Joonas Korpisalo - Gives up five goals Korpisalo stopped 33 of 38 shots in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Avalanche. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Only two players scored on Korpisalo, but he gave up three goals to Nathan MacKinnon and two more to Mikko Rantanen. The 29-year-old Korpisalo has been awful during his five-game losing streak, giving up 23 tallies in that span. He's at a 6-11-0 record with a 3.62 GAA and an .891 save percentage through 19 outings this season. The Senators are back at home for the last game before the holiday break -- they'll host the Penguins on Saturday.

Erik Brannstrom - Offers assist in loss Brannstrom put up an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Coyotes.

Impact Brannstrom set up a Dominik Kubalik goal in the first period, which chased Arizona starter Connor Ingram from the game. The helper was Brannstrom's fourth over the last eight games, a marked improvement on his season pace of five points through 22 outings. The defenseman has added 24 shots on net, 30 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a plus-2 rating while occupying a regular role on the third pairing as the Senators have had to navigate a number of other injuries on the blue line.

DECEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Artem Zub - Provides helper in loss Zub logged an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Coyotes.

Impact Zub set up Angus Crookshank's first-period tally. With five assists over 10 games in December, Zub has put together a solid month, though offense is rarely the focal point of his game. He's at nine points, 33 hits, 39 blocked shots, 20 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 20 appearances this season, serving as more of a shutdown defenseman in a top-four role.

DECEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tim Stutzle - Manages power-play helper Stutzle logged a power-play assist and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Coyotes.

Impact Stutzle has racked up four assists, including two on the power play, over his last three games. The 21-year-old has gotten on the scoresheet in seven of 10 contests in December, picking up a goal and seven helpers. He's at 30 points, 81 shots on net, 27 hits and a plus-3 rating through 27 outings overall. Considering Stutzle is shooting a mere 7.4 percent, there's still room for his offense to improve.

DECEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jake Sanderson - Contributes two helpers Sanderson produced a pair of assists and blocked five shots in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Coyotes.

Impact Sanderson helped out on goals by Angus Crookshank and Josh Norris in the first period. This was Sanderson's first multi-point game since Nov. 16 -- in the 12 contests in between, he had just one goal and two assists. The defenseman is up to 17 points (five on the power play), 51 shots on net, 57 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 27 outings overall.

DECEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Angus Crookshank - Nets first NHL tally Crookshank scored a goal on four shots, added three hits and logged two PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Coyotes.

Impact Crookshank was limited to a fourth-line role in his NHL debut Sunday, but he moved up to the third line and quickly made an impact in his second career contest. His tally at 4:10 of the first period opened the scoring. Crookshank has added six hits and an even plus-minus rating through two appearances, and he's likely to stick in the lineup while Mathieu Joseph (lower body) is out.

DECEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dominik Kubalik - Buries goal in loss Kubalik scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Coyotes.

Impact This was Kubalik's third goal over the last six games, following a stretch of eight contests without a point for the 28-year-old winger. He's mainly played in a middle-six role this season, which has limited his offense in a top-heavy forward group. Kubalik has seven goals, one helper, 43 shots on net and a minus-13 rating through 27 appearances.

DECEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Josh Norris - Reaches 10-goal mark Norris scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Coyotes.

Impact Norris put the Senators ahead 2-0 in the first period. He's scored in three straight games and has seven points, including five goals over his last eight contests. The center is up to 10 tallies, 17 points (eight on the power play), 65 shots on net, 29 hits and a minus-2 rating through 24 appearances this season.

DECEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Joonas Korpisalo - Falters again Tuesday Korpisalo allowed four goals on 38 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Coyotes.

Impact The Senators built up a 3-0 lead in the first period, but Korpisalo couldn't make it stand. This was his fourth straight loss, and he's given up 18 goals in that span. Korpisalo has allowed at least four goals in seven of his last eight outings, ballooning his GAA to 3.54 with an .892 save percentage and a 6-10-0 record through 18 games. The Senators' next game is Thursday in Colorado.

Jakob Chychrun - Earns power-play helper Chychrun notched a power-play assist, three shots on goal and two blocked shots in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Chychrun has piled up nine assists over his last six games, with three of them coming on the power play. The 25-year-old defenseman remains on the second power-play unit, but he's finally getting into a groove after a rough second half of November. Overall, Chychrun has 21 points (nine on the power play), 62 shots on net, 42 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 26 appearances in his first full season with the Senators.
