Claude Giroux - Helps out twice Saturday Giroux dished out two assists in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Florida.

Impact Giroux picked up a secondary helper on Fabian Zetterlund's opening goal before sliding the primary apple on Drake Batherson's late score. Overall, the 37-year-old Giroux now has 23 assists, 32 points, 77 shots on net and 36 hits through 44 games this season. Despite the team's inconsistencies as a whole, the veteran winger has 13 points in his last 12 games. He should continue to lead by example for the Senators, who will likely need him to continue producing points if they are to escape last place in the Atlantic Division. Giroux has solid fantasy value in nearly all leagues and should continue to play a large role in Ottawa's middle six.

Drake Batherson - Scores late goal Saturday Batherson tallied a goal and put two shots on net in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Batherson refused to bow out of Saturday's contest without putting up a fight, as he scored a goal with less than two minutes remaining to bring the Senators within one score. Overall, the 27-year-old winger is up to 17 goals, 40 points, 91 shots on net and 58 hits through 41 appearances this season. Batherson has shown steady improvement in each of his eight seasons in the NHL, with this campaign being no different. He is on pace for his first 70-point campaign after falling just two points shy of the mark a year ago. That fact, combined with his steady number of shots on goal and hits, can elevate him to a higher tier in fantasy hockey for the rest of this season and beyond.

Fabian Zetterlund - Lights the lamp in loss Zetterlund scored a goal and placed two shots on net in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Florida.

Impact Zetterlund scored just over four minutes into Saturday's contest to give the Senators an initial 1-0 lead. The twine finder brought his season totals up to 11 goals, 20 points, 77 shots on net and 79 hits through 44 games this season. The 26-year-old winger has begun to piece things together offensively with 10 points and 23 shots on net over his last 12 outings. With a steady stream of hits and a role on Ottawa's top line, Zetterlund is set up to take a leap in the second half of the season with the Senators if he can maintain a prominent offensive role. Look for the winger to challenge for the 40-point mark for the third consecutive season, which should give him viability in deep fantasy leagues moving forward.

Aaron Ekblad - Plates pair of helpers Ekblad supplied two assists and put two shots on net in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Senators.

Impact Ekblad slid the lone helper on Evan Rodrigues' power-play goal in the first period before picking up a second assist on Gustav Forsling's game-winning goal early in the third. With the pair of apples, Ekblad now has 15 assists, 18 points, 62 shots on net, 53 hits and 70 blocks through 43 appearances this season. Since Dec. 15, he has four multi-point performances and has started to hit his stride offensively. The 29-year-old blueliner should continue to see more opportunities to create on offense with Seth Jones (upper body) on injured reserve for the time being. Ekblad is a strong waiver-wire pickup across most fantasy formats.

Gustav Forsling - Ends drought with go-ahead goal Forsling scored a goal, dished out a power-play assist and recorded two hits in Saturday's 3-2 win over Ottawa.

Impact Forsling gave the Panthers a 3-1 lead in the final period of Saturday's contest with a goal that would stand as the game-winning tally.

The pair of points ended his 15-game scoreless streak, which also brings to light how consistent his offensive output was at the start of the season. If he can recapture a bit of his playmaking prowess from the start of the campaign, he could get back on track to reach 30-plus points for the fifth consecutive year. With solid all-around numbers for a defenseman, he holds enough value to be rostered in a majority of deep fantasy leagues moving forward.

Carter Verhaeghe - One of each in win Verhaeghe scored a power-play goal, dished out an assist, put two shots on net and served four PIM in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Senators.

Impact Verhaeghe struck the back of the net on a power play in the second period before lending a hand on Gustav Forsling's go-ahead goal in the third. With the pair of points, Verhaeghe is up to 13 goals, 18 assists, 98 shots on goal and 45 hits through 43 outings this season. After a seven-game scoreless streak that took him into the new year the 30-year-old winger now has three points in as many games. With Matthew Tkachuk (groin) likely returning to the lineup in the near future, his addition would be a huge boost to Verhaeghe's fantasy value and for Florida's second line as a whole. Verhaeghe is on pace for his fifth consecutive campaign with 50 points or more, giving him good fantasy value for the second half of the regular season.
