Big game snaps long goal drought Norris scored twice Thursday in a 4-1 win over Dallas.

Impact He had one goal in his previous 20 games. Norris put the Sens up 1-0 early in the first period by muscling his way to inside position on Derrick Pouliot and redirecting Drake Batherson's point shot. He then scored the winner five-hole early in the second after blowing past Miro Heishanen and skating into a dish from Batherson. Norris has struggled to find his game this season after missing all but eight games in 2022-23, but Thursday, he looked every bit the 35-goal guy he was in 2021-22. Maybe it simply took him this long to get his game back. If so, Norris could be a proverbial home run smash off the wire.

Assist in return from injury Norris (upper body) got an assist Saturday in a 2-1 overtime loss to Winnipeg.

Impact Norris saw 20:04 in ice time in his return after missing four games. It was nice to see him get on the score sheet - it was his first point since the December break (eight games played) despite putting up 20 shots. Norris had been on a five-game goal streak (seven points) heading into that break, but it's been hard for him to find consistency this season. However, with Shane Pinto (suspension) returning Sunday, the Sens will have their top three centers on the ice for the first time in a year (Jan. 21, 2023). Norris may see greater offensive opportunity in a better-balanced lineup.

Impact Although Norris seems to be getting close to returning, he'll still miss his fourth straight game Thursday versus Montreal. He has 12 goals and 20 points in 33 outings in 2023-24. When Norris is healthy, he might push Zack MacEwen out of the lineup.

In terms of the full lineup, Ottawa will either need to bring a forward up from the minors or roll with seven defensemen Thursday. For his part, Norris will be reevaluated ahead of Saturday's clash with San Jose.

Norris has found the back of the net in two of the last three games, but since the beginning of November he's managed just four goals and eight points in 15 contests.

It was Norris' second multi-point performance in 11 games after a slightly delayed start to the season while he completed his recovery from shoulder surgery, but the 24-year-old's looked 100 percent healthy since getting on the ice with five goals and nine points.
