Healthy scratch Thursday Kubalik has recovered from his undisclosed injury, but he will be a healthy scratch Thursday versus Tampa Bay, per Dean Brown of the Senators Radio Network.

Impact It was previously reported that Kubalik wouldn't play against the Lightning, but it initially seemed like his absence was due to injury rather than the coach's decision. He has 11 goals, 15 points and 54 hits in 72 outings in 2023-24. This will be Kubalik's third straight contest out of the lineup.

Strikes on power play Kubalik scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Kings.

Impact Kubalik opened the scoring at 7:33 of the first period. The goal was Kubalik's 10th of the season, but it took him a long time to get there -- he entered Thursday on a 20-game goal drought, a span in which he had just one assist. The 28-year-old winger is at 14 points, 69 shots on net, 39 hits and a minus-23 rating over 57 appearances in a disappointing first season with the Senators.

Set to miss out Tuesday Kubalik (hip) is not expected back in the lineup against Montreal on Tuesday.

Impact Kubalik will have to wait at least one more contest to try to end his five-game pointless streak during which he registered four shots, two PIM and two hits while averaging 11:58 of ice time. With just 12 points through 41 games this season, the 28-year-old winger could be in danger of missing the 30-point threshold for the first time in his five-year NHL career.

JANUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Sunday Kubalik will miss Sunday's matchup against Philadelphia due to a minor hip injury, according to TSN 1200 Ottawa.

Impact Kubalik will be replaced in the lineup by Shane Pinto, who will make his season debut after serving his 41-game suspension for violating the NHL's sports wagering rules. The 28-year-old Kubalik has accounted for nine goals, 12 points, 61 shots on net and 22 hits over 41 outings this season.

Scores in loss Kubalik scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Flames.

Impact Kubalik beat the buzzer in the first period to give the Senators a 2-1 lead. The winger has two goals and an assist over his last five games, playing mainly in a third-line role. With the Senators' forward group essentially 100 percent, there's little chance of Kubalik moving up any time soon. He's at nine goals, three assists, 57 shots on net and a minus-14 rating through 36 appearances.

Chips in with helper Kubalik provided an assist in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Kubalik hasn't generated a lot of offense this season, and when he does contribute, he's usually the one scoring. Instead, he set up Ridly Greig's first-period marker in Thursday's game. Kubalik has four points over his last seven outings and nine points with 43 shots on net and a minus-12 rating over 28 contests for the year. The Senators have a strong top six, so Kubalik is likely to remain on the third line unless injuries open up spots higher in the lineup.

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

Tickles twine Thursday Kubalik scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to St. Louis.

Impact Kubalik went 10 games without a goal from early November to early December but has now bent the twine in two of his last three outings. With just seven points through the opening 24 games of the season, the 28-year-old winger is well off his pace from previous years and looks poised to miss the 30-point mark for the first time in his five-year NHL career.

Senators' Dominik Kubalik Blasts One-Timer For Revenge Goal vs. Red Wings

Scores second of season Kubalik scored a power play goal in the Senators 3-2 loss to the Kings on Thursday.

Impact It was Kubalik's second goal of the season and first with the man-advantage. Kubalik has yet to pick up an assist in nine games. He had 20 goals and 25 assists in 81 games last season, so he is capable of more scoring.

NOVEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still searching for first point Kubalik went scoreless in Sunday's 5-2 win against the Lightning.

Impact Kubalik posted 20 goals and 45 points across 81 games in his only NHL campaign with the Red Wings last season, and he was inked by the Senators for some added scoring punch. He is scoreless in three games, and he has taken just one shot on goal in the past two outings after going for three shots in Carolina in the opener. Be patient, as Kubalik should still be able to reach 35-40 points.

OCTOBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to Ottawa Detroit traded Kubalik, Donovan Sebrango and two 2024 draft picks to Ottawa in exchange for Alex DeBrincat on Sunday.

Impact Kubalik was impressive with the Red Wings last season, tallying 20 goals and 45 points across 81 games. It was his first 20-goal output since pocketing 30 during his 2019-20 rookie campaign. The 27-year-old should slide into a middle-six role with the Senators during the 2023-24 campaign. Kubalik is currently slated to become an unrestricted free agent in 2024.

JULY 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Turns in quality campaign Kubalik finished his debut season with the Red Wings having generated 20 goals, 25 assists and 17 power-play points through 81 games.

Impact Kubalik burst onto the scene with a 46-point rookie campaign with the Blackhawks in 2019-20, and the winger nearly matched that total in his first go-around for a Detroit team that relied on him heavily on the man advantage. Kubalik is a dual threat in the sense that he's equally adept at scoring and setting up goals, though this was the first time in his four-year career that he joined the 20-20 club in those key offensive categories.
