Nine assists in last six games Sanderson set up two goals Tuesday in a 5-2 win over the Flyers.
Impact He also delivered two blocks, one hit and one shot. Sanderson has nine assists in his last six games; four of those came on the power play. And his 45 points (six goals, 39 assists) put him 12th on the NHL scoring list for defenders. Plus his 136 blocks -- good for 15th in the league -- gives him a real edge in leagues that count secondary stats. Sanderson's minus-19 is his anchor, but that may not be an issue in your format.

Good to go Monday Sanderson (neck) will play against Washington on Monday, per Claire Hanna of TSN.
Impact Sanderson participated in Monday's morning skate and won't miss any additional time after leaving Saturday's 5-3 win over San Jose. He has produced six goals, 37 points, 136 shots on net, 125 blocked shots and 33 hits in 58 outings this season.

Leaves Saturday's game Sanderson (neck) took a hit to the neck in Saturday's game versus the Sharks and there was no update on his status following the contest, Claire Hanna of TSN reports.
Impact Sanderson picked up an assist in the game prior to his exit, giving him 37 points through 58 appearances. He's one shy of matching his point total from last year, and he's also served as the Senators' top defenseman this season, so any potential absence looms large. An update on Sanderson's status should be available prior to Monday's game against the Capitals, the first in a two-game road trip that concludes Wednesday in Chicago.

Nets power-play marker Sanderson scored a power-play goal on four shots and blocked two shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Canadiens.
Impact Not only did Sanderson not need rest after the 4 Nations Face-Off, he was able to get the Senators on the board with his first-period tally. The defenseman ended up logging 21:21 of ice time, well below his average of 24:25 per game coming into the contest. He's now at six goals, 36 points (21 on the power play), 130 shots on net, 119 blocked shots and a minus-16 rating through 56 appearances. Sanderson should be back up his usual workload beginning with Wednesday's game versus the Jets -- look for him to see time on the top pairing and first power-play unit as he marches toward what's tracking to be a 50-point campaign for the 22-year-old.

Slated to play Sanderson (rest) is expected to be in the lineup Saturday versus the Canadiens, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.
Impact Sanderson was questionable to suit up after his stint with Team USA during the 4 Nations Face-Off. It looks like he'll be able to avoid taking additional rest at this time, and with the Senators off for three days after this contest, he should be fine moving forward. Sanderson can be penciled in for top-pairing minutes and power-play duties.

Game-time decision Saturday Sanderson (rest) will be a game-time decision Saturday versus the Canadiens, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
Impact Sanderson and teammate Brady Tkachuk played for the Americans in Thursday's finale against Canada in the 4 Nations Face-Off and will get another four days of rest if they sit out Saturday's tilt against Montreal. Sanderson has five goals and 30 assists in 55 games this season, three points shy of his career high 38 points in 79 regular-season games set last season.

Shows well, gets goal at 4 Nations Sanderson scored a goal Thursday in Team USA's 3-2 overtime loss to Canada in the 4 Nations Face-Off championship game.
Impact Sanderson acquitted himself well in this tournament after slotting in for the last two games. His ascension to the NHL's elite continues -- he didn't look at all out of place skating with the league's best players. Sanderson is going to be a beast. He's already on a 50-point pace, which would establish a new career mark.
