Impact Amadio accounted for 14 goals, 27 points and 117 shots on net across 73 regular-season contests with Vegas in 2023-24. The 28-year-old forward will likely serve as a bottom-six forward for the Senators.

Impact Amadio played the final four games of the series after being scratched in favor of Pavel Dorofeyev early on. Amadio had two points, four shots on net, two hits and a plus-2 rating.

Enters lineup, scores goal Amadio scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Stars in Game 4.
Impact Amadio was scratched for the first three games of the playoffs, but he drew in over Anthony Mantha in this contest. The 27-year-old Amadio was able to cash in a goal, but the rest of the Golden Knights' offense mostly struggled. He produced 14 goals, 27 points, 117 shots on net and a plus-4 rating over a career-high 73 appearances in the regular season, but there's no guarantee Amadio will remain in the lineup consistently moving forward.

Finds twine Tuesday Amadio scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.
Impact Amadio returned from a two-game absence as a scratch and scored the game-winner Tuesday. He's been limited to two goals over his last 16 games, leaving his spot in the lineup very much in doubt for the playoffs. The 27-year-old has matched his career high with 27 points this season while adding 114 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over 72 appearances.
APRIL 17 • ROTOWIRE
Pots equalizer Saturday Amadio scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Wild.
Impact Amadio snapped a 10-game point drought at a great time, tying the contest with 6:17 left in the third period. The 27-year-old forward has remained in a middle-six role at even strength amid his slump. He's at 26 points, 109 shots on net, 44 hits, 33 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 67 contests, nearly identical numbers to his 27-point campaign in 2022-23. Without a power-play role, Amadio is tough to roster in fantasy.
MARCH 31 • ROTOWIRE
Nets lone goal in loss Amadio scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Canucks.
Impact Amadio remained productive even with the Golden Knights debut of Anthony Mantha in a top-six role. Amadio has six goals and two assists over his last 11 outings while often playing up the lineup as the Golden Knights have battled injuries. The 27-year-old forward is up to 12 goals, 25 points, 92 shots on net and a plus-4 rating through 56 appearances. His scoring rate could drop if he remains on the third line through the end of the regular season.
MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE
Generates assist Amadio posted an assist, two blocked shots and two PIM in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Impact Amadio has a point in seven of the last 10 games, earning five goals and two assists in that span. He helped out on a Chandler Stephenson tally in the third period. The 27-year-old Amadio is tracking toward a career year with 24 points, 89 shots on net, 38 hits, 30 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 55 appearances. He should continue to see middle-six minutes and some power-play time while the Golden Knights wait to welcome back some injured forwards.
MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE
Nets goal Thursday Amadio scored a goal on six shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Bruins.
Impact Amadio's scoring has surged lately -- five of his 11 goals this season have come over his last eight games. The 27-year-old helped the Golden Knights get within a goal late in the second period. He's at 23 points, 87 shots on net, 37 hits and a plus-6 rating through 53 outings in a middle-six role.
MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE
Puts up assist Amadio logged an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
Impact Amadio set up Ivan Barbashev on the opening goal midway through the second period. The helper was Amadio's first since Dec. 19, though he also scored five goals in the 19 games between assists. The 27-year-old forward has 22 points, 81 shots on net, 35 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 52 appearances. Amadio mainly plays in a middle-six role, and he's also seeing some power-play time with the Golden Knights missing several key forwards.
FEBRUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE
Nets goal Thursday Amadio scored a goal on five shots and added two hits in Thursday's 7-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Impact Amadio has four goals over his last five games, giving him 10 tallies on the season. It's a strong scoring run for the 27-year-old, who continues to see middle-six minutes but should also feature more regularly on the power play while Mark Stone (upper body) is out. Amadio has 21 points, 76 shots on net, 31 hits and a plus-5 rating across 50 appearances this season.
FEBRUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE
Tallies again Tuesday Amadio scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Predators.
Impact Amadio brought the Golden Knights within a goal with 2:59 left in the third period, but the comeback fell short. He's scored in three of the last four games, raising his scoring total to nine goals and 20 points through 49 outings overall. The center has added 71 shots on net and a plus-6 rating. He was listed on the fourth line Tuesday, but Amadio has more often filled a middle-six assignment this season.
FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE
Scores early in win Amadio scored a goal on two shots and blocked three shots in Monday's 4-0 win over the Sharks.
Impact Amadio tallied just 2:28 into the game. It was his second goal in the last three games, an improvement after his recent run of nine contests without a point. The 27-year-old is up to eight goals, 19 points, 69 shots on net and a plus-6 rating through 48 outings overall while mainly working a bottom-six role this season.
FEBRUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE
Nets power-play marker Amadio scored a power-play goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Wild.
Impact Amadio snapped a nine-game point drought with his first-period tally. He's earned six power-play points this season, but he's seen little time with the man advantage since the start of January. Amadio is at seven goals, 18 points, 66 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through 46 outings. While he was on the second line Monday, he'll likely drop back to the bottom six when the team is healthier -- an illness is working its way through the locker room.
FEBRUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE
Off injured reserve Amadio (upper body) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.
Impact Amadio missed Vegas' past five games because of the injury. Now that he's healthy, Amadio will likely serve in a bottom-six capacity while Byron Froese might be a healthy scratch Saturday versus Detroit. He has six goals, 17 points and 58 shots in 42 outings in 2023-24.
JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE
Could be activated Saturday Amadio (upper body) has reportedly been cleared to return ahead of Saturday's game versus the Red Wings, Chris Chapman of Fox Sports Las Vegas reports.
Impact Amadio will need to officially be activated from injured reserve if he is to make his return. The 27-year-old may replace Pavel Dorofeyev (upper body) in the lineup after Dorofeyev sustained an injury Friday versus the Rangers.
JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE
Placed on injured reserve Amadio was put on injured reserve Friday, per Jesse Granger of The Athletic.
Impact The move is presumably retroactive to Monday, which is when Amadio last played. That would enable Amadio to be activated for Tuesday's contest against the Islanders, provided he's healthy by that time. The 27-year-old has six goals and 17 points in 42 contests in 2023-24. When Amadio is available, he'll serve in a bottom-six capacity.
JANUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE
Ruled out against Rangers Amadio will miss Thursday's clash with the Rangers due to an upper-body injury, Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Impact Amadio is currently stuck in a six-game pointless streak during which he's managed just three shots. In fact, the Ontario native has just one goal in his last 15 contests, so few fantasy players are likely to be impacted by his absence. The Knights are expected to recall a forward from the minors, possibly Grigori Denisenko or Jonas Rondbjerg, rather than deploying seven defensemen against New York.
JANUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE
Ready to rock Amadio (illness) is expected to play Thursday versus the Bruins, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
Impact Amadio was a scratch Wednesday versus the Avalanche due to the illness, but he's ready a day later. The 27-year-old will return to a third-line role and may see power-play time on the second unit. He has just two points over his last 12 contests.
JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE
Won't play Wednesday Amadio (illness) is unavailable for Wednesday's game versus the Avalanche.
Impact With Amadio out, the Golden Knights will likely turn to using seven defensemen since they don't have an extra forward on the roster. Amadio has 17 points through 39 contests this season as a bottom-six option. It's unclear if he'll be healthy enough to suit up Thursday versus the Bruins.
