Drake Batherson Racks Up Four Points In Preseason Win
Ottawa Senators right wing Drake Batherson produced a four-point outing as the team beat Florida 4-2 in a preseason game on Sunday. Batherson collected a hat trick of assists, including one on the power play, and completed his four-point game with an empty-net goal. The 25-year-old made his third preseason appearance and now has five points (one goal, four assists) on his account. Batherson has scored only once in preseason, and even that came with the net empty, but he's been very active in the offensive zone, producing 18 shots on goal. The American winger will look for further improvement in 2023-24 from a career-high 62 points (22 goals, 40 assists) he posted last term.
Ottawa Senators right wing Drake Batherson became the first player on the team since 2011-12 to record an 11-game point streak when he finished Tuesday's 3-2 shootout victory over Boston with two assists. He recorded a power-play assist on a Tim Stutzle goal and helped Alex DeBrincat to get a goal in an even-strength situation. The 24-year-old is now the sixth player in franchise history to reach an 11-game point streak. He has totaled seven goals and nine assists during the run, getting to 33 points for the year with 34 games played. It's been a big season for Batherson, although he's still carrying an ugly minus-23 rating around, with a large chunk of his points registered on the power play.
Drake Batherson Stretches Point Streak To Nine Games
Ottawa Senators right wing Drake Batherson had one goal on six shots in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to Winnipeg, extending his point streak to nine games. The 24-year-old potted a power-play goal in the first period, but the team had an awful night at the office and couldn't compete with the hosts.

Both of his points came on the power play in the second period, with Batherson tallying his eighth goal of the campaign and his 18th assist. The 24-year-old is boasting 26 points in 29 games, but some managers might be put off by his ugly minus-18 rating, which is one of the worst in the league. Batherson is currently on a nice scoring streak, but he hasn't finished any of the six games with a positive plus/minus.
Ottawa Senators forwards Drake Batherson (illness) and Tim Stutzle (lower body) remain unavailable for Saturday's clash with the Rangers. Both players already missed Thursday's 3-2 loss to Nashville. Stutzle joined the team at Friday's practice, which was a good sign that he might play in New York, but that won't be the case. The next chance to return for Stutzle and Batherson comes on Sunday against Winnipeg. With a couple of big offensive pieces missing, Adam Gaudette joined the top six at practice and looks set to skate on the second line Saturday. He's managed only 14 points in 46 games this season but will now have a better chance to perform in a bigger role.
Ottawa Senators right wing Drake Batherson missed Thursday's morning skate with an illness and is doubtful to play against Nashville. Connor Brown took his spot on the second line at the morning skate and will likely fill in for him in the game as well if necessary. Batherson has only just returned from an ankle injury that robbed him of two months of action, so he'll no doubt be eager to play, but it looks like the odds are against him. The 23-year-old has notched four points in five games since returning to action, and he's managed 38 points in total in 36 games over the season. Depth forward Dylan Gambrell is also dealing with a illness and is doubtful for Thursday's game.

Ottawa hasn't had a lot to cheer for in 2021-22, but Batherson has been one of the few positives with 34 points in 31 games. The 23-year-old has shown great potential and his work this season even includes three four-point efforts.
Drake Batherson Will Miss Significant Time With Injury
Ottawa Senators forward Drake Batherson (ankle) is set to miss a minimum of two months as a result of the high ankle sprain that he sustained on a hit from Sabres goalie Aaron Dell on Tuesday night. Batherson collided with the goaltender as he was rounding the net and crashed into the end boards with force. "You're looking at a couple months, for sure. Maybe longer," said Senators coach D.J. Smith. Batherson was enjoying the best season of his young career, as he totaled 13 goals and 21 assists for a team-high 34 points through 31 games, while he was set to take part in his first NHL All-Star Game. Fantasy managers should place the young forward onto the injured reserve spot as a two month timeline would mean that the 23-year-old can potentially make it back for the fantasy playoff rounds.
Drake Batherson Racks Up Four Points Against Florida
Ottawa Senators right wing Drake Batherson had another outstanding game on Tuesday against Florida, coming away with four points from an 8-2 win.

The Fort Wayne, Indiana, native has eight points during the last five Senators games. He is a player to watch in fantasy, as he has helped Ottawa offensively despite the team's struggles.
Ottawa Senators right wing Drake Batherson will be available again on Wednesday against Vancouver after clearing COVID-19 protocols. Ottawa's top scorer hasn't played since Nov. 13. The 23-year-old boasts seven goals and 16 points in 14 appearances this season. He had an amazing four-point performance against Pittsburgh just before dropping out of the lineup. Batherson goes straight back on the top line, joining Brady Tkachuk and Josh Norris. The trio has combined for 40 points this season, so the Canucks could be in big trouble here.
Drake Batherson Racks Up Three Points In Saturday's Win

Artem Zub and Nikita Zaitsev also found the back of the net. With Josh Norris and Brady Tkachuk each collecting a couple of assists, Batherson's line combined for seven points in the game. Having reached 15 goals for the season, Batherson now leads the Senators in goal-scoring, and he and Tkachuk are tied for the team-lead in points (28) with Thomas Chabot. The 22-year-old has a habit of collecting points in bunches. He's recorded four multi-point efforts in his past 15 outings but has gone pointless in all the other games.

Batherson has produced eight goals across the last two weeks to lead the whole league in goal-scoring. Only seven players at 22 years or younger have produced a longer goal streak in the past 30 years, so the former fourth-round pick is having quite a run at the moment. He'll face Montreal's struggling defense next, which puts him in a great spot to light the lamp once more and add to his 17 points.
Drake Batherson Pushes Goal-Scoring Streak To Four Games
