Norris picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Friday's 5-3 win over the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
The 21-year-old has landed the plum assignment of centering Brady Tkachuk and Drake Batherson, and Norris cashed in with his first NHL points. Norris was part of the Senators' haul in the Erik Karlsson trade with the Sharks after being the 19th overall pick in the 2017 draft, and it looks like he's going to be given every chance to start paying dividends this season.

The Senators reassigned Norris to AHL Belleville on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Norris' latest stint with the parent club lasted two games, though the 20-year-old saw significant ice time in both of those contests. The Senators seemingly want Norris to get more seasoning in the minors for now, but he should be one of the top candidates for a promotion in the event Ottawa needs another forward at some point.

Norris was called up from AHL Belleville on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Norris logged 15:16 of ice time in his lone NHL game this season, in which he tallied four shots, two blocks and one hit. If Anthony Duclair (ankle) remains unavailable, Norris figures to slot into a bottom-six role versus Vancouver on Thursday.

The Senators reassigned Norris to AHL Belleville on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The 20-year-old suited up in his NHL debut during Saturday's game against Montreal, racking up four shots, one hit and two blocks across 15:16 of ice time. It's likely that Norris could be back up with the big club soon, but for the time being, he'll head to the AHL, where he's racked up 58 points in 51 games this campaign.

Norris made his NHL debut Saturday in a 3-0 loss to Montreal.
EDGE Analysis
His mates swiped his helmet before the game, so the rookie had to take the pregame skate without it. Norris' grin was huge. He then played 15:16, finishing with four shots and two blocks. He's been outstanding in the AHL and is generally considered to be the Sens' second-best prospect (behind Drake Batherson). Nice debut.

Ottawa promoted Norris from AHL Belleville on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Norris has been one of the best forwards in the AHL in 2019-20, racking up 30 goals and 58 points in 51 games with Belleville. The 2017 first-round pick could make his NHL debut as soon as Saturday against Montreal, and he'll be a name to keep an eye on heading into next season's fantasy drafts.

Norris picked up a goal and an assist in AHL Belleville's 3-0 win over Rockford on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
We have just about reached the point in which Ottawa will have to give serious consideration to recalling Norris. The 20-year-old first-year pro leads all AHL rookies in goals (22) and points (40). His nine markers with the man advantage are also tops in the league. His production has come in just 41 games. Originally a first round pick (19th overall) of the Sharks in 2017, Norris was part of the package shipped to the Senators in the Erik Karlsson deal.

Norris signed a three-year, entry-level contract with Ottawa, the club announced Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Norris was acquired at the beginning of the 2018-19 season, in the deal that saw Sens captain Erik Karlsson shipped to San Jose. The 19-year-old is coming off a sophomore campaign at the University of Michigan that featured 10 goals and nine assists in 17 contests. Fans in Ottawa should get their first look at Norris in a Senators uniform this summer when the youngster participates in the team's summer development camp, scheduled to commence on June 25. Norris is coming off an injury and therefore could be limited in the early stages of camp.

The Senators announced Thursday that they had acquired Norris as part of a deal that sends Erik Karlsson to the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Ottawa's acquisition of Norris makes it clear that the Senators are focused on the long-term future, as Norris is just 19 and remains with the University of Michigan for his sophomore season. He projects as a solid second-line player once he's developed, but he's not going to be of any help to the Senators or to fantasy rosters this year as he focuses on leading the Wolverines back to the Frozen Four.
