Sanford recorded an assist in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Sanford had gone 10 games without a point, including his first two after he was traded from the Senators to the Jets. The 27-year-old snapped the drought with the secondary helper on Dominic Toninato's first-period marker. Through 65 appearances, Sanford has 18 points, 87 shots on net, 136 hits and a minus-12 rating. The American winger is likely to remain in a third-line role with the Jets, so his fantasy appeal will remain limited to deeper formats.

Sanford was traded to Winnipeg from Ottawa on Monday with a 2022 fifth-round selection headed the other way, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sanford has notched 17 points in 62 games for the Senators this season along with 85 shots, 131 hits and 55 blocks. With the Jets moving Mason Appleton, the 27-year-old Sanford should be able to at least push for a top-six role, though he may need to settle for a spot on the third line at least to start.

Sanford set up a goal in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

The gritty third-line winger only committed to one hit, but his primary assist to Adam Gaudette helped the Senators to a 2-0 lead in the opening frame. Selected by the Capitals in the second round (No. 61 overall) of the 2013 draft, Sanford doesn't see the ice often enough to draw attention in fantasy games, but there was no stopping Ottawa in this matinee.

Sanford recorded an assist in Monday's 4-1 win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Sanford helped out on Nick Holden's go-ahead goal in the second period. The 27-year-old Sanford has picked up a modest six points with 31 hits and eight PIM in 13 games since the start of January. The winger will continue to have fairly limited appeal in a middle-six role. He's up to 13 points, 58 shots on net, 86 hits, 32 PIM and a minus-11 rating in 41 contests overall.

Sanford added four hits in a 4-1 loss to the Islanders on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Sanford was actually been much more productive in January than he had been in December, relatively speaking, but February did not bring such luck in this one. The left winger has 85 hits and 11 points in 40 contests.

Sanford scored an empty-net goal on three shots and added three hits in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Sanford's full-length shot found the empty cage with 58 seconds left in regulation, sealing the Senators' comeback win. The 27-year-old has a goal and an assist in his last four games, but he's struggled with consistency on offense in a bottom-six role. He's at eight points, 44 shots on net, 61 hits, 30 PIM and a minus-11 rating in 31 contests overall. Sanford had 16 points in 52 games with the Blues last year.

Sanford cleared COVID-19 protocols Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Sanford had been in protocols since Monday but didn't miss any games. The 27-year-old, with seven points in 29 games this season, should return to his usual fourth-line role when the Senators resume their schedule.

Sanford entered the league's COVID-19 protocols Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Sanford becomes the ninth Senator to land in the league's protocols, so it seems unlikely the team will be in action versus the Kraken on Thursday, though no official announcement has come from the league yet. For his part, Sanford is mired in a 13-game goal drought during which he has registered a mere 14 shots and just one assist. Unless he can rediscover his offense soon, Sanford will likely be hard-pressed to reach the 30-point threshold as he did back in 2019-20 with the Blues.

Sanford netted a hat trick in Monday's 7-5 loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Sanford scored once in each period, opening with a power-play tally before adding the final pair at even strength. The 27-year-old entered Monday with just three points this season, so he doubled his output with the impressive showing. Sanford has five goals, one assist, 25 shots on net, 32 hits and a minus-3 rating in 16 appearances, though he's mainly been limited to third-line minutes.

Sanford scored his first goal of the season in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

He opened the scoring just 74 seconds into the game, but Ottawa couldn't make that early lead hold up. Sanford had only one assist through his first 11 games as a Senator, but he'd reached double-digit goals in each of his final two seasons with the Blues and more offense could be coming now that he's gotten rolling.
