Josh Norris - Deposits shortie in overtime winNorris scored a shorthanded goal in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canucks.

ImpactNorris ended a five-game goal drought, his longest of the season, when he buried a shortie at 15:30 of the second period off a feed from Claude Giroux. The 25-year-old Norris has been pretty solid in 2024-25 with 13 goals, 21 points, 66 shots on net, 84 hits, 32 blocked shots, 24 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 33 appearances. He may not be a point-per-game threat, but he offers well-rounded production for fantasy while centering the Senators' second line.

Claude Giroux - Earns pair of points SaturdayGiroux scored a goal on four shots, dished a shorthanded assist and added two PIM in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canucks.

ImpactGiroux's tally opened the scoring at 1:45 of the first period, and he also set up a Josh Norris goal in the second. This was Giroux's first multi-point effort since Nov. 23, which was also against the Canucks. The veteran forward is up to eight goals, 22 points, 63 shots on net, 33 hits, 14 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 33 appearances in a top-six role. Giroux has contributed at least one shorthanded point in each of his three seasons with the Senators.

Jake Sanderson - Racks up three points in OT winSanderson scored the game-winning goal, added two assists, fired three shots on net and blocked three shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canucks.

ImpactThis was Sanderson's first multi-point effort since Nov. 25 versus the Flames. He assisted on second-period goals by Shane Pinto and Josh Norris, with the latter's tally being shorthanded. Sanderson then put the Canucks away with a goal 13 seconds into overtime. The 22-year-old defenseman has six points over his last six outings and a total of two goals, 18 assists, 69 shots on net, 67 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating through 33 contests. He's produced 12 power-play points and two shorthanded assists, but he's got enough talent to turn things around at even strength.

Shane Pinto - Three-point effort SaturdayPinto scored twice on three shots and added an assist in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canucks.

ImpactPinto tallied in each of the first two periods and helped out Jake Sanderson's game-winning goal in overtime. The 24-year-old Pinto has five goals and an assist over his last five contests. The center has turned things around quickly after a deep slump following an absence due to an undisclosed injury. He's at six goals, three helpers, 44 shots on net, 27 hits, 18 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through 25 appearances.

Leevi Merilainen - Wins in overtimeMerilainen allowed four goals on 25 shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canucks.

ImpactMerilainen allowed the Canucks to bounce back from three deficits but still came away with the win when Jake Sanderson scored 13 seconds into the extra session. This was Merilainen's first NHL appearance since the 2022-23 season, and he earned his first career win. The 22-year-old has been backing up the red-hot Linus Ullmark since Anton Forsberg (undisclosed) went down with an injury last weekend. Don't expect Merilainen to get many starts, though he could make an appearance when the Senators resume their schedule and road trip with games in Winnipeg next Saturday and Minnesota next Sunday.
