Norris scored a power-play goal in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Norris found the twine midway through the third period to give the Senators a 2-1 lead before Claude Giroux closed things out with an empty-netter. This was Norris' 14th goal of the season, and it was the second time he scored in his last four games. However, he's been trending in the wrong direction lately after an impressive start to the campaign. Over his previous 10 contests, Norris has earned just five points, though three of them have come on the power play and one other was a shorthanded goal.

Norris scored a shorthanded goal in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Norris ended a five-game goal drought, his longest of the season, when he buried a shortie at 15:30 of the second period off a feed from Claude Giroux. The 25-year-old Norris has been pretty solid in 2024-25 with 13 goals, 21 points, 66 shots on net, 84 hits, 32 blocked shots, 24 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 33 appearances. He may not be a point-per-game threat, but he offers well-rounded production for fantasy while centering the Senators' second line.

Norris notched a power-play assist, three shots on goal, two blocked shots and two PIM in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Norris got on the scoresheet in consecutive games for the first time since a three-game streak from Nov. 9-14. The center helped out on the second of Drake Batherson's three goals in the game. Norris has been overshadowed by some of the Senators' other forwards, but he's still put up a strong 19 points (eight on the power play) with 56 shots on net, 72 hits, 28 blocked shots, 24 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 28 contests. He had 30 points in 50 regular-season outings last year, so he should be able to surpass that total as long as he stays healthy in 2024-25.

Norris scored a power-play goal in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Norris has cracked the scoresheet thrice over his last six outings, potting four goals and taking 12 shots in that span. The 25-year-old center has been very physical in that span as well, tallying 15 hits and seven blocked shots. Even though most of his fantasy upside will be tied to his scoring figures, Norris can offer extra value in formats that value hits and physicality.

Norris recorded two goals, a plus-2 rating, two PIM, five shots, two hits and one blocked shot in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Norris played a hero role for the Senators in this low-scoring affair, finding twine midway through the first period and scoring the game-winner with only 43 seconds left in the final frame. The 25-year-old playmaker has struggled with consistency of late, but he remains a productive player while anchoring Ottawa's first line. He's notched five goals and two assists across his last 10 appearances.

Norris scored a power-play goal, added four hits and blocked three shots in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Norris has five goals and two assists over his last nine outings. The 25-year-old gave the Senators a 2-0 lead in the first period. For the season, the center has nine goals, six helpers, 42 shots on net, 61 hits, 22 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over 22 appearances. He's earned six of his points on the power play, and he continues to be a key part of Ottawa's top six.

Norris scored a goal on two shots, doled out four hits, added four PIM and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Norris has scored four times and added an assist over the last five games. The only time he was held off the scoresheet in that span was in Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Hurricanes. The 25-year-old center is doing well in a top-six role, racking up eight goals, five assists, 33 shots on net, 46 hits, 16 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 18 contests this season. Center is a deep position in fantasy, but Norris offers enough well-rounded production to be worth a look in most formats.

Norris scored a goal on four shots, dished an assist, added two PIM and logged two hits in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Norris has scored in three straight games and has four points and eight shots in that span. The 25-year-old center has looked good since moving up to the top line in a swap of spots with Tim Stutzle, especially considering Norris was stuck in a four-game dry spell prior to the switch. Norris has seven goals, five helpers, 31 shots on net, 38 hits, 16 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 16 appearances this season.

Norris scored a goal and added three hits in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Norris scored just 41 seconds into the game, and that was ultimately all the support Linus Ullmark needed in the win. This was Norris' second straight game with a goal, which follows a stretch of four contests without a point for the center. He's up to six goals, 10 points, 27 shots on net, 36 hits, 15 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 15 outings this season. The 25-year-old can provide category coverage in fantasy while seeing top-six minutes.

Norris scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Norris broke the deadlock with eight seconds left in the first period, and that goal snapped a four-game scoring drought for the 25-year-old. Norris should continue to have plenty of opportunities to produce due to his role as a top-six forward and power-play threat. He's up to five goals and four assists across 14 contests, and if he stays healthy, he could surpass the 30-point output he recorded in 2023-24.
