Giroux signed a one-year, $2 million contract with Ottawa on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
If Giroux achieves all of his bonuses, he could earn up to $4.75 million. The 37-year-old forward generated 15 goals, 35 assists and 138 shots on net across 81 appearances in the 2024-25 regular season. Giroux should occupy a top-six role and see time on the power play in the 2025-26 campaign.

Giroux scored a power-play goal Thursday in a 3-2 overtime loss to Toronto. He added an assist.
EDGE Analysis
Giroux fluttered a wrist shot from the point on a second-period, 5-on-3 power play that got past a screened Anthony Stolarz. The 37-year-old winger has three points (one goal, two assists) in his last two games, but it hasn't been enough to carry the Sens to victory. The Leafs lead the series 3-0 with Game 4 on Saturday.

Giroux notched a power-play assist in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
Giroux set up Brady Tkachuk's first career playoff goal at 15:41 of the second period. The 37-year-old Giroux has plenty of postseason experience -- prior to this playoff run, he produced 81 points over 95 playoff contests. Giroux is in a top-six role and on the power play, but the Senators are already in a 2-0 hole in the series, so he may not get much of a chance to add to his postseason numbers if they can't turn things around soon.

Giroux (rest) will play versus Carolina on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Giroux got the night off Tuesday against Chicago as the Senators clinched their spot in the playoffs. Giroux has 15 goals and 35 assists in 80 games this season. He will play on the top line, alongside Brady Tkachuk and Tim Stutzle, and should see time on the first power play.

Giroux will get the night off versus Chicago on Tuesday, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Giroux has appeared in all 80 regular-season games for the Senators this year, so it shouldn't come as a surprise to see the 37-year-old veteran getting the night off. Without Giroux in the lineup, Dylan Cozens and Shane Pinto will step into middle-six roles at center -- though Giroux has also played plenty of wing this year as well.

Giroux registered an assist and blocked two shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Giroux's helper was on Tim Stutzle's game-winning goal in the extra period. Sunday's assist helped bring Giroux's point total to 50 with 35 assists and 15 goals in 80 appearances this season. The 37-year-old winger has now reached the 50-point threshold in each of the past 12 seasons and 14 total times in his illustrious 17-year career. Despite having hot and cold stretches throughout the season, Giroux should finish the fantasy season with solid fantasy value in deeper leagues as he has 11 points in his last 18 games.

Giroux scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Giroux snapped a seven-game goal drought when he scored at 13:46 of the second period to get the Senators on the board. The 37-year-old was alright in March with nine points over 15 appearances. For the season, he's up to 15 goals, 47 points, 130 shots on net, 57 hits and a minus-7 rating over 74 appearances. He's set to miss the 60-point mark for the first time in a full-length season since 2016-17, though he also came up short of that level in the abbreviated 2019-20 and 2020-21 campaigns.

Giroux logged a power-play assist and two blocked shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Giroux's five-game point streak ended in a 5-1 loss to the Avalanche on Thursday, but it didn't take him long to bounce back. He's earned eight points over 11 outings in March, and four of those points have been on the power play. The 37-year-old forward is up to 45 points (15 on the power play), 126 shots on net, 54 hits, 34 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 69 appearances. While he was dropped to the third line Saturday, he led Ottawa forwards with 21:32 of ice time in a close game, so don't be too concerned about his usage just yet.

Giroux scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added two hits in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Giroux has earned five points over his last six outings, including two points with the man advantage. The 37-year-old forward remains steady on offense in a top-six role, though he's been hovering in the 16-17 minute range for ice time in the last couple of weeks, a noticeable drop compared to his 18:42 per game average. Fantasy managers won't mind if the change allows him to stay productive. Giroux is at 13 goals, 42 points, 119 shots on net, 54 hits and a minus-2 rating over 65 appearances.
