McCormick was recalled from AHL Bellevile on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Six Ottawa forwards are currently dealing with an injury, including two new ones in Nate Thompson (lower body) and Derrick Brassard (undisclosed). It only makes sense, therefore, that the team would have to use a recall just to get enough forwards in the lineup and McCormick is the lucky man this time around. The Wisconsin native hasn't been particularly effective in the three games he's played for the big club to this point in the season, so don't expect him to suddenly break out.

McCormick's call-up from AHL Belleville has been rescinded as the result of travel issues, and he'll no longer be on the active roster for Tuesday's road game against the Blues, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
According to this latest report, rookie Erik Burgdoerfer will play instead, but neither player warrants much attention in fantasy at this juncture.

McCormick was recalled from AHL Belleville on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick will travel to join the team for Tuesday's clash in St. Louis and will slot into the lineup if he arrives in time. If not, the Sens will suit up a seventh defenseman (Erik Burgdoerfer). A bevy of injuries has opened the door for McCormick to get another shot at earning a bigger role within the organization.

McCormick was reassigned to AHL Belleville on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick was able to crack the lineup for Monday's blowout loss to the Canadiens, but just to be an enforcer -- the Wisconsin native racked up 14 penalty minutes in just 1:04 of ice time but apparently failed to provide much of a morale boost. Between his constant transition between the major and minor league and his lack of scoring ability, McCormick is firmly off the fantasy radar.

McCormick was promoted from AHL Belleville on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick is back with the Senators after a brief stint in the minors. The winger's call-up could be an indication that coach Guy Boucher is going to go back to fielding 12 forwards and six defensemen -- rather than utilizing seven blueliners -- for Monday's tilt against the Canadiens. If the 25-year-old is in the game-day lineup versus Montreal, it will likely be in a bottom-six role.

McCormick was reassigned to AHL Belleville on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
He failed to do much in the last two games, as confirmed by his total of two hits and a blocked shot with nothing happening in the attacking zone. However, McCormick should spice things up at hockey's highest level when injuries inevitably strike again.

McCormick was called up from AHL Belleville on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Even though McCormick has been able to produce in the minors notching 69 points in 129 games over the last two seasons, he's struggled to stick onto the NHL roster. The Wisconsin native will likely see some ice time with Ottawa having four starters injured at the moment, but it's uncertain how long he'll last when some of the forward corps start to return to the action.

McCormick was waived for the purpose of being reassigned to AHL Belleville on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The former Ohio State Buckeye signed a two-year deal to remain with the Sens this offseason, despite only featuring in seven games in 2016-17. McCormick hasn't been productive at the NHL level, tallying just four points over 27 games and figures to be a depth option at the most for Ottawa this season.

McCormick signed a two-year extension with the Senators on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
This deal will be a two-way deal in year one, but in year two it will shift into a one-way deal, which will have McCormick playing with the big club all season. In 27 total NHL games, he has scored two goals and added two helpers, while spending 37 minutes in the sin bin. He's still has some time to wait before he can become a true fantasy contributor, but minors production of 21 goals and 15 assists in 66 games last season proves that the potential is there.

McCormick was reassigned to AHL Binghamton on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
This move suggests that McCormick has a short leash as a fringe forward, and his minus-1 rating in Friday's shutout loss to the Hurricanes didn't help matters. Even if he ultimately gets another call-up, you can safely pass over McCormick in all fantasy formats.
