Produces two points in overtime win Sanderson registered a goal and an assist in the 2-1 overtime win over the Penguins on Tuesday.

Impact It was a goaltending duel between Joonas Korpisalo and Tristan Jarry until Sanderson broke the goose egg halfway in the third period. He provided a secondary assist in overtime to snap a seven-game losing skid for Ottawa. The 2020 first-round draft pick finished with four shots and a plus-2 rating in 23:02 of ice time to go along with his two points. Sanderson is now on a modest three-game point streak, scoring one goal and three assists over that span. The 21-year old defenseman may eventually be a star but right now he is only averaging half-a-point a game on the season.

Manages power-play helper Sanderson posted a power-play assist, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Kings.

Impact Sanderson has four assists, including two on the power play, over his last 11 outings. He's had trouble stringing offense together for much of the campaign, but he plays well enough all around to maintain a top-four role. Sanderson is at 28 points (eight on the power play) with 122 shots on net, 107 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating through 58 appearances.

Good to go Friday Sanderson (undisclosed) is in Friday's lineup against Arizona, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

Impact Sanderson appeared to suffer a minor injury Tuesday against Nashville but won't be forced to miss any additional time. The 21-year-old has three assists in seven games since returning from a lower-body injury, giving him 27 points in 54 appearances.

MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE

Undergoing injury evaluation Sanderson (undisclosed) is scheduled to meet with a doctor Wednesday, per TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

Impact Sanderson, along with Thomas Chabot (undisclosed) and Josh Norris (upper body) are all being checked for injuries following Tuesday's game versus the Predators. Sanderson had a power-play assist and three blocked shots in 25:06 of ice time Tuesday, so it's unclear when the injury occurred. The results of the tests will likely determine his availability for Friday's game versus the Coyotes.

FEBRUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Snaps slump with assist Sanderson recorded an assist in Monday's 4-2 win over the Lightning.

Impact Sanderson set up a Tim Stutzle tally in the first period. The helper ended a five-game slump for Sanderson, who also missed three games with a lower-body injury in that span. The 21-year-old blueliner has had more positives than negatives in his second campaign, racking up 25 points, 100 shots on net, 91 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 49 appearances in a top-four role. Just six of his points have come on the power play, so there may still be some room for him to grow his game in that area.

FEBRUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Set to play Saturday Sanderson (lower body) is slated to return Saturday versus Chicago.

Impact Sanderson, who missed the Senators' last three contests, has seven goals and 24 points in 47 outings in 2023-24. He's projected to play alongside Artem Zub (lower body), who is also drawing back into the lineup. Erik Brannstrom is likely to be a healthy scratch Saturday.

FEBRUARY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Hoping to play during Florida trip Sanderson (lower body) is looking to rejoin the lineup for the Senators' two-game Florida road trip, Claire Hanna of TSN reports Tuesday.

Impact Based on his timeline, Sanderson looks set to be sidelined for at least three more games before the team heads to the Sunshine State to face Tampa Bay and Florida on Monday and Tuesday, respectively. With Artem Zub (lower body) also dealing with an injury, the Senators could be forced to utilize just five blueliners against Columbus on Tuesday.

FEBRUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Saturday Sanderson (lower body) isn't expected to play Saturday versus Toronto, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

Impact Sanderson sustained the injury during Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over Detroit. He has seven goals, 24 points, 26 hits and 89 blocks in 47 appearances this season. Travis Hamonic's (lower body) status for Saturday's contest remains to be seen, but if Ottawa has to play without Hamonic and Sanderson, then the Senators will need to recall a blueliner from the minors.

FEBRUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Sustains injury Wednesday Sanderson (lower body) won't return to Wednesday's game versus the Red Wings.

Impact Sanderson sustained the injury in the first period and was ruled out during the second. He may benefit from the All-Star break -- the Senators don't play again until Feb. 10 against the Maple Leafs, giving him time to heal without missing games if it's a minor injury.

Two-point effort against Avs Sanderson produced a goal on a team-high six shots on net while adding an assist, two PIM and a plus-1 rating in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to Colorado.

Impact It was the first multi-point performance since Dec. 19 for the 21-year-old blueliner, and his second-period tally snapped a 16-game goal drought. The Senators are trying not to over-work Sanderson in his second NHL season -- he saw less than 20:00 of ice time Tuesday for the first time in seven games, and Thomas Chabot handled duties on the first power-play unit -- but he's stayed relatively productive with eight points in the last 14 contests, including three helpers with the man advantage.

Logs 15th assist Sanderson registered an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Canucks.

Impact Sanderson has six helpers over his last eight games, including three on the power play. The 21-year-old blueliner was bumped to the second power-play unit with the return of Thomas Chabot on Sunday. Sanderson's offense may take a slight hit going forward, but he's still in a top-four role at even strength. He's up to 20 points, 60 shots on net, 70 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 33 outings overall.

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.

Reaches 10-assist mark Sanderson provided a power-play assist, fired two shots on goal and went minus-2 in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Sanderson's helper was his 10th of the season. The 21-year-old defenseman has hit some growing pains with just three points over his last 12 contests, though he's maintained a steady top-four role and added 29 blocked shots in that span. He's got a high floor defensively, which will help him avoid demotions in the lineup. Sanderson has 15 points, 51 shots on net, 52 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 26 appearances this season.

Two-point effort in OT win Sanderson scored and goal and delivered an assist in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Red Wings.

Impact After lighting the lamp himself midway through the first period, Sanderson initiated the wild scramble in the Detroit end that led to Tim Stutzle's OT winner with just two seconds left on the clock. Sanderson continues to look far more seasoned than a 21-year-old blueliner in his second NHL season should, and through 14 games the fifth overall pick in the 2020 Draft has racked up four goals and 12 points with 26 shots on net, 23 blocked shots, seven hits, four PIM and an even plus-minus rating.

NOVEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Stays hot in Saturday's loss Sanderson scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Red Wings.

Impact The 21-year-old blueliner has come flying out of the gate in his second NHL season, piling up three goals and six points in five games. Sanderson's hot start has allowed him to rocket past Thomas Chabot and Jakob Chychrun to take over point duties on the Senators' first power-play unit. The eight-year, $64 million contract extension Sanderson signed in September is proof of the amount of faith the team has in him, and he has rewarded the Senators in return.

Collects two points Wednesday Sanderson scored a goal, recorded an assist, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Capitals.

Impact Sanderson got on the scoresheet for the third straight game, and this was his second multi-point effort of the campaign. He's at two goals, three assists, five shots on net, five blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through four contests. His defense partner, Artem Zub, left the game with an upper-body injury. Sanderson has been working on the second pairing, and he was elevated to the first power-play unit over Thomas Chabot for Wednesday's game.

Two points including GWG Sanderson scored the game-winning goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.

Impact It was a big game for Ottawa defensemen, as Jakob Chychrun scored the first two goals of the afternoon on the way to a three-point performance, but Sanderson potted the eventual GWG on an absolute rocket from just inside the blue line late in the second period. The 21-year-old is coming off a strong rookie season that earned him an eight-year contract extension just before the season started, and while he's splitting power-play time with Chychrun and Thomas Chabot, Sanderson is already showing that he can still make an impact even if he isn't the team's No. 1 option on the back end.
