Kaliyev scored two goals in AHL Belleville's 6-3 win over Toronto on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Kaliyev has eight goals and six helpers over his last 11 games. For the season, he's up to 23 goals, 39 points, 144 shots on net and a minus-9 rating over 35 appearances. Kaliyev got one look with Ottawa in October, but he's yet to make his way back to the NHL despite a strong AHL campaign so far.

Kaliyev logged three assists in AHL Belleville's 4-3 loss to Laval on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Kaliyev ends 2025 on a nine-game point streak in the AHL, earning five goals and seven assists in that span. For the season, he's up to 36 points, 127 shots on net and a minus-11 rating over 32 appearances. He's also played in two NHL games, but he isn't a particularly physical player, which hurts his chances of fitting into a bottom-six role on a gritty Ottawa team.

Kaliyev scored twice in AHL Belleville's 6-4 win over Rochester on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Kaliyev has continued to score at a high level lately with six goals and an assist over his last seven games. He had a brief stint in the NHL in October, appearing in two games, but he should stay in the mix for a call-up with his strong performances at the AHL level. He's at 10 points through 11 AHL contests overall.

Kaliyev was loaned to AHL Belleville on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Kaliyev has one assist and four shots on goal through two appearances with Ottawa this season. He has averaged only 10:37 of ice time per contest and should get an increased role in the minors.

Kaliyev logged a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Kaliyev was listed on the top line but saw just 10:03 of ice time, a team-low total. The 24-year-old winger is likely best suited for bottom-six minutes, as he's failed to establish himself as a regular with the Kings and Rangers in the last three years after an 80-game showing in 2021-22. Kaliyev will get a chance to play regularly while the Senators are without Brady Tkachuk (thumb) for upward of two months.

Kaliyev was recalled from AHL Belleville on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Kaliyev could make his Senators debut against the Kraken on Thursday, though he would need to edge out Olle Lycksell for a spot in the lineup. Selected by the Kings in the second round of the 2019 NHL Draft, the 24-year-old winger logged just 14 regular-season games with the Rangers last year, tallying three goals and one helper along the way. In order to open up a roster spot for Kaliyev, the Senators put Brady Tkachuk (wrist) on injured reserve.

Kaliyev was placed on waivers by the Senators for the purpose of assignment to AHL Belleville, the team announced Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Kaliyev latched on with the Senators in the offseason after an injury-filled year ended with him not receiving a qualifying offer from the Rangers. The 24-year-old will begin 2025-26 healthy but with AHL Belleville. Kaliyev had a goal and an assist in five appearances with AHL Ontario as well as three goals and four points in 14 outings with the Rangers during the 2024-25 regular season.

Kaliyev (upper body) signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Senators on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Kaliyev topped 50 regular-season appearances in each of his final three years with the Kings, but he was limited to just 14 games with the NHL club last year while hampered by injuries. It's not yet clear whether he'll be ready for training camp this year, but he'll attempt to carve out a role with the Senators in 2025-26.

The Rangers didn't extend a qualifying offer to Kaliyev (upper body) on Monday, making him an unrestricted free agent, Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

After topping 50 appearances in each of his final three full seasons with the Kings, Kaliyev was hampered by injuries last year, appearing in just 14 games and recording three goals, an assist, seven hits, two blocked shots and two PIM while averaging 11:13 of ice time. He missed the end of the 2024-25 campaign due to an upper-body injury, and it's unclear whether he'll be ready for the start of training camp this fall.

Kaliyev (upper body) will not play again this season, including the postseason, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Kaliyev's season has been hampered by injuries, as the 23-year-old winger was limited to just 14 games this year in which he notched three goals, one assist and seven hits while averaging 11:13 of ice time. Looking ahead to the offseason, Kaliyev will be a restricted free agent, so he should be back with the Rangers next year after the two sides come together on a new deal.
