Slated to be ready for camp Norris (shoulder) is on track to be a full participant during training camp, general manager Steve Staios told Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia on Wednesday.
Impact Norris didn't play past Feb. 27 last season due to his shoulder injury. He had 16 goals and 30 points in 50 outings with the Senators in 2023-24. Provided the 25-year-old is healthy, Norris should serve in a top-six capacity and as a member of the first power-play unit.

Will be ready for training camp General manager Steve Staios said Friday that Norris (shoulder) will be ready for the start of training camp in September, Claire Hanna of TSN reports.
Impact Norris underwent his third shoulder operation in his career in March and he is well on his way to recovery. The talented center had 16 goals and 30 points in 50 games this season, but he struggled at times, due to his lingering shoulder woes. Norris has missed 106 games over the last two seasons, really dampening his fantasy value heading into the 2024-25 campaign.

Undergoes third shoulder procedure Norris will not play again this season after undergoing shoulder surgery, TSN reports Monday.
Impact Norris has been plagued with shoulder injuries throughout his young career, with this being his third time going under the knife. At this point, it's safe to wonder how long the 24-year-old center can continue playing without risking permanent damage. Norris will end the 2023-24 campaign having tallied 16 goals and 14 assists, including 12 power-play points, in 50 games.

Lands on long-term IR Norris (upper body) was placed on long-term injured reserve on Friday, per CapFriendly.
Impact Norris suffered an apparent shoulder injury Tuesday versus the Predators. Norris has had multiple shoulder surgeries in his young career and could miss the remainder of the season. He had 16 goals and 30 points in 50 games this season.

Surfaces on injured reserve Norris (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, Steve Lloyd of TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
Impact Norris was already labeled out for an extended period due to the injury he sustained Tuesday versus the Predators. The Senators have been up against the salary cap all season, so it is likely he has already been placed on long-term injured reserve or will be soon, pending an official announcement from the team.

Senators lose C Josh Norris for 'extended period' due to injury Ottawa Senators center Josh Norris will be sidelined “an extended period of time” with an upper-body injury, interim coach Jacques Martin sa...
FEBRUARY 29 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM
Facing extended absence Norris will be out for an extended period due to his upper-body injury, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
Impact It appears the results of the MRI Norris underwent Wednesday weren't favorable. With Norris, who's notched 16 goals and 30 points through 50 contests this season, expected to be sidelined longer term, it wouldn't be surprising to see him land on injured reserve in the coming days. The Senators will presumably need to promote a forward from the minors to fill in while Norris is on the shelf.

Undergoes MRI Norris (upper body) is awaiting the results of an MRI conducted Wednesday, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
Impact Norris has dealt with several shoulder injuries throughout his career and there is concern that this latest problem could be related. In his last 10 outings, the 24-year-old has generated four goals on 16 shots and two assists, including two power-play helpers. If Norris does miss any time, he figures to be replaced in the lineup by Rourke Chartier, who is currently plying his trade in the minors.

Big game snaps long goal drought Norris scored twice Thursday in a 4-1 win over Dallas.
Impact He had one goal in his previous 20 games. Norris put the Sens up 1-0 early in the first period by muscling his way to inside position on Derrick Pouliot and redirecting Drake Batherson's point shot. He then scored the winner five-hole early in the second after blowing past Miro Heishanen and skating into a dish from Batherson. Norris has struggled to find his game this season after missing all but eight games in 2022-23, but Thursday, he looked every bit the 35-goal guy he was in 2021-22. Maybe it simply took him this long to get his game back. If so, Norris could be a proverbial home run smash off the wire.

Assist in return from injury Norris (upper body) got an assist Saturday in a 2-1 overtime loss to Winnipeg.
Impact Norris saw 20:04 in ice time in his return after missing four games. It was nice to see him get on the score sheet - it was his first point since the December break (eight games played) despite putting up 20 shots. Norris had been on a five-game goal streak (seven points) heading into that break, but it's been hard for him to find consistency this season. However, with Shane Pinto (suspension) returning Sunday, the Sens will have their top three centers on the ice for the first time in a year (Jan. 21, 2023). Norris may see greater offensive opportunity in a better-balanced lineup.

Good to go Saturday Norris (upper body) is expected to return Saturday against Winnipeg, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
Impact Norris had missed Ottawa's last four games with an upper-body injury. The 24-year-old center is expected to return to the Senators' third line, with Ridley Grieg continuing to man the top unit. Norris has 12 goals and 20 points through 33 games this season.
JANUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE
Might return this weekend Norris (upper body) might be an option to return Saturday versus Winnipeg or Sunday against Philadelphia, coach Jacques Martin told TSN 1200 Ottawa on Wednesday.
Impact Although Norris seems to be getting close to returning, he'll still miss his fourth straight game Thursday versus Montreal. He has 12 goals and 20 points in 33 outings in 2023-24. When Norris is healthy, he might push Zack MacEwen out of the lineup.
JANUARY 17 • ROTOWIRE
Still unavailable Norris (upper body) won't play Tuesday against Colorado, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.
Impact Norris will miss his third straight contest. He has provided 12 goals, 20 points, 87 shots on net and 33 hits over 33 games this season. Ridly Greig is slated to center the top line again Tuesday in Norris' absence.
JANUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE
Remains sidelined Norris (upper body) won't play Saturday against San Jose, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
Impact Norris will have to wait for Tuesday's game against the Avalanche for his next potential opportunity to rejoin the lineup. With Norris unavailable, the Senators are expected to deploy 11 forwards and seven defensemen versus the Sharks.
JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE
Sidelined versus Sabres Norris will be unavailable against Buffalo on Thursday due to an upper-body injury, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
Impact Norris is currently mired in a seven-game pointless streak despite registering 16 shots on net over that stretch. With the 24-year-old center on the shelf, Tim Stutzle will move up to the first power-play unit. In terms of the full lineup, Ottawa will either need to bring a forward up from the minors or roll with seven defensemen Thursday. For his part, Norris will be reevaluated ahead of Saturday's clash with San Jose.

Tallies on power play Norris scored a power-play goal on three shots, blocked two shots and went minus-2 in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Avalanche.
Impact Norris has tallied in four straight games and six of his last eight. This was also his third outing in a row with a power-play marker. The 24-year-old center is up to 11 goals, 18 points (nine on the power play), 68 shots, 29 hits and a minus-4 rating through 25 outings. Fantasy managers likely hadn't given him much thought prior to December, but he should be working his way onto more rosters with his recent performance.

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

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.
