| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | Jason Spezza  ActiveJason Spezza will not play for Team Canada in the upcoming World Championship. Spezza expressed an interest in joining the squad, but they informed him that the roster was already full. He had 34 goals and 84 points in 80 games. Apr 28 |
| 2 | Kyle Turris ActiveKyle Turris is a player to focus in on in the late rounds of your fantasy pool draft. We expect the 23-year-old to be much better next season as he was not in the best shape due to his contract haggling with the Coytoes. Turris is planning a comprehensive training prgram this off-season and as a result we believe he will report to camp much stronger and in a better position to harness his vast amount of offensive talent. He is looking like a very solid sleeper pick to us. Apr 29 |
| 3 | Zack Smith ActiveZack Smith will play on the same line as Kyle Turris and Daniel Alfredsson on Friday. This is a great opportunity for Smith, who had been serving on the fourth line. Smith has just 25 points and 88 penalty minutes in 73 games, but he's worth keeping an eye on Friday. If the line works out in the Senators' upcoming contest, then Smith might have a bit of fantasy value in the final weeks of the season. Mar 23 |
| 4 | Jesse Winchester  SidelinedJesse Winchester remains out of action with an upper-body injury that is believed to be a concussion. He does not seem close to returning to action. Apr 22 |
| 5 | Jim O'Brien ActiveSenators coach Paul MacLean has been happy with Jim O'Brien since he was called up on Feb. 3. "Down the road right now is where he is right now," said MacLean. "That's where I would say at this point he's going to stay, in that third-, fourth-line centre spot, killing penalties. He's a right-handed centre, he can help us out." O'Brien netted his first career NHL goal on Wednesday. Feb 18 |
| 6 | Zenon Konopka ActiveZenon Konopka didn't take part in Thursday's optional morning workout, but he is expected to be available to play in Game 7 on Thursday night. Konopka didn't skate on Wednesday either. He has two assists in five games against the Rangers in the series and has been excellent on faceoffs with a league-leading 69.7 winning percentage on 66 total draws. Apr 26 |
| 7 | Peter Regin  I.L.Peter Regin has agreed to a one-year, one-way contract Friday. Regin would have been a restricted free agent. The financial terms haven't been disclosed, but he's probably not making much more than the $1,050,000 million he earned in 2011-12. He was limited to just four points in 10 games due to a shoulder injury. May 4 |
| LW | 1 | Milan Michalek ActiveMilan Michalek will not have a hearing and merely received a warning for giving a kick to the Rangers Dan Girardi during Monday's Game 6. Michalek has no history of discipline with the league and, unless you consider a warning something significant, it will stay that way. League czar Brendan Shanahan saw no need to penalize Michalek, though Girardi maintains his pant leg was cut. Apr 24 |
| 2 | Nick Foligno ActiveNick Foligno has notched a goal and an assist in two playoff games versus the New York Rangers. He posted a 0.57 points-per-game average during the regular season, so his postseason improvement is fairly noteworthy at this time. Foligno didn't have a shot in Game 1, while picking up an assist, but he was credited with three in Game 2 and is off to a strong start against the Blueshirts. Apr 16 |
| 3 | Colin Greening ActiveColin Greening scored his 16th goal of the season in a 3-1 loss Saturday. Filip Kuba and Jim O'Brien each registered an assist for Ottawa. Chris Phillips finished the game with five hits and four blocked shots. Mar 17 |
| 4 | Kaspar Daugavins ActiveKaspar Daugavins was able to play against the Ducks Saturday afternoon. He had injured his leg in Thursday's contest and his status for Saturday's contest was in doubt. Of course, Daugavins' fantasy value is limited as he played only 6:57, much of it while the Sens' were shorthanded. Jan 22 |
| 5 | Mike Hoffman ActiveMike Hoffman participated in Ottawa's morning skate and could dress in Game 4 against the Rangers on Wednesday night. Coach Paul MacLean said the team is "keeping all of our lineup options open," so he might play over Bobby Butler, who replaced injured captain Daniel Alfredsson in Game 3's 1-0 loss Monday. Hoffman joined the Senators at the end of the year, as a member of their Black Aces squad. Apr 18 |
| 6 | Rob Klinkhammer ActiveRob Klinkhammer recorded the first point of his NHL career on Thursday. Klinkhammer registered an assist on Kyle Turris' goal. Klinkhammer has 12 goals and 35 points in 35 AHL games this season. Mar 9 |
| RW | 1 | Daniel Alfredsson ActiveDaniel Alfredsson, who is still considering retirement, is taking this week off before beginning light workouts. "If I feel I have the desire and the will to go through with the workouts, and to push myself, then it’s a go and I’ll play," Alfredsson said. "If not, I’ll say I don’t have what it takes. I don’t think it’s fair for myself or anyone else to think that I just go through the summer so-so and then expect to play and be good." Alfredsson has one year left on his contract with the Ottawa Senators. May 25 |
| 2 | Bobby Butler ActiveBobby Butler made his NHL playoff debut in Monday's 1-0 Game 3 loss to the New York Rangers. He drew back into the lineup in the place of captain Daniel Alfredsson, who missed the game due to a concussion, after being scratched for the Senators' previous two playoff games and their last three contests of the regular season. Butler concluded the match with five shots and two hits Apr 17 |
| 3 | Chris Neil ActiveChris Neil scored a goal, but the Ottawa Senators fell to the New York Rangers in Game 6 on Monday night 3-2. Neil was in the middle of the action all night, as he also had a fighting major, was the recipient of a big hit by Michael Del Zotto in the third period and played a part in Jason Spezza's goal late in the game. It appeared as the puck was sent to the net by Spezza that Neil kicked it in, but the NHL ruled that he never touched it. Colin Greening, Sergei Gonchar and Nick Foligno had the assists. Apr 23 |
| 4 | Erik Condra ActiveErik Condra worked with Ottawa's top line during Wednesday's practice and he's expected to skate with Jason Spezza and Milan Michalek again on Thursday. "We'll see how it goes in practice the next couple of days and make a decision before the game (Friday against the New York Islanders)," said coach Paul MacLean. "Colin Greening is a big body, a good defensive conscience on that line and Condra also brings that. We're looking to find a way to get some offense. We're going to juggle it and see if we can get a spark." Condra has recorded seven goals and 18 points in 52 games, while Greening has 12 markers and 27 points in 53 contests this season. Feb 2 |
| 5 | Mark Stone ActiveMark Stone hasn't played in an AHL or NHL game yet, but he might make his debut in Game 5 of the first round on Friday. Senators coach Paul MacLean wouldn't rule out the possibility and Stone left the ice with the players that are projected to participate in Saturday's game. The players that are expected to be healthy scratches remained on the ice after the optional morning skate was complete. Stone had 41 goals and 123 points in 66 games with the WHL Brandon Wheat Kings this season. Apr 21 |
| D | 1 | Erik Karlsson ActiveWith the Erik Karlsson scheduled to become a restricted free agent this summer, Senators owner Eugene Melnyk warned that his team can't go "toe-to-toe" with the big markets. In other words, Karlsson will have to be "reasonable" with his contract demands. The question is, what's reasonable for a 21-year-old defenseman that is coming off a 78-point season? The Senators and Karlsson should be able to come to an agreement, but Karlsson will probably come with a cap hit in excess of $6 million next season. Apr 30 |
| 2 | Sergei Gonchar ActiveSergei Gonchar had a goal and four points in seven playoff contests. Gonchar successfully bounced back in 2011-12 after a disappointing 2010-11 campaign. His days of recording 50 or even 40 points per season are probably behind him, but he should still have some fantasy value next season. Apr 27 |
| 3 | Filip Kuba ActiveThe Ottawa Senators' 2-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens Friday night allowed them to leapfrog a point ahead of the Boston Bruins, vaulting them all the way to second in the Conference as the divisional leader, but defenseman Filip Kuba has a message for his teammates. "It feels great, obviously, to lead the division, but it was hard for us to get there and it’s going to be even harder to stay there," said Kuba, who scored the game-winning goal in overtime Friday night. "We know we’ve still got 10 games left in the regular season, so it’s pretty important for us to play strong and finish the season hard and that’s our biggest focus." Mar 17 |
| 4 | Chris Phillips ActiveChris Phillips will play Thursday despite breaking his nose in Tuesday's win over Tampa Bay. He logged just 4:01 of ice time against the Lightning before exiting the contest in the first period following a hit at center ice. Phillips will be sporting a bigger face shield for protection. The veteran blueliner has recorded 17 points, 107 hits, 118 blocks, and a plus-2 rating in 66 games this season. Mar 8 |
| 5 | Jared Cowen ActiveJared Cowen scored a goal and recorded three assists in a 6-4 win over Pittsburgh on Friday. That's almost equal to the number of points Cowen had in his previous 33 career NHL games. Jason Spezza was also remarkable with two goals and two assists for the Senators. Erik Karlsson registered three assists, giving him 29 points in 33 games this season. Daniel Alfredsson scored a goal and registered two assists. Colin Greening and Zenon Konopka accounted for the Senators' other two goals. Dec 16 |
| 6 | Matt Gilroy ActiveMatt Gilroy will play in Game 3 on Monday after spending Saturday's contest in the press box. The Senators were forced to make a lineup change because Matt Carkner is serving a on-game suspension. Gilroy had three goals and 20 points in 67 regular season games. Apr 16 |
| 7 | Matt Carkner ActiveMatt Carkner is projected to play Thursday night after missing Ottawa's last two practices. It's unclear what has been bothering the rugged blueliner, but he is slated to play in Game 7 regardless. Carkner has one assist and 21 penalty minutes in four playoff contests versus the Rangers. Apr 26 |
| G | 1 | Craig Anderson ActiveCraig Anderson made 27 saves, but it wasn't enough as the Ottawa Senators were sent home after their 2-1 loss to the New York Rangers in Game 7 on Thursday night. Anderson can't be blamed for this series loss, as the keeper finished with a 2.00 goals-against average and .933 save percentage, with the highlight coming on a 41-save shutout in Game 5. Looking ahead to next season, Anderson remains a fringe No. 2 netminder in fantasy leagues with the upside to be a little more - he's just tough to trust because he's very inconsistent. Apr 26 |
| 2 | Ben Bishop ActiveBen Bishop was saddled with the loss against the Bruins Thursday. The Senators chose to give Craig Anderson the night off. This was Bishop's first start since Mar. 24. He has been dealing with a lower-body injury for the past 10 days but was healthy enough to get the nod between the pipes tonight. Apr 5 |
| 3 | Alexander Auld ActiveAlexander Auld turned aside 33 of 37 shots in a 5-3 loss Saturday night. Auld was filling in for Craig Anderson, who is out with a finger injury. He allowed at least one goal in every period of Saturday's contest. Feb 25 |
