Norris (undisclosed) won't play against Vegas on Saturday, per Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News.
EDGE Analysis
Norris will miss at least one game after sitting out Friday's practice. He has notched one goal and one assist in three games with the Sabres since being acquired from Ottawa at the trade deadline. With Norris and JJ Peterka (lower body) unavailable, Jordan Greenway and Alex Tuch will skate alongside Tage Thompson on Buffalo's top line versus the Golden Knights.

Norris is being checked by the Sabres' medical staff for an undisclosed injury, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports Friday, making him questionable to face Vegas on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Norris hasn't been officially ruled out against the Golden Knights but fantasy players may want to consider benching him in their fantasy lineups just to be safe. In his three appearances for Buffalo, the 25-year-old center has garnered one goal, one assist and two hits while filling a first-line role. If Norris can't play Saturday, the team may consider moving Tage Thompson to center while shifting Alex Tuch up to the top line.

Norris logged an assist in Monday's 3-2 win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Norris needed just two games to get onto the scoresheet in his Sabres tenure. The 25-year-old center set up Tage Thompson for a third-period goal, which was the game-winner. Over 55 appearances between Buffalo and Ottawa, Norris has logged 34 points, 95 shots on net, 134 hits and a minus-5 rating. If he stays on the Sabres' top line, he'll carry a little more fantasy value than he did toward the end of his time with the Senators.

Norris, along with Jacob Bernard-Docker, was acquired by the Sabres from the Senators on Friday in a swap for Dylan Cozens, Dennis Gilbert and a 2026 second-round pick.
EDGE Analysis
Norris is a slightly risky play for the Sabres given his injury history - he hasn't reached the 60-game mark in either of the previous two seasons - but offers more scoring upside at this point. Through 53 games this year, the 25-year-old center has already notched 20 goals, including six with the man advantage. With Buffalo, Norris could supplant Jiri Kulich as the No. 1 center and get minutes alongside Tage Thompson at both even strength and with the man advantage.

Norris produced a goal and an assist in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
It's the first points in three games for Norris since he returned from an upper-body injury, and Wednesday's tally was his 20th of the season -- the second time in his career he's reached that mark. The 25-year-old center has had trouble staying in the lineup so far in 2025 -- he's missed eight of the Senators' last 14 games -- but when he's been on the ice, he's been productive. Over his last 13 appearances dating back to Jan. 11, Norris has delivered six goals and 11 points with 33 hits and a plus-6 rating.

Norris (upper body) had three hits and two blocked shots in 16:00 of ice time Saturday in a 5-3 win over San Jose.
EDGE Analysis
He has missed six games with the injury. Norris has talent, but his injury history is stunning. Last season, he had a third surgery on his left shoulder, and he missed almost the entire 2022-23 season due to a shoulder injury. Before that, Norris delivered a tantalizing 35 goals in 66 games in 2021-22, and fantasy managers starting lining up for his services. At this point, you need to temper any expectations you have for him. Norris has 19 goals in 51 games this season, and if he can regain his form, he could pot another eight or nine. But that means he'd need to stay healthy, and that's always a risk.

Norris (upper body) will play Saturday against San Jose, Claire Hanna of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Norris will rejoin the Senators after missing the last six games with an injury. The 25-year-old center, who should return to a top-six role, has 19 goals and 31 points in 50 games this season.

Norris (upper body) will not be an option against Winnipeg on Wednesday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
EDGE Analysis
In addition to Norris, the Senators will be without Brady Tkachuk (lower body) and Shane Pinto (upper body), forcing them to utilize seven defensemen versus the Jets. It will be the sixth straight game on the shelf for the 25-year-old Norris, though that hasn't stopped him from reaching the 30-point threshold for the fourth time in his five-year NHL career. WIth just one more tally, Norris will have scored 20 goals this year, a mark he is more than capable of reaching when he can stay healthy.

Norris (upper body) participated in Tuesday's practice and might return to the lineup versus Winnipeg on Wednesday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ottawa will evaluate Norris further Wednesday morning before determining his availability. Still, he appears close to being an option after missing the last five games. Norris has produced 19 goals, 31 points, 92 shots on net, 43 blocked shots and 126 hits in 50 appearances this season. Once healthy, he will occupy a top-six role and see time on the power play.

Norris (undisclosed) will miss Saturday's clash against Montreal, per Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Norris is set to miss his fifth straight game. He has 19 goals and 31 points across 50 outings in 2024-25. The 25-year-old will likely serve on the second line once he's ready to return.
