Jake Sanderson Remains Out Tuesday

Ottawa Senators defenseman Jake Sanderson (upper body) won't be in the lineup on Tuesday against the Florida Panthers, Andrew Wilimek of the Senators' official site reports. He was back at practice on Monday but remains day-to-day with an upper-body injury. Sanderson wore a non-contact jersey on Monday, so he isn't yet fully healthy. Still, the fact that he's skating again is a good sign that Ottawa will have Sanderson back for the final stretch of the regular season. He has been a key player for the team, recording 48 points (11 goals, 37 assists), 133 SOG, 116 blocks, and a plus-nine rating across 62 appearances. With Thomas Chabot (forearm) also on the shelf, Carter Yakemchuk has moved to the first power-play unit. Tyler Kleven and Jordan Spence have expanded roles as well.

Jake Sanderson Could Return in 7-10 Days

Ottawa Senators defenseman Jake Sanderson (upper body) could return in 7-10 days, head coach Travis Green said on Saturday. He will miss a seventh consecutive game on Saturday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs. However, the Senators are likely to get him back soon. Sanderson is a key player in defense for Ottawa, recording 48 points (11 goals, 37 assists), 133 shots, and 116 blocks across 62 outings this season. His absence has elevated Thomas Chabot's fantasy value. Chabot has logged monster ice time in recent games, including 30:53 in Thursday's 3-2 win over the New York Islanders. He has notched one goal and two assists in six games during Sanderson's absence.

Jake Sanderson Considered Week-to-Week

Ottawa Senators defenseman Jake Sanderson (upper body) is out week-to-week. He sustained an upper-body injury in Saturday's win over the Seattle Kraken. Sanderson will miss his first game of the season on Monday night versus the Vancouver Canucks. Nikolas Matinpalo (undisclosed) is set to fill the void in the lineup. With Sanderson sidelined, the Senators' blue line will lean more on Thomas Chabot, who will move to the first defensive pairing and the top power-play unit. Chabot collected two assists on Saturday and has tallied 27 points (six goals, 21 assists) in 47 games overall this season.

Jake Sanderson Sustains Upper-Body Injury Versus Kraken

Ottawa Senators defenseman Jake Sanderson (upper body) could be forced to miss time after being injured in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Seattle Kraken. He appeared to have hurt his shoulder on a hit from Kraken defenseman Brandon Montour. Sanderson hasn't earned any points in three outings, but it has been a fruitful campaign for him. Across 62 games, Sanderson has recorded 48 points (11 goals, 37 assists), 133 shots, 116 blocks, and a plus-nine rating. His outstanding form earned him a spot on Team USA's Olympic gold-winning roster. If Sanderson misses time, Thomas Chabot will take on a larger role in Ottawa's defense, while Nikolas Matinpalo (undisclosed) could fill the void in the lineup if he has recovered from his injury.

Jake Sanderson Back In Action Thursday

Ottawa Senators defenseman Jake Sanderson (rest) will re-enter the lineup on Thursday as the team wraps up its regular season schedule with a home game against the Carolina Hurricanes. Sanderson missed his second game of the season on Tuesday against the Chicago Blackhawks when he was rested. 2024-25 has been a breakout campaign for Sanderson, who has tallied 55 points (11 goals, 44 assists) in 79 outings. With Thomas Chabot (rest) and Artem Zub (rest) leaving the lineup on Thursday, Sanderson should have plenty to do against Carolina alongside Nick Jensen (rest), who is returning from a two-game absence.

Jake Sanderson Resting Against Blackhawks

Ottawa Senators defenseman Jake Sanderson (rest) will skip Tuesday's contest against the Chicago Blackhawks. Ottawa will give one of its key players some rest before the postseason. Sanderson has enjoyed a hugely successful campaign in 2024-25, notching a career-high 55 points (11 goals, 44 assists) in 79 games while blocking a team-high 163 shots. Thomas Chabot will carry additional fantasy value on Tuesday as Sanderson's replacement on the first power-play unit. He has recently boosted his productivity, totaling nine points (two goals, seven assists) during a five-game scoring streak. Nick Jensen (rest) will also exit the lineup on Tuesday, which will increase the workload of the remaining defensemen.

Jake Sanderson Exits Early On Saturday

Ottawa Senators defenseman Jake Sanderson (upper body) exited early during their victory over the San Jose Sharks on Saturday evening. Sanderson sustained a hit near his neck and exited shortly after. After the game, the team did not provide an update on his status.

Over his previous 10 contests, Sanderson has totaled 11 points (four goals, seven helpers) with 31 shots on goal and 21 blocked shots. If the 22-year-old has to miss time, fantasy managers should expect Thomas Chabot to move up to the top power-play unit and top pairing.

Jake Sanderson Enjoys Another Multi-Point Outing

Ottawa Senators defenseman Jake Sanderson logged his second multi-point game of the season Wednesday with a goal and an assist in a 6-1 win over the Capitals. He had his third helper of the year when his defense partner Artem Zub scored in the second period, and Sanderson was left with the honors of icing the game with the team's final goal in the third frame. The 21-year-old also totaled two blocks and two penalty minutes in the contest, finishing with a plus-one rating in 20:17 of ice time. Sanderson's stock continues to rise in fantasy hockey and in real life as well. He looks extremely mature for his age and plays a very smart game. This has led to him being currently tied for second in defensemen scoring with five points (two goals, three assists) in four games.

Jake Sanderson Exits With Injury Thursday

Ottawa Senators defenseman Jake Sanderson was injured in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to Washington. He was hit under the chin with a shot early in the third period and left holding his neck. Sanderson finished with 15:55 of ice time and had one block in the contest. Ottawa didn't have any immediate updates on his status after the game. At least the 20-year-old will be getting some nice recovery time, as Ottawa's Friday's match against Detroit was postponed due to bad weather conditions and the team will be off until Dec. 27. Sanderson had a good start to the season and was among the top scoring rookies, but he has been slumping throughout December with only one point collected in 11 outings. He's on 12 points through 33 games for the whole year. Ottawa also lost forwards Tyler Motte and Rourke Chartier to upper-body injuries Thursday.

Jake Sanderson Dishes Two Assists Wednesday

Ottawa Senators defenseman Jake Sanderson had a solid game Wednesday, recording two assists (one on the powerplay) in a 4-1 win over the Buffalo Sabres. Sanderson also chipped in four shots, two hits, and five blocks in what was a studly all-around performance. He is up to seven assists this season, but remains without a goal. With Thomas Chabot (concussion) on the IR, Sanderson has been given a prime opportunity to succeed with an average of over 25 minutes of ice time in the last two games. He certainly was up to the task tonight and should remain a strong fantasy asset until Chabot returns.
