Fantasy Impact: Florida will send a 2024 conditional fourth-round and 2025 conditional third-round pick to Ottawa in exchange for Tarasenko. The winger still possesses above-average finishing ability in the offensive zone and will make the high-scoring Florida forward group even deeper as the club looks to return the Stanley Cup Finals this postseason. Tarasenko has tallied 41 points (17 goals, 24 assists) in 57 games so far this season.

Fantasy Impact: Korpisalo makes his home debut against a Tampa Bay squad missing Steven Stamkos for the contest. The netminder will start the season as the No. 1 option between the pipes, splitting time with Anton Forsberg throughout the season.

Fantasy Impact: Forsberg will make his first start in net of the season in Ottawa’s home opener Saturday afternoon, with Senators No.1 netminder Joonas Korpisalo likely to start in net Sunday against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Fantasy Impact: DeBrincat’s acquisition by Red Wings general manager gives a club moving in the right direction a legitimate goal scorer to put alongside captain Dylan Larkin to fortify Detroit’s top line for the foreseeable future.

Cam Talbot allowed three goals on 29 shots faced in the Senators' 4-0 shutout loss to the Hurricanes.

Fantasy Impact: Talbot has struggled in the crease of late for the Senators, allowing three or more goals in seven of his last nine starts (3-6-0, .873 save percentage) for the club. The veteran netminder has flashed his ability to steal games at times despite struggles with consistency in the crease, carrying a 2.90 GAA and .905 save percentage in 29 appearances (12-14-1) between the pipes so far this season.

Claude Giroux registered three points for the Senators Saturday night, scoring two goals and picking up one assist in a 5-0 win over the Canadiens.

Fantasy Impact: Giroux has gotten hot of late for the Senators, picking up points in five of his last six games (four goals, five assists) for the club. The veteran forward has turned around his early-season struggles for fantasy owners, posting a 0.96 point per game average (19 goals, 28 assists) in 49 games so far this season.

Thomas Chabot was able to light the lamp for the Senators Friday night, scoring one goal in a 6-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

Fantasy Impact: Chabot has not been much of a factor in the offensive zone of late for the Senators, notching points in just three of his last 10 games (one goal, five assists) for the club. The 25-year-old has fought consistency issues for much of the season for fantasy owners, recording 26 points (eight goals, 18 assists) in 43 games so far this season.

Drake Batherson was able to find the back of the net for the Senators Friday night, scoring one goal in a 6-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

Fantasy Impact: Batherson has picked up points in five of his last 11 games for the Senators, scoring three goals and adding three assists in that span. The 24-year-old has turned around a slow start to the season for fantasy owners, scoring 15 goals and picking up 26 assists for 41 points in 48 games so far this season.

Tim Stutzle notched two assists in the Senators' 6-2 win over the Maple Leafs Friday night.

Fantasy Impact: Stutzle has picked up points in 11 of his last 16 games for the Senators, scoring 10 goals and adding eight assists in that span. The 21-year-old has been dynamic in the offensive zone for much of the season, registering 45 points (20 goals, 25 assists) in 44 games so far this season.

Brady Tkachuk was able to find the back of the net for the Senators Friday night, scoring two goals in a 6-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

Fantasy Impact: Tkachuk has now recorded points in six of his last 10 games for the Senators, scoring six goals and picking up five assists in that span. The 23-year-old forward has been fairly steady offensive option for fantasy owners to this point, posting a 1.02 point per game average (19 goals, 30 assists) in 48 games so far this season.

Jake Sanderson notched two assists Wednesday night in the Senators' 2-1 win over the Islanders.

Fantasy Impact: Sanderson has not been much of a factor of late in the offensive zone for the Senators, registering points in just three of his last 10 games (five assists) for the club. The 20-year-old blueliner has operated as more of a stay-at-home type of option to this point, scoring two goals and picking up 16 assists for 18 points in 47 games so far this season.

Josh Norris was able to light the lamp for the Senators Saturday, scoring the team's lone goal in a 5-1 loss to the Jets.

Fantasy Impact: Norris recorded a point for the first time in three games since returning from injury for the Senators, finding the back of the net midway through the first period to even the score at 1-1. The 23-year-old will look to be impactful moving forward and is worth monitoring for fantasy owners dealing with injury issues, scoring two goals and adding one assist for three points in eight games so far this season.

Connor Brown registered two assists and three shots on goal in 19:49 of ice time in a 3-1 win over Philadelphia.

Fantasy Impact: Brown now has 27 assists and 36 points in 47 games played this season. He's also contributed 93 shots on goal, 10 hits and 31 blocked shots.

Gustavsson was just plain bad in this one. The goalkeeper faced six shots total at the end of two periods, allowing a goal on every-other shot faced, falling behind 3-2. He then faced eight more shots in the third period, allowing another goal, before a Coyote empty-netter sealed the deal for a 5-3 home loss.

Fantasy Impact: Gustavsson stopped 10-of-14 shots for a dismal .714 save-percentage. The goalkeeper moves to 3-10-1 carrying an .896 save-percentage with a 3.66 goals-against-average.

Connor Brown started the scoring off at the 3:18 mark of the first period after a turnover by the Blackhawks, leading to a 2-on-1 situation where Brown buried it between the pipes off the assist from Alex Formenton. Thomas Chabot followed it up with a goal of his own to make it 2-0 Ottawa at the end of one period of play. The third and final Senator goal came at the 15:41 mark of the second period by Nick Paul, which ended up being an equalizer, as Chicago scored three unanswered goals of their own. The Blackhawks went on to win 6-3.

Fantasy Impact: The goal was Paul’s 11th of the season. The left winger followed his performance up with one block in 18:19 of ice time. He moves to 18 points in 57 games played.

Matt Murray stopped 17 shots in 22 games in a 5-2 loss to the Lightning. Four goals were scored even strength and one scored on the power play.

Fantasy Impact: Murray has lost five games in a row and is 5-11-2 on the season. With a 2.78 GAA and .915 save percentage, fantasy owners can find better options at goalie.

Alex Formenton collected his third assist of the season in a 8-2 win over the Panthers. He also had four SOG, two hits, and one block in 15:14 of ice-time.

Fantasy Impact: Formenton’s assist puts him at eight points in 23 games this season. He should remain on the waiver wire.

Tyler Ennis assisted on two goals in Thursday night's victory over the Carolina Hurricanes. Ennis added two shots on goal, two hits, and a blocked shot as well.

Fantasy Impact: Ennis has had a quiet season so far, with only 11 points in 19 games. Ennis will look to keep up his contributions Saturday night against the Colorado Avalanche.

Adam Gaudette scored a goal in his first career game for the Ottawa Sentors in their 6-2 loss to the Canucks on Wednesday. He was a minus two with one goal on one SOG in 8:20 of ice-time.

Fantasy Impact: The recently acquired Gaudette from the Blackhawk wasted no time to find twine with his new team. The problem is the back of the net is a stranger to him. He is filling in for some player currently on the IL and should soon be back to the AHL which he is more suited for.

Fantasy Impact: Pinto is likely back for the end for the season. Redraft formats should no longer hold on to him at this point.
