| C | 1 | Matt Duchene  ActiveMatt Duchene is looking towards the future after the conclusion of a disappointing campaign. Duchene wanted to be traded and so was dealt from the Colorado Avalanche to the Ottawa Senators. On Saturday, Ottawa suffered a loss to Boston to wrap up a campaign where they fell far short of a playoff berth while Colorado won in the season finale to advance to the postseason. You have to wonder what Duchene was thinking about in light of that, but either way there's nothing he can do but move forward. "It’s fun to be able to look forward to next year but at the same time there’s a lot of lessons to be learned from this season," Duchene said. "You can’t just forget about it. All of us, to a man, can be better and it’s up to all of us to go home and figure out those things we have to do. Whether it’s making changes, keeping things going or whatever it’s, that’s the key for us now." Apr 8 |
| 2 | Jean-Gabriel Pageau ActiveJean-Gabriel Pageau scored a pair of goals in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Florida Panthers. Pageau opened the scoring 1:24 into the second period and his second tally of the night put the game to bed at the 4:44 mark of overtime (on a penalty shot). The Sens forward had a plus-2 rating and a game-high seven shots on goal in 20:13 of ice time. This was his first multi-goal game of 2017-18. The 25-year-old is up to 14 goals and 29 points in 73 games this season. Mangus Paajarvi also found the back of the net for the Senators on Thursday night. Mar 29 |
| LW | 1 | Mike Hoffman ActiveMike Hoffman collected three helpers in a 6-5 loss to Winnipeg on Monday night. Hoffman had the secondary assist on goals by Matt Duchene, Thomas Chabot and Christian Wolanin in the match. He only had two helper in his previous eight outings. Hoffman has 22 goals and 56 points through 79 games this year. Apr 3 |
| 2 | Zack Smith ActiveZack Smith is glad that he wasn't traded before Monday's deadline. "It was a relief. This is where we want to be. We love it in Ottawa. I think relief the easiest way to describe it," said Smith. "It's not necessarily a weight off the shoulders, but just the uncertainty of picking up and moving somewhere else." He still has another three years left on his contract after the 2017-18 campaign. Mar 1 |
| 3 | Ryan Dzingel ActiveRyan Dzingel probably won't be able to play at the IIHF World Championship. "I don't believe I'm going to go," said Dzingel. "My girlfriend is dealing with some health issues, it could be serious MS, and we're trying to figure that out right now. It's family first, and her first, and until we figure that out, I'm going to be with her and be with my family. The game always comes second to me, so I'm probably not going to go." He stated that he planned to speak with Team USA GM Bill Zito about the matter on Sunday. Apr 9 |
| 4 | Magnus Paajarvi ActiveMagnus Paajarvi scored a pair of goals in Monday's 5-3 win over Florida. This is Paajarvi's first multi-point performance of the season. He has registered four goals and one assist in 21 outings with the Senators since he was claimed off waivers from St. Louis. Paajarvi has produced just nine points in 65 contests this season. Mar 13 |
| 5 | Tom Pyatt ActiveTom Pyatt had a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 7-4 win over Tampa Bay. Pyatt recorded both of his points in the first period to give the Senators a 3-1 lead after the opening frame. He has three points in his last two outings and 20 points on the year. Mar 14 |
| 6 | Clarke MacArthur  I.L.Senators GM Pierre Dorion told TSN Radio 1200 on Tuesday that he doesn't expect Clarke MacArthur to play this season. MacArthur failed his medical at the start of training camp and he hasn't been talked about since. "He's moved to Florida, if I'm not mistaken," said Dorion. "And after failing that medical... You know what, if he wants to come back next year and try, we'd definitely look at it. Clarke was a big part of our playoff success, but I think health [and] family comes before hockey any day... I couldn't be responsible for allowing him to play after doctors said that he failed his medical." MacArthur was ruled out for 2016-17 because of concussion issues, but he managed to make a surprise return in April. That may not happen again this time, though. Nov 14 |
| RW | 1 | Mark Stone  SidelinedMark Stone's leg issue was apparently a high-ankle sprain. Stone suffered the injury March 9 against Calgary. He will miss his 14th straight game Friday night and won't play Saturday versus Boston either. "He's being shut down. He's not going to play," said coach Guy Boucher on Thursday. "He wasn't very comfortable and he tried his very best to come back right until the very end. It's not worth the risk, he's not 100 percent, so he's done." Apr 6 |
| 2 | Bobby Ryan ActiveBobby Ryan (lower body) thinks he'll be available on Friday. Ryan was hurt during Wednesday's contest, but it seems he won't miss a full game over the ailment. He has 11 goals and 33 points in 60 contests in 2017-18. Apr 5 |
| 3 | Alex Burrows ActiveAlex Burrows posted one goal and one assist in Wednesday's 4-2 win over Buffalo. Burrows' sixth goal of the season was an empty-netter. He finished the match with a plus-3 rating and four shots in 14:19 of ice time. Burrows has contributed a mere 14 points in 69 matches this season. Apr 5 |
| 4 | Marian Gaborik SidelinedMarian Gaborik underwent surgery for a herniated disk in his back. Gaborik could be able to start training fully in as little as eight weeks. That suggests that this surgery won't have much of an influence on his offseason training and he should be fine for the start of the 2018-19 campaign. Apr 5 |
| 5 | Max McCormick ActiveMax McCormick will be a healthy scratch in Thursday's game against the Buffalo Sabres. McCormick has two goals an two assists in 14 games this season. The 25-year-old is nothing more than a depth player on Ottawa's roster. Erik Burgdoerfer will also watch the game from the press box. Mar 8 |
| D | 1 | Erik Karlsson SidelinedOttawa GM Pierre Dorion said Tuesday night that Erik Karlsson will not be traded at the 2018 NHL Entry Draft. Dorion and Senators owner Eugene Melnyk met with about 300 season ticket holders. Dorion made his intentions known that the team plans to offer Karlsson an eight-year contract extension on July 1. He has one more season left on his current deal and it's unclear if the Senators will be able to give him what he wants. Apr 11 |
| 2 | Cody Ceci ActiveCody Ceci posted an assist with a minus-1 rating, two blocked shots and a hit in Dallas on Monday. Ceci registered just his 12th assist, and 17th point overall, across 65 contests this season. Most fantasy owners have him rostered for his value in the blocked shots (136) and hits (122) categories. He ranks just outside of the Top 10 in blocked shots, and is one of only eight NHL players with at least 120 blocks and hits this season. Mar 6 |
| 3 | Mark Borowiecki ActiveMark Borowiecki (neck strain) should be available to play Friday night. Coach Guy Boucher said the defenseman was pulled from the game as a precaution because of Borowiecki's past issues with concussions. "It's a neck thing and we just wanted to take a chance," Boucher said. "It's not a concussion, but we just want to make sure, with the history this year, that it's not something that's reoccurring. We just want to be cautious on that one. He wanted to come back. It was us saying, 'Let's on hold on here.'" He was hurt in a fight with Washington's Tom Wilson on Tuesday night. Mar 1 |
| 4 | Fredrik Claesson ActiveThe Ottawa Senators have decided to sit Fredrik Claesson tonight. Head coach is making some changes and it will include swapping Claesson for Erik Burgdoerfer. Mar 13 |
| 5 | Thomas Chabot ActiveThomas Chabot is excited to play for Canada at the upcoming IIHF World Championship. "It's not just Connor [McDavid], it's other guys in the lineup that may not be at Connor's level but they're still unreal players," said Chabot. "Being 21-years-old after my first season in the NHL and to get to play with other guys from the league and see what they do and learn about them is going to be special." Ottawa teammate Jean-Gabriel Pageau was also invited by Hockey Canada to compete in the tournament. Apr 25 |
| 6 | Chris Wideman SidelinedChris Wideman (hamstring) won't be back this season. "After consulting with Chris' surgeon, Dr. Bryan Kelly, his recommendation is that Chris needs more time to fully heal before being ready for game action, so we have made the decision that he will not play for the remainder of the season," said Ottawa GM Pierre Dorion. "We feel this is the best decision for Chris' long-term health. He will remain fully engaged with the club and work with our medical team to continue his treatment until he is medically cleared." Wideman had surgery to repair a torn hamstring back in November. He was hoping to play before the end of the season, but he will have to wait until next year. Mar 29 |
| 7 | Ben Harpur SidelinedBen Harpur suffered a separated shoulder in Friday's 4-0 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins. He obviously won't be available for Saturday's season finale against the Boston Bruins. The 23-year-old finishes the year with no goals, one assist and a minus-21 rating in 41 games this season. Apr 7 |
| G | 1 | Craig Anderson ActiveCraig Anderson allowed four goals on 23 shots in Friday's 4-0 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Anderson kept the Penguins off the board in the first period, but he allowed a pair of goals in the second and third frames. The 36-year-old has dropped two of his last three outings. He has a 23-25-6 record with a 3.32 goals-against-average and a .898 save percentage this season. Anderson isn't expected to start tomorrow night's season finale against Boston, so tonight may have been the last time we see him in 2017-18. Apr 6 |
| 2 | Mike Condon SidelinedMike Condon's upper-body injury is a concussion. Condon was hurt during Tuesday's practice. With less than a week left in the regular season, he probably won't play again in 2017-18. Apr 4 |
