Derick Brassard - NHL News & Rumors

Unretires, signs with Swiss club Brassard agreed to terms on a one-year contract with Geneve-Servette HC (Switzerland) on Wednesday, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.

Impact Brassard hasn't played since 2022-23 when he was with the Senators, having previously announced his retirement back in June of 2024. While it's not impossible, it seems unlikely that this is an attempt to get back to the NHL, though both Gabriel Landeskog and Jonathan Toews have recently made returns from extended stints away from the game.

Leaves game with LBI Brassard (lower body) won't finish Thursday's game versus the Flyers.

Impact The Senators didn't specify anything beyond lower-body injury, but Brassard's issue appeared to be with his ankle, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports. This may be longer than a day-to-day situation, but it's unclear when the Senators will provide an update on Brassard's status.

Likely to miss time Brassard's lower-body injury is "not good" and he'll likely miss time, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

Impact Brassard was hurt late in the second period, and it appeared to be an ankle or lower-leg issue. The 35-year-old will be evaluated further, and it's possible the Senators end up shutting him down rather than rushing him back this late in the season.

Credited with goal Monday Brassard logged a goal on two shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Panthers.

Impact Brassard's power-play tally in the first period was originally credited to Erik Brannstrom. However, it was determined that Brannstrom's shot ricocheted off Brassard's stick before sneaking past Sergei Bobrovsky. It's Brassard's second goal in his last three games, though he'd gone scoreless in his previous nine games. The 35-year-old veteran is up to 12 goals and 22 points in 60 games this season.
