Player to watch at camp Yakemchuk is expected to be one of the main storylines for the Senators when camp opens in September, Steve Warne of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Yakemchuk is believed to be in competition for a third-pairing role, though the more experienced Nikolas Matinpalo is in his way. Between the regular season and playoffs last year, Yakemchuk logged a goal and three assists over his first five appearances at the NHL level. The 20-year-old defenseman is still a bit green in his own zone, but his offensive upside could help him earn his place. Fantasy managers in redraft leagues can afford to wait and see how this turns out, but those in dynasty formats may want to make space for Yakemchuk as soon as Opening Night.

Hurt late in Tuesday's game Yakemchuk (upper body) was injured in Tuesday's game versus the Panthers, and there was no update on his status after the contest, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.

Impact Noah Gregor delivered an illegal hit on Yakemchuk in the third period, for which the Florida forward received a match penalty. Yakemchuk's injury is terrible for the young blueliner and the Senators as a whole, who are already missing four other defensemen. An update on Yakemchuk's status could be available prior to Thursday's game versus the Sabres.

Big night in NHL debut Yakemchuk scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Red Wings.

Impact Called up from AHL Belleville earlier in the day due to injuries to Thomas Chabot (arm) and Lassi Thomson (lower body), Yakemchuk made an immediate impact. The seventh overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft picked up his first NHL point on Brady Tkachuk's first-period tally, then Yakemchuk opened his own account by snapping a puck past John Gibson from thee top of the faceoff circle midway through the second frame. With Jake Sanderson (upper body) also still unavailable, the 20-year-old blueliner split time on the first power-play unit with Jordan Spence, but Yakemchuk's upside -- and the Senators' need for all the offense they can get as they fight for a playoff spot -- could land him in the top spot quickly, even if his overall role is sheltered.
