Tierney registered an assist Wednesday in a 2-1 loss to the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
With consideration to Tierney's seven points and career-high shooting percentage (16.7), he makes for an excellent, low-cost option in DFS contests. Tierney skates on the fourth line but produces at a relatively high level.

Tierney scored a goal on his only shot and had two PIM in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Tierney foiled Connor Hellebuyck's shutout bid with just under three minutes remaining, scoring on a redirection while driving to the net. It was the third goal in four games for Ottawa's third-line center, who's managed to score on all three of his shots on goal early in the season. Even once regression inevitably hits, Tierney is a solid bottom-six player who had 11 goals and 37 points in 71 games a year ago.

Tierney (undisclosed) was back on the ice for Wednesday's practice session, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tierney retook his spot on the third line after linking up with the first group. The 26-year-old center registered 37 points in 71 contests last year and figures to produce at a similar rate in 2020-21, starting with Friday's clash with the Maple Leafs.

Tierney (undisclosed) was on the ice with the Senators' second practice group Thursday, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tierney was still unable to join the main group but the fact that he is at least skating is a good sign. Still, there is just over a week left until the season opener versus Toronto on Jan. 15. The 26-year-old center garnered 11 goals and 26 helpers last year and should be capable of producing at a similar rate in a top-six role this season.

Tierney is dealing with a minor, undisclosed injury and wasn't on the ice Saturday, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tierney isn't expected to be out much longer. The 26-year-old center signed a two-year, $7 million contract with the Senators back in October, and he should push for a third-line role once he's back to full health.

Tierney agreed to terms on a two-year, $7.0 million contract with Ottawa on Monday, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tierney failed to register a third straight 40-point season this year by just three points and likely would have reached that threshold were it not for the league going on hiatus. The center figures to continue filling a third-line role for the club this season and could push for a bigger role throughout the year, including logging more minutes on the power play.

Tierney finished the season with 11 goals and 37 points in 71 games.
EDGE Analysis
Tierney likely would have cracked the 40-point mark for a third straight campaign had the NHL's regular season not ended prematurely. The 26-year-old pivot will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and the Senators have a ton of young talent at forward, particularly down the middle, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Tierney playing elsewhere in 2020-21.

Tierney has seven points in his last nine games, his strongest stretch of the year.
EDGE Analysis
Given that he has just 37 points all season, this could be quite the finish if regular-season games are not completed. However, it's probably not sustainable when hockey resumes, given that it took so long for it to occur. Look at Tierney as more of an option for deeper leagues in 2020-21.

Tierney dished out three helpers in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Tierney had just four assists without a goal in 13 previous February contests, so this bushel of apples came out of nowhere. It's still hard to trust Tierney despite his prominent role in Ottawa's depleted forward group, but this was a nice night.
