Tarasenko scored a goal on five shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Tarasenko briefly restored a three-goal lead for the Senators, though Brayden Point responded 35 seconds later. The goal was Tarasenko's fifth point in the last six games. The 32-year-old was on the top line Monday amid a lineup shuffle that saw him swap places with Drake Batherson. For the season, Tarasenko has 15 goals, 37 points, 100 shots on net, 45 hits and a plus-14 rating through 50 appearances. He's mainly been limited to middle-six usage, though that's not necessarily a bad thing in a forward group as deep as Ottawa's.

Tarasenko scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Saturday's 5-4 victory over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

With just five seconds left in the third period, Tarasenko fought off a check and kept his feet in front of the net, and he got rewarded when a rebound bounced right to him, allowing him to bang home the winner. The veteran winger has a modest three-game point streak going and has three multi-point efforts in the last nine, producing four goals and eight points over that stretch.

Tarasenko logged an assist in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Tarasenko has earned two goals and four assists over his last 10 games. With Mathieu Joseph returning from a lower-body injury, Tarasenko was bumped down to the third line, which could have a negative impact on his production if that move sticks. Tarasenko is at 25 points, 68 shots on net, 31 hits and a plus-9 rating through while averaging 16:12 of ice time per game.

Tarasenko scored two goals on three shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Tarasenko tried to create a third-period comeback, but his second goal was quickly answered by Vancouver to end the push. This was Tarasenko's second multi-goal game of the campaign, both of which have come since the start of December. The winger is up to eight tallies, 24 points, 62 shots on net, 28 hits and a plus-9 rating through 31 appearances in a top-six role.

Tarasenko had two assists Wednesday in a 4-2 victory over Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

He was flying, and he threw around his weight and absolutely flattened Leafs defender Simon Benoit with a check that sent the rookie sprawling. Tarasenko has been a disappointment in Ottawa -- there are games he completely disappears. But he still has 22 points, including 16 assists, in 28 games, including three assists in his last three games. Tarasenko is on a one-year, $5 million deal in Ottawa, so expect him to be on the move if the Sens don't go on a run. Tarasenko's fantasy value will go up in a more-competitive city, especially if it's out of the intense light of a Canadian city.

Tarasenko registered an assist and five shots on goal in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Tarasenko had gone without a point in his last three outings, and he missed two games for personal reasons in the middle of the drought. The 32-year-old winger set up a Drake Batherson tally in the second period of this contest. Tarasenko has been a solid part of the Senators' top six with 20 points, 55 shots on net, 23 hits and a plus-8 rating through 26 games this season.

Tarasenko (personal) was back with the Senators for Monday's practice, according to TSN 1200 Ottawa.

EDGE Analysis

Tarasenko (personal) will not suit up Sunday against Vegas.

EDGE Analysis

Tarasenko has now missed two straight games while away from the team. Ottawa's next game is Tuesday in Arizona but it's unclear when the team expects him to return.

Tarasenko (personal) will not play Friday against Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

Tarasenko will be attending to a family matter and will miss his first game of the 2023-24 campaign. The 32-year-old winger has six goals and 19 points through 24 games, including eight points in his last 11 outings. Rourke Chartier will suit up in his absence Friday and it's unclear how long Tarasenko is expected to be out.

Tarasenko scored a goal and added an assist in a 5-1 win over Detroit on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Tarasenko put the Sens up 2-1 at 3:36 of the second period while on the power play, and it stood as the game winner. The winger turns 32 on Wednesday, and he's showing no sign of slowing down. Tarasenko is on a 70-point pace (19 points; six goals, 13 assists) after tallying just 50 between the Blues and Rangers last season. And with six points, including three goals, in his last four games, Tarasenko is a strong fantasy contributor right now.
