Matthew Highmore - NHL News & Rumors

Provides insurance tally Saturday Highmore scored an empty-net goal and went plus-1 in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Panthers.

Impact This was Highmore's first goal since Jan. 12, a span of 33 games between tallies. He had just four helpers, 29 shots on goal, 41 hits, 18 blocked shots, six PIM and a minus-7 rating during that stretch, so he doesn't provide enough value in non-scoring categories to warrant much consideration in the fantasy realm. The 29-year-old has contributed two goals and six points while averaging 11:10 of ice time over 36 appearances in 2024-25, mainly in a fourth-line role.

Snaps slump with assist Highmore recorded an assist and two hits in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Red Wings.

Impact Highmore set up Michael Amadio's third-period tally, which stood as the game-winner. The assist ended a 17-game dry spell for Highmore, who had just 11 shots on net and a minus-8 rating in that span. The 29-year-old has at least maintained a fourth-line role, but his lack of production makes him too risky to trust in fantasy. For the season, he's at five points, 28 shots on net, 36 hits, 16 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating across 31 appearances.

Struggling to score Highmore's point drought reached 10 games in Monday's 2-1 win over the Red Wings.

Impact In that span, Highmore has eight shots on net, a minus-6 rating and 11 hits. The 29-year-old forward is locked in on the fourth line, but steady playing time is unlikely to lead to much offense given the strength of the Senators' top six. Highmore is at four points, 24 shots on net, 22 hits and a minus-6 rating through 23 contests overall.

Impact Highmore has three helpers over his last eight contests. The 28-year-old has a chance to stick in the lineup in a bottom-six role since Nick Cousins (knee), Noah Gregor (lower body) and Josh Norris (undisclosed) are all out. Highmore shouldn't be expected to do much with limited minutes, but he's already at four points, 16 shots on net and 11 hits across 13 outings this season.

Highmore has suited up in six consecutive contests after being summoned from AHL Belleville on Jan. 10.

Gets first goal of season Highmore scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Stars.

Impact Highmore has played in the last two games in place of Noah Gregor (lower body). The 28-year-old Highmore's tally Sunday was the game-winner, which was his second career game-winning goal. He has never exceeded 12 points or 46 games played in an NHL campaign, so fantasy managers likely won't need to turn to him at any point in 2024-25.

Elevated from minors Highmore was recalled from AHL Belleville on Friday.

Impact Highmore has yet to get into an NHL game this season but could be pressed into service against either Pittsburgh or Dallas on Saturday or Sunday, respectively, after Noah Gregor (lower body) sustained a long-term injury. Still, the team also brought up Zack MacEwan, so the duo will likely be competing for one roster spot unless another injury pops up.
