Nick Jensen - Adds assist in win Jensen logged an assist and two blocked shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Stars.

Impact Jensen has contributed three helpers and eight blocked shots over his last four contests. The 34-year-old defenseman isn't always consistent on offense, but he's playing in a top-four role that allows him to get some looks at times. For the season, he has two goals, 14 assists, 52 blocks, 50 shots on net, 39 hits and a plus-15 rating over 42 appearances.

Nick Cousins - Collects assist Cousins produced an assist and three shots on goal in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Stars.

Impact Cousins has been limited to two assists over his last eight outings. The 31-year-old doesn't have to score to be productive -- he also has 10 PIM and 16 hits in that span. He's been a bottom-six fixture for the Senators this season, earning five goals, eight assists, 57 shots on net, 66 hits, 35 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 40 appearances. That's a level of production that only fantasy managers in deep formats will appreciate.

Shane Pinto - Records helper in win Pinto logged an assist in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Stars.

Impact Pinto now has three points over his last two outings after picking up just one assist in the previous seven games. The 24-year-old center often plays more than his third-line role would suggest -- he led all Senators forwards with 21:50 of ice time Sunday, his second straight game over the 20-minute mark. He's produced 13 points, 63 shots on net, 32 hits, 25 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 34 appearances. Should Pinto continue to see more ice time, his production will likely keep improving in the second half of the campaign.

Jake Sanderson - Posts helper Sunday Sanderson notched an assist, three shots on goal, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Stars.

Impact Sanderson has earned three helpers over his last four games. This was his first point at even strength since Dec. 21 versus the Canucks, when he had a goal and two assists. The defenseman continues to play a massive role for the Senators, racking up two goals, 22 assists, 87 shots on net, 85 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating over 42 outings this season.

Claude Giroux - Snags assist in Sunday's win Giroux produced an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Stars.

Impact Giroux helped out on Tim Stutzle's go-ahead goal in the second period. After a recent four-game point drought, Giroux racked up four assists during this weekend's back-to-back set. He's now at nine goals, 19 helpers, 81 shots on net, 38 hits and a plus-5 rating over 42 appearances this season. Giroux's offense remains strong at age 37, and he's unlikely to falter too much while playing in a top-six role.

Drake Batherson - Generates assist in win Batherson recorded an assist in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Stars.

Impact Batherson has a goal and an assist over his last two contests following a four-game point drought. He set up a Josh Norris tally in the second period of Sunday's victory. Batherson continues to add strong offense with a physical edge, earning 38 points, 90 shots on net, 66 hits and a minus-3 rating through 42 outings this season in a top-six role.

Matthew Highmore - 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.

Josh Norris - Scores in Sunday's win Norris scored a goal on four shots, doled out seven hits and added two PIM in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Stars.

Impact Norris ended a five-game goal drought with the second-period tally, which tied the contest at 1-1. He has been limited to two points over six outings in January. The center's slowdown on offense is a bit concerning even though he's maintained a prominent role in the Senators' lineup. He's contributed 15 goals, nine assists, 83 shots, 112 hits, 28 PIM and a minus-10 rating over 42 appearances this season.

Tim Stutzle - Tallies again Sunday Stutzle scored a goal and added two hits in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Stars.

Impact This was Stutzle's second game in a row with a goal after going five contests without one. The 22-year-old put the Senators ahead 2-1 in the second period. He's gone 14 games without a multi-point effort, earning four goals, three assists and 28 shots on net in that span. For the season, the center is at 14 goals, 43 points, 84 shots, 70 hits and a plus-6 rating over 43 appearances.

Leevi Merilainen - Wins again Sunday Merilainen stopped 24 of 26 shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Stars.

Impact Merilainen started both halves of a back-to-back this weekend and won both games. It's telling that the Senators trusted a 22-year-old goalie, making just his eighth career appearance, more than Anton Forsberg despite the crowded part of the schedule. Merilainen has delivered when called upon this season, going 4-2-0 with a 2.34 GAA and a .913 save percentage while often facing moderately tough opponents. This was also his first home outing in 2024-25. The Senators have not revealed their goaltending plans for Tuesday's road game versus the Islanders at this time.
