Sanderson registered a goal and an assist in the 2-1 overtime win over the Penguins on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
It was a goaltending duel between Joonas Korpisalo and Tristan Jarry until Sanderson broke the goose egg halfway in the third period. He provided a secondary assist in overtime to snap a seven-game losing skid for Ottawa. The 2020 first-round draft pick finished with four shots and a plus-2 rating in 23:02 of ice time to go along with his two points. Sanderson is now on a modest three-game point streak, scoring one goal and three assists over that span. The 21-year old defenseman may eventually be a star but right now he is only averaging half-a-point a game on the season.

Sanderson posted a power-play assist, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Sanderson has four assists, including two on the power play, over his last 11 outings. He's had trouble stringing offense together for much of the campaign, but he's played well enough all around to maintain a top-four role. Sanderson is at 28 points (eight on the power play) with 122 shots on net, 107 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating through 58 appearances.

Sanderson (undisclosed) is scheduled to meet with a doctor Wednesday, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.
EDGE Analysis
Sanderson, Thomas Chabot (undisclosed) and Josh Norris (upper body) are all being checked for injuries following Tuesday's game versus the Predators. Sanderson had a power-play assist and three blocked shots in 25:06 of ice time Tuesday, so it's unclear when the injury occurred. The results of the tests will likely determine his availability for Friday's game versus the Coyotes.

Sanderson recorded an assist in Monday's 4-2 win over the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Sanderson set up a Tim Stutzle tally in the first period. The helper ended a five-game slump for Sanderson, who also missed three games with a lower-body injury in that span. The 21-year-old blueliner has had more positives than negatives in his second campaign, racking up 25 points, 100 shots on net, 91 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 49 appearances in a top-four role. Just six of his points have come on the power play, so there may still be some room for him to grow his game in that area.

Sanderson (lower body) is slated to return Saturday versus Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Sanderson, who missed the Senators' last three contests, has seven goals and 24 points in 47 outings in 2023-24. He's projected to play alongside Artem Zub (lower body), who will also draw back into the lineup. Jacob Bernard-Docker will be a healthy scratch Saturday.

Sanderson (lower body) is looking to rejoin the lineup for the Senators' two-game Florida road trip, Claire Hanna of TSN reports Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Based on his timeline, Sanderson looks set to be sidelined for at least three more games before the team heads to the Sunshine State to face Tampa Bay and Florida on Monday and Tuesday, respectively. With Artem Zub (lower body) also dealing with an injury, the Senators could be forced to utilize just five blueliners against Columbus on Tuesday.

Sanderson (lower body) isn't expected to play Saturday versus Toronto, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sanderson sustained the injury during Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over Detroit. He has seven goals, 24 points, 26 hits and 89 blocks in 47 appearances this season. Travis Hamonic's (lower body) status for Saturday's contest remains to be seen, but if Ottawa has to play without Hamonic and Sanderson, then the Senators will likely need to recall a blueliner from the minors.

Sanderson (lower body) won't return to Wednesday's game versus the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Sanderson sustained the injury in the first period and was ruled out during the second. He may benefit from the All-Star break -- the Senators don't play again until Feb. 10 against the Maple Leafs, giving him time to heal without missing games if it's a minor injury.

Sanderson produced a goal on a team-high six shots on net while adding an assist, two PIM and a plus-1 rating in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
It was the first multi-point performance since Dec. 19 for the 21-year-old blueliner, and his second-period tally snapped a 16-game goal drought. The Senators are trying not to overwork Sanderson in his second NHL season -- he saw less than 20:00 of ice time Tuesday for the first time in seven games, and Thomas Chabot handled duties on the first power-play unit -- but Sanderson's stayed relatively productive with eight points in the last 14 contests, including three helpers with the man advantage.
