Brassard's lower-body injury is "not good" and he'll likely miss time, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brassard was hurt late in the second period, and it appeared to be an ankle or lower-leg issue. The 35-year-old will be evaluated further, and it's possible the Senators end up shutting him down rather than rushing him back this late in the season.

Brassard (lower body) won't finish Thursday's game versus the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
The Senators didn't specify anything beyond lower-body injury, but Brassard's issue appeared to be with his ankle, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports. This may be longer than a day-to-day situation, but it's unclear when the Senators will provide an update on Brassard's status.

Brassard logged a goal on two shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Brassard's power-play tally in the first period was originally credited to Erik Brannstrom. However, it was determined that Brannstrom's shot ricocheted off Brassard's stick before sneaking past Sergei Bobrovsky. It's Brassard's second goal in his last three games, though he'd gone scoreless in his previous nine contests. The 35-year-old veteran is up to 13 goals and 23 points in 61 appearances this season.

Brassard scored twice Thursday in a 5-3 win over the Rangers. It was his 1,000th NHL game.
EDGE Analysis
He tipped in a pass from Mathieu Joseph at the midpoint of the second period and then tied the game just 1:36 into the third. Brassard is riding a four-game, six-point streak (three goals, three assists), and he has managed that in limited ice time -- he played just 11:55 on Thursday. Overall, Brassard has delivered 213 goals, 330 asists and 543 points in those 1,000 games.

Brassard had a goal and an assist in a 5-2 win over Montreal on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
He opened the game late in the first period when he tipped Nick Holden's shot from the point inside the left post. The 35-year-old Brassard has nine goals and 17 points in 46 contests this season, but four of those points (one goal, three assists) have come in his last four games. Brassard doesn't offer much category coverage and the points are few and very far between. Consider this little run the exception, not the rule.

Brassard supplied an assist in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
A career journeyman, Brassard has underwhelmed with eight goals and six assists through 43 games, but the silver lining is that half of his points have come on the power play. The 35-year-old, whose salary is at the minimum $750,000 on a one-year pact, is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent in the summer.

Brassard scored a power-play goal on four shots and added four hits in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Brassard has racked up three power-play points over five games in January. His tally Thursday came in the first period off an assist from Claude Giroux. Brassard has seen limited usage at even strength, but he's still managed to produce 11 points, including six with the man advantage, through 32 outings this season. The veteran forward has added 51 shots on net, 48 hits, 20 PIM and an even plus-minus rating.

Brassard scored a goal on his lone shot in Tuesday's 4-0 win over Columbus.
EDGE Analysis
Brassard opened the scoring on the power play, deflecting a Jake Sanderson shot past Joonas Korpisalo in the second period. It's Brassard's first goal since Dec. 8 and just his fourth point in his last 13 contests. The 35-year-old center will hold marginal value if he continues to play on the power play, where he's logged five of his 10 points (five goals, five assists) this season.
