Paajarvi scored a goal and an assist in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old doubled his scoring output on the season in one afternoon. Paajarvi showed some flickers of offensive ability in his prior stops in Edmonton and St. Louis, but his role on the Senators' fourth line won't afford him many opportunities to duplicate this performance.

Paajarvi did not register a point in Monday's 6-3 loss versus the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

The 10th overall selection in 2009 has scored more than 10 goals in a season only once, qualifying him for the "bust" label. Despite underwhelming at the NHL level, Paajarvi remains on the Senators roster (for now) but until further notice, fantasy rosters should have little use for his services.

Paajarvi signed a one-year, $900,00 contract extension with the Senators on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Paajarvi is unlikely to captivate the masses in the fantasy realm. as he hasn't even come close to approaching the 34 points that he accrued as a rookie with the Oilers in 2010-11. Nowadays, the Swedish-born winger is starting the majority of his shifts in the defensive zone and seeing meaningful playing time on the penalty kill.

Paajarvi performed better after being waived by the Blues and picked up by the Senators midway through the 2017-18 season.

EDGE Analysis

Paajarvi notched just two goals and two helpers in 44 games to the Blues before being placed on waivers. However, besides for a 35-game stretch in the 2016-17 campaign, Paajarvi wasn't able to secure a full-time role with the Blues through five seasons. With the Senators, the 2009 first-round pick accrued six goals and eight points while playing in 35 straight games, and he was never scratched. Paajarvi will be an unrestricted free agent this summer.

Paajarvi scored on both of his shots Monday, helping the Senators to a 5-3 road win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

The Swede gave Roberto Luongo fits, as he tipped in a goal during the first period and then beat the veteran with a clean sweep from the slot in the third frame. Paajarvi entered this contest with only two goals in 20 games for the Senators, so this performance really came out of nowhere. It's disappointing to know that 2009's 10th overall draft pick (originally from Edmonton) has failed to earn a consistent top-six role despite tours with the Oilers, Blues and Senators in his career thus far.

Paajarvi was claimed off waivers by the Senators on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Paajarvi was the odd man out in St. Louis when Jaden Schwartz (ankle) returned, leading him to the waiver wire. The 26-year-old winger played 44 games for the Blues this season, but he simply didn't add much lately, logging zero points and 11 shots on goal in eight games since the calendar flip. Paajarvi has promise, though, as some might remember when he scored the game-winning, overtime goal last season in Game 5 against the Wild to send the Blues to the second round of the playoffs. Expect Paajarvi to stay in a bottom-six role for the Senators.

Paajarvi was designated for waivers Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Paarjarvi was the odd man out as the Blues needed to create space in the roster in order to activate Jaden Schwartz (ankle) off injured reserve. The 26-year-old Paarjarvi is pointless in his previous 15 contests and hasn't found the back of the net since Nov. 4 against Toronto. If he clears waivers, the Swede figures to be assigned to the minors, likely AHL Chicago, although where he lands could change since St. Louis doesn't currently have a designated affiliate.

Paajarvi threw one shot on goal in Sunday's 4-0 defeat to Winnipeg.

EDGE Analysis

Despite not largely appearing on the statsheet, Paajarvi has been spending nearly all of his ice time in his last three games on a line with Vladimir Tarasenko and Brayden Schenn -- both of whom are averaging above a point per game at the moment. Although Paajarvi hasn't had much point production this season only chipping in four points (two assists, two goals) in 32 games, this is an excellent opportunity for the former first-round pick to pick up his scoring pace and secure a role in St. Louis' top six.

Paajarvi has logged just 10:12 of ice time per game in his previous five outings.

EDGE Analysis

After averaging over 12 minutes of ice time through the opening 10 contests of the 2017-18 campaign, Paajarvi suddenly finds himself watching from the bench more often than not. The silver lining for fantasy owners -- if you want to see it -- is that the winger had been suiting up on a game-to-game basis until Monday's clash with the Flames. Whether Paajarvi remains a healthy scratch long term likely depends on the performance of Beau Bennett -- who rejoined the lineup following a four-game stint in the press box.

Paajarvi will be on a line with Oskar Sundqvist and rookie Tage Thompson for Wednesday's opener against the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Paajarvi has played in 308 NHL games between Edmonton and St. Louis. His linemates? They've played a combined 28. Paajarvi has been a lifetime third-line man, and he hasn't played over 55 games in a season since the 2013-14 campaign. After head coach Mike Yeo took over last season, he played every game, posting seven goals, five assists and a plus-9 rating through 29 games. Thompson likely wouldn't have made the 23-man roster if it wasn't to injuries higher in the depth chart, but he proved to Yeo that he could be a valuable asset at just 19 years old. The adjustment phase may be difficult; nevertheless, this line gelled in camp and could be a sneaky source of points for an injury-riddled Blues' squad.
