Gilbert was called up from AHL Belleville on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The Senators may need an extra defenseman Saturday, depending on Tyler Kleven (lower body), who has missed the last two games and is considered day-to-day. Gilbert has played only one game at the NHL level this season, and he has been a healthy scratch on 11 occasions heading into Saturday's action.

Gilbert was loaned to AHL Belleville on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Gilbert was recalled Nov. 29 when Thomas Chabot went on injured reserve with an upper-body injury. Chabot is likely to return to action this weekend, making Gilbert redundant at this time. Gilbert played only once during his nine-game recall, going minus-1 with one blocked shot in 13:50 of action.

Gilbert was recalled from AHL Belleville on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The Senators recalled the defenseman 12 days after dealing Maxence Guenette to Philadelphia for Gilbert. The 29-year-old Gilbert played four regular-season games with Ottawa in 2024-25, picking up one assist, and he signed with the Flyers in the offseason as an unrestricted free agent. The Senators placed defenseman Thomas Chabot (upper body) on injured reserve in a corresponding move.

Gilbert was traded to Ottawa by Philadelphia on Monday in exchange for Maxence Guenette.
EDGE Analysis
Gilbert spent part of the 2024-25 campaign with the Senators, logging four regular-season games in which he notched one assist, 11 hits and four shots after he was dealt from the Sabres at last season's trade deadline. Even with the move to a new organization, the 29-year-old blueliner will likely start in the minors with AHL Belleville.

Gilbert was assigned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
In a corresponding move, the Flyers recalled Emil Andrae from the minors. Gilbert was a healthy scratch for the first two games of the campaign. He had six assists, nine shots on net, 36 blocked shots and 63 hits across 29 regular-season appearances between Buffalo and Ottawa in 2024-25.

Gilbert was put on waivers by Philadelphia on Saturday, according to PuckPedia.
EDGE Analysis
Gilbert had six assists, 50 PIM, 63 hits and 36 blocks across 29 regular-season appearances with Buffalo and Ottawa in 2024-25. The 28-year-old could be claimed off waivers by another team. However, even in that scenario, Gilbert is unlikely to serve as more than a third-pairing option while potentially spending some time as a healthy scratch. If Gilbert clears waivers, he'll report to AHL Lehigh Valley.

Gilbert signed a one-year, $875,000 contract with the Flyers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Gilbert accounted for six helpers, 50 PIM, 36 blocked shots, 63 hits and a minus-3 rating over 29 regular-season appearances between the Sabres and Senators in 2024-25. The left-shot defenseman is unlikely to receive anything more than third-pairing minutes with his new team, and he could serve as a periodic healthy scratch in 2025-26.

Gilber logged three shots on goal, three hits and four blocked shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
This was just his second game since he was traded to the Senators from the Sabres at the deadline. Gilbert's physicality would appear to be a natural fit on the Senators' third pairing, but they've instead rolled with Tyler Kleven and Nikolas Matinpalo in those spots, leaving Gilbert to keep a seat warm in the press box. Over 27 appearances this season, Gilbert has five assists, 50 PIM, eight shots on net, 58 hits, 33 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating.

Gilbert, Dylan Cozens and a 2026 second-round pick were traded to the Senators from the Sabres on Friday in exchange for Josh Norris and Jacob Bernard-Docker.
EDGE Analysis
Gilbert made 25 appearances for the Sabres this year and logged five assists, 52 hits, 29 blocked shots and 50 PIM while averaging 10:04 of ice time. The 28-year-old has picked up four points over eight appearances since the start of February, and he should have an opportunity to earn time in Buffalo's lineup late in the year.
