Norris scored a goal and added two assists in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Norris has played well since returning from a 15-game absence Thursday against the Panthers, picking up two goals and four points through four contests. The 22-year-old forward will look to continue his hot streak in a favorable home matchup with a Seattle squad surrendering 3.41 goals per game on the road this year, ninth most in the NHL.

Norris (shoulder) returned to action Thursday in a 3-0 loss to Florida.
EDGE Analysis
He had two shots in 15:46 after missing 15 games with a shoulder injury. Norris is going to take a few games to get up to speed, so roll another option until his game is spooled up.

Norris (shoulder) will be back in the lineup against the Panthers on Thursday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
EDGE Analysis
Norris will get back on the ice for the first time since Jan. 27 against the Hurricanes, a stretch of 15 games on the shelf due to his shoulder problem. In addition to linking up with Brady Tkachuk on the top line, Norris figures to be in line for some power-play minutes. In just 36 games this year, the 22-year-old center has already set a new personal best with 18 goals and should be a lock to reach the 20-goal threshold for the first time in his NHL career.

Norris (shoulder) started skating in a non-contact jersey Tuesday, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Norris has missed the Sens' previous 12 contests due to his shoulder problem but is making progress in his recovery. Still, the 22-year-old center remains without a clear timeline to get back into a game for the club. Whenever the Michigan native is given the green light, he'll look to pick up where he left off having secured 26 points in 36 games to start the year.

Norris (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, per CapFriendly.
EDGE Analysis
Norris is still about two weeks away from returning to action, so his placement on IR clears a roster spot for the Senators. The 22-year-old should be an option in late February if his recovery goes well.

Norris (shoulder) is expected to miss another two weeks but avoided any structural damage, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Norris was previously reported to still be 3-4 weeks away from returning, so it would appear that he is making some solid strides in his recovery. In 36 games this year, the 22-year-old center has tallied 18 goals, a personal best, and eight assists and would appear to be a near-lock to reach the 20-goal mark this year.

If Norris (shoulder) doesn't require surgery, he'll still be sidelined for another 3-4 weeks, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
If Norris does end up requiring surgery, it could be of the season-ending variety. The 22-year-old forward is seeking a second opinion, so a more definitive timetable for his recovery should be established in the coming days. Norris has racked up 18 goals and 26 points through 36 games this campaign, so if he's unable to return this year, it'll be a big loss for the Senators and fantasy managers alike.

Norris (shoulder) is not expected to return for at least another week, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Norris has averaged 18:57 of ice time -- 3:16 during the man advantage -- and generated 26 points over his first 35 appearances this season. The 22-year-old exited Thursday's game against Carolina late in the first period after suffering a shoulder injury. After his MRI on Friday, it has been deemed likely that the Michigan-born center will remain out until after the All-Star break. Ottawa's first game after the break is scheduled for Feb. 7 against New Jersey.

Norris (upper body) will have an MRI on Friday to determine the severity of his injury, Ian Mendes of TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
EDGE Analysis
While the team hopes Norris' injury isn't too serious, he should probably be considered questionable at best heading into Saturday's clash with the Ducks. If the center is sidelined for any length of time, both Tim Stutzle and Chris Tierney should be in the mix to jump up to the first line. With Drake Batherson (ankle) and Connor Brown (jaw) also dealing with serious injuries, the Senators find themselves pretty thin among their forward complement.

Norris (upper body) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Norris took a hit and crashed hard into the boards late in the first period. With Drake Batherson (ankle) leaving the Senators' last game, the team's forward depth is being tested recently. More information on Norris' status should surface ahead of Saturday's game versus the Ducks.
