Nilsson turned aside 27 of 28 shots in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
A shorthanded goal by young countryman Lias Andersson spoiled his shutout bid. Nilsson hasn't put together great overall stats since joining the Senators, but his 11-11-0 record is fairly impressive given the team's struggles.

Nilsson will guard the cage in Wednesday's road game against the Rangers, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nilsson was decent in his last start Thursday against Florida, stopping 29 of 32 shots, but he ultimately suffered his 20th defeat of the campaign. The Swedish netminder will look to get back on track and snap his two-game losing streak in a road matchup with a Rangers team that's averaging 2.85 goals per game at home this season, 23rd in the NHL.

Nilsson made 29 saves in a 5-2 loss to Florida on Thursday night. He allowed three goals.
EDGE Analysis
Nilsson kept the young Sens in this game, but they couldn't get the red light on nearly enough. Nilsson has been a sturdy soldier for the Sens, but his game is up and down. One night he stones the mighty Leafs; the next he allows six to the Orcas. There's not enough consistency in Nilsson's game to warrant activation right now.

Nilsson is in the starter's net Thursday as he prepares to face the visiting Panthers, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nilsson received three games off after the Canucks ripped him to the tune of six goals on 39 shots in a road start. He's only emerged the victor in one quarter of his appearances this season (three in 12), and we'll throw out another red flag in that the Panthers rank ninth in the league at three goals per game on the road.

Nilsson gave up six goals on 39 shots in Wednesday's 7-4 loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Nilsson was almost bailed out, as the Senators put on a four-goal rally in the third period, but he promptly gave up a second goal to Bo Horvat to effectively kill the rally. Nilsson's record dropped to 13-18-1 with a 3.04 GAA and a .907 save percentage. Wins are hard to come by for any Senators goalie this year, and matchups on the road against the Flames on Thursday and Oilers on Saturday are not recommended plays for Nilsson's fantasy owners.

Nilsson will start between the pipes in Wednesday's road clash with the Canucks, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nilsson has won three of his last four contests and will go into Vancouver riding a two-game winning streak -- including a 35-save shutout against the Blues on March 14. In his last four outings, the Swede allowed seven goals while posting a 1.77 GAA and .948 save percentage. Nilsson will take on a Vancouver offense that has averaged 2.25 goals per game through eight games in March, good for 22nd-best in the league.

Nilsson made 35 saves in a 6-2 win over Toronto on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Nilsson has had two massive, back-to-back wins over the Blues and now the Buds. And he has won three of his last four, allowing just seven goals in that span. Nilsson is officially hot. Take advantage.

Nilsson will start between the pipes in Saturday's game against the visiting Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
In his last outing, Nilsson helped Ottawa snap a four-game losing streak by shutting out the Blues on Thursday. The Swede is 2-1-0 in three starts so far in March, allowing just five goals while posting a 1.69 GAA and .948 save percentage. Nilsson and the Senators will face a tough Toronto offense Saturday -- the Maple Leafs average 3.56 goals per game on the road this season, good for second-best in the league.

Nilsson made 35 saves in a 2-0 win over the Blues on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
He helped the Sens snap a four-game skid. It was Nilsson's second shutout of the season and sixth of his NHL career. He has looked sharp this month -- he's 2-1 in three starts with just five goals against. Nilsson could be in line for a few more starts than usual given his recent results ... and the Sens' need to finish better than last overall. Otherwise, they surrender the best-odds of the first-overall draft pick in June to Colorado.

Nilsson will tend the home goal in Thursday's game against St. Louis, Brent Wallace of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nilsson has started just three out of 10 games for the Senators, recording a 1-2-0 record to go along with a 4.45 GAA and .872 save percentage in that span. The 28-year-old has an average matchup, facing an offense that ranks 19th in goals per game this season (2.87). In a small sample size, Nilsson is 0-2-1 against the Blue in his career, accumulating a .841 save percentage and 4.28 GAA.
