Turris (finger) will take part in Tuesday's clash with Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
The 2007 first-round pick centered the team's top line and was included in the second power-play unit during Tuesday's morning skate, meaning he'll be placed in situations where he has a good chance to get on the scoresheet in his return to the lineup. With 22 goals and 22 assists in 64 games this season, Turris is a solid option in any fantasy format.

Turris (finger) should make his return Tuesday against Tampa Bay according to GM Pierre Dorion, Bruce Garrioch of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The center has been a critical piece of the Senators offense this season, and his 44 points in 64 games have made him a viable fantasy option as well. While its no guarantee that he'll suit up Tuesday, owners should be hopeful, and if he doesn't return then, he'll have a good shot at coming back Thursday against Chicago.

Turris (finger) will sit out another contest Saturday, Dean Brown of TSN 1200 reports.
EDGE Analysis
This was expected to be the case, as coach Guy Boucher announced Wednesday that the talented pivot could miss the three game road-trip that wraps up Saturday -- indeed, he was sidelined for Wednesday's contest in Dallas and Thursday's in Arizona. Fortunately for the Senators, Zack Smith is versatile and capable of holding down the center spot while Derick Brassard and Jean-Gabriel Pageau assume a top-six role in Turris' stead.

Turris (finger) is "highly likely" to miss Thursday's game against the Coyotes, per coach Guy Boucher, the Ottawa Citizen reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turris' ailing finger could keep him out for the rest of the road trip, with the final stop taking place in Colorado on Saturday. The bench boss has flirted with the idea of plugging Chris DiDomenico into the lineup for his first career contest, but Wednesday's lineup featured an extra defenseman with Zack Smith taking some draws that would have originally gone to Turris. Look for the Senators to closely monitor the scoring pivot, with Tuesday's home game against the Lightning being his most realistic target date for a return.

Turris (finger) could miss up to three games -- including Wednesday night's contest against the Stars, Dean Brown of TSN 1200 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turris raised a collective brow across the fantasy hockey landscape when he wasn't spotted at morning skate Wednesday. Details are still unfolding, but it's worth noting that Ottawa's next three opponents (Dallas, Arizona and Colorado) have effectively been ruled out of playoff contention, making it unlikely that Turris would be rushed back to face any of those squads. It remains to be seen who will replace the top-six playmaker in the lineup, but the Senators could always go the route of starting an extra defenseman.

Turris is dealing with a finger injury with more updates pending, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gord Wilson of TSN 1200 noted that Turris was absent from morning skate Wednesday, ahead of a road contest against the Stars. This is a situation worth monitoring as Turris is a top-six pivot currently ranking third on the team -- along with Mike Hoffman -- with 44 points (22 goals, 22 assists) plus he's been consistently deployed on the first power-play unit. Look out for that update closer to puck drop.

Turris netted the game-winning goal Sunday against the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Turris had a very productive night, firing six shots on goal and picking up two PIM. The 27-year-old has struck three times in his last six games and has hit the 20-goal mark for the third time in his career. His 43 points aren't superstar caliber, but Turris is a lethal goal-scorer who centers the top line and plays on the power play with Erik Karlsson. Keep him rolling, as the Senators are right in the thick of the playoff race and will depend on Turris heavily down the stretch.

Turris picked up a goal and an assist -- both on the power play -- en route to a 5-2 victory over Tampa Bay on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The results haven't quite been spectacular, but Turris has still rolled along at a more-than-respectable clip, having netted 36 points (evenly split between goals and assists) in 49 contests. Even though his career-high 17.3 shooting percentage could be in for a dip, Turris should remain a strong producer as long as he gets to keep seeing time with the similarly gifted Mike Hoffman and Mark Stone.

Turris collected two assists (one on the power play) in the second period of Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
They came just 1:29 apart on goals by Mike Hoffman and Bobby Ryan, pushing the pivot's point streak to four games and six points. He's come back strong from last year's disappointing and injury-shortened campaign, as Turris already has more goals (15 to 13) and points (31 to 30) than he did in 2015-16, and that's all come in 15 fewer games.

Turris scored his 15th goal of the season in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
The snipe stretched his current point streak to three games and four points (two goals, two assists). Turris is headed to his first-ever 30-goal campaign and that's a relatively rare feat in today's NHL. Use him well.
