The Senators reassigned Burgdoerfer to AHL Belleville on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Burgdoerfer worked into three games during this NHL stint and added the necessary physical tough that was expected, dishing out 14 hits while averaging 10:11 per contest. The roster freezes Dec. 19, so there's a good chance Burgdoerfer stays in the AHL until after Christmas.

Burgdoerfer was recalled from AHL Belleville on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Burgdoerfer has played five NHL games over the last three seasons and has one assist to show for it. The Senators have four players on injured reserve and could use the depth, but fantasy owners shouldn't think about Burgdoerfer at this time.

Burgdoerfer was returned to AHL Belleville on Saturday,

EDGE Analysis

Burgdoerfer was called up ahead of Saturday's 6-2 home win over the Sharks, but he didn't end up playing in that one. The American defenseman is merely an organizational depth option at this juncture.

Burgdoerfer has been called up from AHL Belleville Brent Wallace of TSN.ca reports, adding that the defenseman likely won't play Saturday afternoon against the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Even with blueliner Matt Lajoie (undisclosed) considered a game-time decision, Burgdoerfer isn't the first option to tag into the lineup if need be. Instead, that honor reportedly would go to Justin Falk, who signed a two-way deal Thursday.

Ottawa reassigned Burgdoerfer to AHL Belleville on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Burgdoerfer has been a healthy scratch for the Senators' last three games, so this move doesn't come as a surprise. The veteran blueliner will return to a prominent role with AHL Belleville, where he's tallied two points in 10 games this campaign.

Burgdoerfer was called up from AHL Belleville on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Burgdoerfer will likely compete with Nick Paul to see who gets into the lineup against the Sabres on Thursday. Through the first 10 games of the minor-league season, the 29-year-old defender notched one goal and one helper and is unlikely to offer much in terms of offensive production if he cracks the lineup.

Burgdoerfer was reassigned to AHL Belleville on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old defenseman snagged his first career point Tuesday evening, notching an assist in a 7-4 road win over the Lightning. A 29-year-old without a stable role in the NHL isn't going to warrant much attention from a fantasy perspective, so this news is more of an FYI to Senators fans.

Burgdoerfer was recalled Monday from AHL Belleville, Brent Wallace of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burgdoerfer has only skated in one game this season in the NHL, and although he didn't record a point, he was able to throw the body around and log three hits in 10:23 of ice time. In the minors this season the 29-year-old's notched 13 points (five goals, eight assists) in 55 games, and will likely serve as a depth defensemen during his time in the majors.

Burgdoerfer was reassigned to AHL Belleville on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The move to package Burgdoerfer off to the minors could be an indication that Johnny Oduya (undisclosed) is nearing a return to the lineup. The 28-year-old Burgdoerfer saw action in just one game during his call-up, in which he logged 10:23 of ice time and registered three hits and two blocks. If the Pennsylvania native does get brought back to Ottawa again this season, it will likely be the result of an additional blue line injury.

Burgdoerfer was brought back to Ottawa on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

This was the one surprise the Senators made, as Burgdoerfer didn't spend much time on the ice and seemed like more of a depth guy for the organization. But he will return to Ottawa, and his return might trigger a corresponding move in the near future.
