EDGE Analysis

Watson had pins put into his hand to help aid his recovery. The 30-year-old was already expected to miss 4-6 weeks, so a late April return looks like the plan for now. Watson produced 10 points and 100 hits through 34 games before this injury.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Watson has helpers in consecutive games after he went 11 straight contests without a point. The 30-year-old forward typically plays in a fourth-line role. He's amassed nine points, 81 hits, 37 blocked shots, 35 PIM and 33 shots on net through 30 contests. His rough play could attract some fantasy attention in deeper formats.

EDGE Analysis

While there was no cause for celebration from the Senators in this overwhelming defeat, Watson deserves credit for helping Evgenii Dadonov to his 100th career goal.

EDGE Analysis

Watson had a strong defensive game -- not bad for a fourth-line forward. While his scoring numbers don't jump off the page, the 30-year-old has five points through 10 contests this season. He's supplemented that with 18 PIM, 29 hits, 11 blocked shots and 14 shots on goal from a fourth-line role. He's on pace for his first 20-point campaign, a mark he hasn't reached in a full season, let alone the 56-game 2020-21 schedule, so expect Watson to experience regression eventually.

EDGE Analysis

Watson picked up the secondary helper on Brady Tkachuk's second-period goal. In his first year with the Senators, Watson has two points, 14 hits and six PIM through five contests. He's seen only minimal usage on the fourth line -- he entered Saturday averaging 10:35 per game. Watson can be an effective real-life depth scorer, but that level of play isn't enough for most fantasy managers to consider.
