reserve should the Senators decide they need the roster spot. Limited to just nine games this season, the veteran winger has yet to record a point despite 25 shots on goal.

Senators' Nikolas Matinpalo: Promoted from minors
Matinpalo was elevated from AHL Belleville on Tuesday.
Matinpalo has been putting up decent numbers in the minors this season, registering two goals and four assists in 17 games for Belleville. The 26-year-old Finn will trade places with Donovan Sebrango, who was reassigned to the minors in a corresponding move. Even with his promotion, Matinpalo is far from a lock to suit up versus Detroit on Thursday.

Senators' Donovan Sebrango: Returning to minors
Sebrango was reassigned to AHL Belleville on Tuesday.
Sebrango will switch places with fellow blueliner Nikolas Matinpalo, who was called up in a corresponding move. With the Senators off until Thursday's clash with Detroit, it's possible the pair will once again trade places -- though Sebrango didn't appear in any games during his stint in the NHL, instead serving exclusively as a healthy scratch.

Senators' Nick Jensen: Puts up helper Sunday
Jensen provided an assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Ducks.
Jensen forced a turnover and quickly started the transition up the ice, leading to Brady Tkachuk's second goal of the game. The helper ended a five-game point drought for Jensen, though offense is not his primary purpose on the Senators' second pairing. The 34-year-old blueliner has a goal, eight assists, 34 shots on net, 31 hits, 23 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating over 24 outings in a shutdown role.

Senators' Michael Amadio: Registers assist in shootout loss
Amadio notched an assist in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Ducks.
Amadio snapped an eight-game point drought with the helper on Nick Cousins' third-period tally. The 28-year-old Amadio opened the season in a slump of equal length, so he hasn't been the most reliable depth scorer in a bottom-six role. He's at two goals, three assists, 27 shots on net, 25 hits, 12 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 24 appearances while averaging 14:00 of ice time.

Senators' Thomas Chabot: Records assist Sunday
Chabot produced an assist and four shots on goal in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Ducks.
Chabot has a helper in each of the last two games after going six contests without a point. He relayed a puck up to Brady Tkachuk on a breakaway for a tally early in the second period. Chabot has 13 points, 59 shots on net, 43 blocked shots, 19 hits and a plus-5 rating over 24 appearances, holding steady in a second-pairing role.

Senators' Drake Batherson: Logs power-play assist Sunday
Batherson notched a power-play assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Ducks.
Batherson has two goals and seven assists during his seven-game point streak. He's earned five power-play points over his last five contests as well, providing a little extra boost on offense. The winger has been effective in a top-six role this season with 25 points, 52 shots, 45 hits and a minus-3 rating across 24 appearances. Batherson's a safe fantasy play as long as he keeps operating above a point-per-game pace with lofty totals in shots and hits.

Senators' Tim Stutzle: Keeps streak going with assist
Stutzle notched a power-play assist, two shots on goal, two hits and three blocked shots in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Ducks.
Stutzle has three goals and six helpers during a seven-game point streak, and he's earned at least one power-play point in three of his last four games. The 22-year-old set up one of Brady Tkachuk's goals Sunday. Stutzle has been dynamic in a top-line role in 2024-25, earning 10 goals, 20 helpers, 51 shots on net, 47 hits, 20 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 24 appearances.

Senators' Nick Cousins: Finds twine in shootout loss
Cousins scored a goal, added four PIM and recorded two hits in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Ducks.
Cousins returned from a two-game stint as a healthy scratch, replacing Cole Reinhardt in the lineup. The tally ended a 10-game drought for Cousins, and it tied the game at 3-3 just 1:09 after Frank Vatrano put the Ducks ahead in the third period. The 31-year-old Cousins has been little more than a fourth-liner with limited upside this season, though he saw 14:08 of ice time in a third-line role Sunday. He's at two goals, five points, 30 shots on net, 32 hits, 16 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 22 outings, but he'll need to score more frequently to be in the conversation for fantasy.

Senators' Brady Tkachuk: Relentless on offense Sunday
Tkachuk scored two goals on 12 shots and blocked two shots in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Ducks.
Tkachuk accounted for nearly 40 percent of the Senators' 31 shots. He cashed in once on the power play and once at even strength while extending his point streak to five games (four goals, four assists). The 12 shots matched a season high for the winger, who is known to put a lot of pucks toward the net. He's up to 13 goals, 28 points (11 on the power play), 103 shots, 99 hits, 50 PIM, 15 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 24 appearances.

Senators' Linus Ullmark: Loses in shootout
Ullmark stopped 32 of 35 shots in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Ducks.
Ullmark has just one win in his last six games (1-3-2), and he's given up at least three goals in all of them. The Ducks weren't good at protecting leads Sunday, and the Senators never offered Ullmark the chance to do so, though they were quick to respond each time they fell behind. The 31-year-old netminder dropped to 5-7-2 with a 3.07 GAA and an .889 save percentage over 15 outings this season. Ullmark and Anton Forsberg have alternated starts over the last five games. It's unclear if that pattern will hold, but the Senators have another back-to-back next weekend, so both goalies should see action over the next seven days.
