Norris (shoulder) is fully involved in practices but is not yet ready to return, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.

EDGE Analysis

Norris has been out since Oct. 22, and it's possible he'll need a handful of practice sessions before he is cleared to return. When he gets back in the lineup, he should be expected to take a top-six role with a large share of power-play time.

Norris (shoulder) is not expected to return anytime soon, Claire Hanna of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Norris visited with a shoulder specialist recently and isn't fully healed yet despite making progress. The Senators hoped that he could return at the end of January but coach D.J. Smith said Tuesday that the team is "not going to put him on a timeline." Norris, who hasn't played since Oct. 22, won't be rushed back into game action.

Norris (shoulder) will travel with the Senators for the team's current two-game road trip, but he won't play in either contest, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although Norris won't be available for either of Ottawa's next two games, this is still an encouraging development, as it suggests he's ramping up his activity with the team in preparation to return to action. Norris picked up two points through the first five games of the season before suffering his long-term shoulder injury.

Norris (shoulder) is practicing in a regular jersey Friday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

EDGE Analysis

Norris started practice in a non-contact jersey but went to the bench and put on a regular jersey. He is practicing on the fifth line, so his return is not imminent, but it is a great sign for the Senators as Norris had 35 goals and 55 points in 66 games last season. He has not played since Oct. 22, but could return sooner than the original prognosis of January or later.

Norris (shoulder) was skating at practice Thursday, according to Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun.

EDGE Analysis

Norris was not participating in any contact as he is rehabbing his shoulder. He has been out since Oct. 22 and will not require surgery, but will continue to strengthen his shoulder for another month before being re-evaluated. Norris has a goal and an assist in five games this season.

Norris (shoulder) won't require surgery after consulting with five doctors and two specialists, Claire Hanna of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Norris, who has been sidelined since Oct. 22, will continue to rehab and strengthen his injured shoulder until January. The Senators will re-evaluate his timetable once the calendar flips to 2023. Norris started the season with one goal and one assist in five games.

Norris will seek a second opinion on his injured shoulder, according to Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun.

EDGE Analysis

Norris is facing surgery but wants to see if he is able to rehab his shoulder without going through the surgical route. At this time, he is in danger of missing the rest of the season, should he undergo the knife. Norris had a goal and an assist in five games this season, after a 35-goal campaign in 2021-22.

Norris (shoulder) is expected to be shelved long term and could be in danger of missing the rest of the season, Ian Mendes of TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

EDGE Analysis

The fact that surgery for Norris remains an option certainly doesn't bode well for the center. Coming off a 35-goal campaign last year, expectations were high for the Michigan native heading into the season. Without Norris in the lineup, Derick Brassard will get the first crack at a second-line role, though Shane Pinto could also push for more opportunities.

Norris (shoulder) will be sidelined for at least two weeks, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ottawa is still waiting on MRI results and could know more about Norris' timetable in the next couple of days. He has been moved to injured reserve, per the NHL media site. The 23-year-old center was injured this past Saturday in a game against Arizona. Norris has one goal and one assist in five appearances this season.

Norris (undisclosed) will undergo an MRI to determine the extent of his injury, reports Elliotte Friedman of Hockey Night in Canada.

EDGE Analysis

The injury appears to be to his wrist. Norris dropped to the ice after a draw during Saturday's game and immediately held his wrist. He left the ice frustrated and was seen pitching his stick down the tunnel as he went to the dressing room. There is already significant swelling, so Ottawa is waiting for that to go down before the MRI can be done.
