Chychrun scored a goal and an assist on two shots, fueling the Senators to a 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Chychrun scored his first goal as a Senator with a wrist shot from the top of the faceoff circle that beat Elvis Merzlikins to give Ottawa a 4-1 lead. He would also add an assist on Tim Stutzle's goal in the first period. On the season, Chychrun has eight goals and 30 points in 38 games.

Chychrun played 19:16 and finished plus-1 in a 5-3 win over the Rangers on Thursday. It was his Senators debut.
EDGE Analysis
Chychrun was solid in his debut and didn't really stand out. That's pretty good for a guy who hasn't practiced with his new team or even played in about three weeks. Ottawa has been Chychrun's second home for a long time -- his dad is from the city, and his grandfather and sister live there. So pulling on a Sens jersey is like a dream come true for him. Chychrun will likely soon find his footing and his offense alongside the emerging young powerhouse in Canada's capital.

Chychrun will play on the third pairing in his Senators debut Thursday versus the Rangers, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.
EDGE Analysis
Chychrun was acquired from the Coyotes on Wednesday after an eight-game absence for asset protection. The 24-year-old defenseman appears set to be eased in with his new team, though it's expected he'll also see some power-play time.

Chychrun was traded from the Coyotes to the Senators on Wednesday in exchange for a 2023 first-round pick, a 2024 second-round pick (via the Capitals) and a second-round pick in 2026.
EDGE Analysis
The biggest blue-line target for the trade deadline is now on the move, as Chychrun will join a Senators team on the upswing. The first two picks are conditional -- the 2023 first-rounder is top-five protected, and the 2024 second-rounder could become a first if the Senators make the Eastern Conference Finals this season. It's unclear if Chychrun will be ready to play Thursday versus the Rangers after the Coyotes scratched him for the last eight games, but he could be in line to debut Saturday versus the Blue Jackets. The 24-year-old defenseman has 28 points in 36 contests this season, and he joins a defense corps that also features Thomas Chabot and Jake Sanderson at its core.

Chychrun (not injury related) won't play this week, per Todd Walsh of Bally Sports Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
The Coyotes play eight times, including a matchup with Nashville on Monday, before the March 3 trade deadline. If he isn't moved before then, Chychrun could be sitting for a little while longer. He has accounted for seven goals, 28 points, 114 shots on goal, 56 blocks and 43 hits in 36 contests this campaign.

Chychrun (not injury related) will be a game-time decision Monday against Nashville, Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chychrun did not take part in Monday's morning skate. He was a healthy scratch Saturday against St. Louis for trade-related reasons. It wouldn't be a surprise if he ended up sitting again Monday. Chychrun has amassed 28 points, 114 shots on goal, 56 blocks and 43 hits in 36 games this season.

Chychrun will be a healthy scratch Saturday versus St. Louis for what the Coyotes called "trade-related reasons."
EDGE Analysis
Chychrun has seven goals, 28 points, 43 hits and 56 blocks in 36 games while averaging 23:16 of ice time this season. It's not guaranteed that Chychrun will be traded in the near future, but the Coyotes' statement certainly makes it sound like they are at least close to moving him. Toronto, Boston, LA, Florida and Edmonton are among the teams that have been previously cited as potential destinations for the 24-year-old. Meanwhile, Dysin Mayo was summoned from AHL Tucson on Saturday.

Chychrun notched an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Chychrun set up Clayton Keller's tally just 1:28 into the game. The helper was Chychrun's third point in two games since the All-Star break. The 24-year-old defenseman has the spotlight all to himself on the Coyotes' blue line with Shayne Gostisbehere (upper body) out, and Chychrun is making the most of it. He has seven goals, 21 helpers, 114 shots on net, 56 blocked shots, 43 hits and a plus-8 rating through 36 appearances.

The 24-year-old defenseman had gone 14 games without a goal, though he did have seven assists in that span. For the season, he's at seven tallies, 27 points (seven on the power play), 111 shots on net, 55 blocked shots, 43 hits, 22 PIM and a plus-6 rating through 35 appearances.
