Formenton returned from a concussion Tuesday night against the visiting Bruins. He logged 12:56 of ice time, coming up empty on three shot attempts and getting whistled for a minor holding penalty in a 4-1 loss.
EDGE Analysis
Forementon is still seeking his first NHL point through six games, starting with his cup of coffee with the Senators in the 2017-18 campaign. Still, it would be wise to practice patience with the 2017 second-round (47th overall) draft pick, who was unfazed by junior-league competition last season, averaging a point per game for OHL London.

Forementon (concussion) will return to action Tuesday against the Bruins, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
EDGE Analysis
After averaging a point per game with OHL London in 2017-18, Forementon has faced his share of adversity at the top level, logging four consecutive pointless outings before missing three games with a concussion to start this season. There's still plenty of promise regarding Formenton's fantasy prospects, as he was Ottawa's second-round (47th overall) draft pick in 2017. The lanky winger should get every opportunity to prove his worth within a rebuilding organization.

Formenton (concussion) won't return until next week at the earliest, Brent Wallace of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Considering that the Senators only have one game left this week, this doesn't mean that Formenton is going to miss a ton of time. However, since the 19-year-old is dealing with a concussion, it's hard to put a strict return date on him. Based on this, his next chance to return will be Tuesday against the Bruins.

The Senators placed Formenton (concussion) on injured reserve Friday, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
According to Wayne Scanlan of the Ottawa Citizen, Formenton is already feeling better Friday, but he'll still miss Ottawa's next two contests at a minimum. The 19-year-old rookie has gone scoreless while averaging 11:12 of ice time through the first four games of the campaign.

Formenton won't rejoin the action Wednesday due to an upper-body injury.
EDGE Analysis
Formenton logged 8:24 of ice time prior to exiting the contest, recording four penalty minutes and two shots on goal. The 2017 second-round pick has yet to record a point through five career NHL games, but he could get a chance to end that spell Saturday against the Kings if the issue is minor enough to allow him to play.

Foremeton (undisclosed) helped the Senators defend their title at the rookie tournament in Laval.
EDGE Analysis
Forementon sustained an apparent injury of some kind last Saturday, but he was able to finish the tournament, suggesting that he's now healthy. "He's a tall, lean kid so our strength and conditioning team have really pushed for him to add some strength and power to his game which will allow him to make even better use of his speed," chief amateur scout Trent Mann said of Formenton. "You can see that his body is starting to mature a little bit and there are glimpses of him adding a bit of a power game to his speed which will just create more opportunities for him."

Formenton was forced out of the rookie tournament Saturday upon taking a high hit from Andrew Nielsen, Scott Wheeler of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nielsen's been taking bad penalties in the tournament and now appears to have left a player injured. It remains to be seen if Formenton will be able to check back into the contest, but the controversial play should be detailed in the recap.

Formenton picked up a goal and two assists in OHL London's 9-0 drubbing of Flint on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Formenton made history earlier this season when he became the youngest player in the history of the Senators franchise, but he is back working on his game at the junior level where he belongs. Blessed with elite and game-changing speed, Formenton doesn't have to score much to be a useful player at the NHL level. He has 11 points in eight games since returning to London.

Formenton was assigned to OHL London on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The 18-year-old rewrote history, as he became the youngest to debut with the Senators, doing so Oct. 7 against the Red Wings. He only appeared in 4:54 of ice time in that contest and was scratched in the three subsequent NHL games. OK, so Forementon needs more time to refine his game before making an impact at thehighest level, but the 2017 second-round (47th overall) pick remains an appealing dynasty option on the heels of a 34-point and plus-21 campaign with the OHL's Knights in 2016-17.

Formenton will skate on Ottawa's fourth line Sunday against Detroit, joining Nate Thompson and Alexandre Burrows.
EDGE Analysis
Formenton becomes the youngest player in Senators history with his call-up. Ottawa has clearly moved up his timetable, and he's worth monitoring if he can produce against the Red Wings.
