Burrows waived his right to an in-person hearing for repeatedly kneeing Taylor Hall in Tuesday night's game against the Devils, so the hearing will take place over the phone.
EDGE Analysis
Based on the egregious actions from Burrows, it seems like the question isn't whether he'll be suspended, but how long of a ban is warranted. Either way, not many fantasy owners should be affected by the eventual ruling, as Burrows likely has low ownership rates in the first place as the owner of just eight points through 51 games.

Burrows has been offered an in-person meeting with NHL Player Safety for jabbing his knee into Taylor Hall's head during a scrum, Bob McKenzie of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Burrows has always gotten his nose dirty as a bottom-six player, but the last time he was suspended was 2003 -- when he was handed a three-game ban for abusing the officials in the East Coast Hockey League. Because of the nature of this play, it's tough to tell whether this will be just a fine or a suspension, since it's difficult to prove intent. The Senators next game is Thursday against Nashville, so expect a verdict before that.

Burrows has only notched one assist in 10 games since the start of 2017-18, but has been seeing time on the first power-play unit lately.
EDGE Analysis
After reeling off 31 points (15 goals, 16 assists) last season in Vancouver and Ottawa, Burrows has seen his pace fall sharply in 2017-18, only totaling seven points (three goals, four assists) in 46 games. However, with Ottawa struggling for a spark, Burrows was inserted into the first power-play line -- skating for 2:41 of ice time total over the last three games -- but has yet to record a point on the man advantage. While it's unclear if the experiment by head coach Guy Boucher will continue, the 36-year-old certainly provides a strong veteran presence, and should be able to pick up some extra points if the lines aren't changed following the All-Star break.

Burrows has been assessed a $5,000 fine for roughing Sharks defenseman Dylan DeMelo in Friday night's game.
EDGE Analysis
The gritty winger was tossed from the contest after picking up a game misconduct penalty as part of a scrum with Demelo, who sustained a scratched cornea when Burrows hit him with his stick, but fortunately didn't end up missing Sunday's action against the Wild. Burrows' 19 penalty minutes may have helped out select fantasy owners, but that category is used less often these days given that owners are filling rosters with speedy scorers rather than enforcer types. Burrows isn't necessarily a goon, yet long gone are his days notching 50-plus points per season. He's only recorded three goals and three assists through 28 games this year.

Burrows picked up 19 PIM in Saturday's loss to the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Burrows picked up a slew of penalties towards the end of the game and was ejected late in the third period. The feisty forward appeared to use his stick to butt-end and injure Sharks' blueliner Dylan DeMelo, but it's unlikely he'll receive supplementary discipline. The Senators suffered another loss Saturday and Burrows let out some frustration in the process. His 7:45 of ice time against San Jose and eight straight contests without a point tells you everything you need to know about his fantasy value right now.

Burrows recorded an assist and a shot on goal in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to Washington.
EDGE Analysis
The assist snapped a five game point-less streak for Burrows, who is now up to six points on the season. If the numbers don't speak for themselves, the veteran winger isn't providing enough offense to be sustainable in the majority of fantasy formats.

Burrows (undisclosed) will play Friday against the Devils, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis

Burrows (undisclosed) is dealing with a "nagging" issue and will be a game-time decision for Friday's matchup with New Jersey, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
EDGE Analysis
Burrows' status for Friday evening's contest likely won't be determined until the Senators take the ice for pregame warmups, but if he's unavailable, the recently recalled Jack Rodewald will likely slot into the lineup and make his NHL debut against the Devils.

Burrows (ankle) will be ready when training camp begins Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The former Canuck was forced to miss the final four games of Ottawa's Eastern Conference Final defeat at the hands of the Penguins, but was able to make a full recovery in the offseason. Burrows was rejuvenated once traded to the Sens in the middle of the 2016-17 campaign, scoring six goals and 11 points in 20 games after recording just four goals and 10 points in 33 games for Vancouver. It may be too much to expect a 40-point season from Burrows in 2017-18, but he should establish himself as a regular in the lineup and finish around 30 points.

Burrows (lower body) was unable to rejoin the lineup and missed Ottawa's last four outings of the season.
EDGE Analysis
Prior to getting hurt, Burrows had a somewhat disappointing postseason as he went goalless in all 15 outings while tallying just five helpers. Since joining the Senators, the winger had potted 11 points in 20 contests, but was unable to consistently contribute in the playoffs. The 36-year-old will now turn his attention to getting ready for the 2017-18 season which figures to be his first full campaign in the red and black.
