Formenton scored a goal on three shots and added three hits in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Formenton broke up Marc-Andre Fleury's shutout bid at 1:41 of the third period. The tally snapped a six-game point drought for Formenton, whose last contribution to the offense was a goal on Opening Night. The 22-year-old winger has added 13 shots, 16 hits and a minus-1 rating in eight appearances, but he's been limited to bottom-six usage so far.

Formenton only played 20 games during the 2020-21 season, as illness kept him from establishing himself in Ottawa.
EDGE Analysis
When Formenton was able to play a full season at AHL Belleville in 2019-20, he tallied 53 points in 61 games. He'll be trying to win a job in Ottawa for the 2021-22 season, and if he can stay healthy, he could develop into a decent contributor in deeper redraft leagues. Keep him on your watch list as a pickup possibility if the Senators give him an opportunity.

Formenton tallied a goal on three shots and had two PIM in Wednesday's 5-1 win over Montreal. He also dished out three hits.
EDGE Analysis
Formenton came into the game without a goal in his previous nine games but put that behind him with a nifty tally midway through the third period. The 21-year-old drove wide to the net on his backhand, moved to his forehand and chipped the puck over Montreal netminder Jake Allen to make it a 5-1 game. It was Formenton's fourth goal in 18 games this season to go along with a pair of assists.

Formenton was added to the active roster Monday.
EDGE Analysis
In his eight games this season, Formenton recorded three goals on 11 shots, including a short-handed tally, while averaging 11:07 of ice time. The 21-year-old winger should see plenty of opportunities down the stretch as the Senators will no doubt want to evaluate their younger talent.
