Pageau scored two goals on seven shots, including the overtime winner, in a 3-2 victory over the Panthers on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Pageau gained some renown due to postseason heroics last year, but the 25-year-old has yet to score more than 19 goals on a season. This likely won't be the year where he hits the 20-goal threshold either, as he only has 14 at the moment. He also only has 134 shots in 73 games, so the seven shots in this one was an anomaly.

Pageau scored a goal on two shots while adding three hits, a blocked shot and a plus-1 rating in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
The goal was only his seventh of the season, but it did give the Sens a lead that they would eventually squander in the third period. Pageau's spot on the depth chart doesn't afford him many prime scoring opportunities -- he hasn't picked up a power-play point since 2015-16 -- but if Derick Brassard gets dealt away by the trade deadline, Pageau could move into a top-six role to close out the campaign.

Pageau failed to mark the scoresheet and recorded just a single shot through 16:03 of ice time during Thursday's 3-2 loss to Boston.
EDGE Analysis
The center missed the previous three games with an upper-body injury and was considered a surprise addition to the lineup. He enters the All-Star break with an underwhelming six goals and 15 points through 43 games, and it's looking more and more likely that his 2014-15 showing (43 points) was a statistical outlier. Additionally, considering how poorly the Senators are playing, there aren't many fantasy settings where Pageau is worth a roster spot.

Pageau (upper body) will play in Thursday's game against the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
This is rather surprising given that Senators coach Guy Boucher told reporters Monday that there would be "slim to no chance" that Pageau would be ready to return ahead of the All-Star break. Still, we're talking about a guy who is starting a whopping 65.6 of his even-strength shifts in the defensive zone this season, and that's not a favorable setup in the fantasy realm. Pageau has just 15 points (six goals, nine assists) through 42 games.

Pageau (upper body) has little to no chance of returning before the All-Star break according to head coach Guy Boucher, TSN 1200 reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Senators have three games before the break, and they will have to plan to be without Pageau for all three of them. That would make Tuesday the 30th the soonest the 25-year-old could return. He's already missed two games with this injury.

Pageau (upper body) is listed on injured reserve, per the NHL's official media site.
EDGE Analysis
Pageau is expected to be sidelined for at least one week due to his upper-body ailment, so this move doesn't come as much of a surprise. Filip Chlapik will round out the Senators' depth down the middle until Pageau is given the green light.

Pageau (upper body) is expected to miss at least a week's worth of action, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pageau is one of the Ottawa's top faceoff men, having won 282 of 531 draws for a success rate of 53.1 percent. Without JPG, the Senators will rely on prospect Filip Chlapik to round out the forward group at the center spot.

Pageau scored the game-winning goal in Saturday's NHL100 Classic against the Canadiens. The Senators won 3-0.
EDGE Analysis
Pageau delivered a sweet tip on an Erik Karlsson low wrist shot from the right point. It was just Pageau's second point in his last 13 games and that makes him a non-viable fantasy option right now.

Pageau scored a goal in Thursday's overtime loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Pageau picked up the rebound off a shot from the point and backhanded it past the outstretched blocker of Darcy Kuemper for his third goal of the year. The tally ended a nine-game goalless streak for the center. Despite the slump, the Ontario native is actually ahead of his pace last season in which he racked up 33 points in 82 outings.

Pageau recorded an assist and won eight of eleven faceoffs during Saturday's 4-3 triumph over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
The pesky forward is producing at a fairly high clip with a goal and nine points in 16 games thus far in 2017-18. His value is still limited to deeper leagues where his contributions in hits (32) and blocked shots (15) are more rewarded.
