Buffalo Sabres center Josh Norris (undisclosed) is considered day-to-day with an undisclosed injury. According to Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio, Norris has been dealing with this injury throughout the season but will not be shut down for the remainder of the campaign. The Sabres acquired Norris from the Ottawa Senators at the trade deadline. Norris has been sidelined for the past five contests and could continue to remain out as the Sabres are not in the playoff picture. Through six contests this month, Norris has tallied four points (two goals) with nine hits and four blocked shots. Through 56 contests this season, Norris has found the back of the net 21 times and added 14 helpers, with 11 of his total points coming on the power play. While he remains out, Ryan McLeod will continue to be deployed as the No. 2 center.
Buffalo Sabres center Josh Norris (undisclosed) will not suit up on Monday evening when the Sabres travel to Boston to face the Bruins. Norris was unable to participate in their last contest. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their next game on Thursday evening against the Utah Hockey Club. The Sabres acquired Norris from the Ottawa Senators at the trade deadline. Through his first three contests in Buffalo, Norris has tallied two points with one goal. With Norris sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Ryan McLeod to continue to operate as the No. 2 center. Through 56 games this season, the former 19th overall pick has found the back of the net 21 times and added 14 helpers.
Buffalo Sabres center Josh Norris (undisclosed) is undergoing further evaluation by the medical staff. Fantasy managers should monitor his status leading up to their next contest on Saturday afternoon against the Vegas Golden Knights as the team may keep him sidelined. The Sabres acquired Norris at the trade deadline from the Ottawa Senators in exchange for Dylan Cozens, Dennis Gilbert, and a 2026 second-round selection. Through his first three contests in Buffalo, the 25-year-old has tallied two points (one goal) with two shots on goal, two hits, and two blocked shots. He has been deployed on the top forward line alongside Tage Thompson. Through 56 contests this season, Norris has tallied 35 points (21 goals) with 135 hits and 47 blocked shots.
The Buffalo Sabres have acquired center Josh Norris and defenseman Jacob Bernard-Docker from the Ottawa Senators in exchange for forward Dylan Cozens, defenseman Dennis Gilbert, and a 2026 second-round selection. Josh Norris was initially drafted by the San Jose Sharks with the 19th overall pick in the 2017 NHL Draft and was then shipped to Ottawa in a package that sent Erik Karlsson to San Jose in 2018. Norris has flashed elite upside at times but has struggled to stay on the ice. Norris tallied a career-best 35 goals with 20 helpers during the 2021 season in just 66 contests. However, since that season, Norris went on to play just eight games in 2022 and 50 in 2023. This season, Norris has already missed time with an upper body injury. Through 53 contests, Norris has scored 20 goals and added 13 helpers. Fantasy managers should expect Norris to likely play on Buffalo's top line alongside Tage Thompson and JJ Peterka.
Ottawa Senators centers Josh Norris (upper body) and Shane Pinto (upper body) will return to action on Saturday against the San Jose Sharks. Norris is good to go after missing six games, while Pinto will rejoin the lineup following a four-game absence. Brady Tkachuk (lower body) already confirmed on Friday that he will play, so the Senators attack will have three key players back against the Sharks. Norris, who has tallied 31 points (19 goals, 12 assists) in 50 games, will center the second line, with Pinto, who has had 22 points (11 goals, 11 assists) in 46 contests, joining the third line.
Ottawa Senators center Josh Norris (upper body) will remain sidelined during Wednesday's contest when the Senators host the Winnipeg Jets. Norris has missed their previous five contests due to this injury and could be facing an extended absence. Over his last six contests, the former 19th overall selection has tallied six points (four goals) with 10 hits and five blocked shots. Overall, Norris has found the back of the net 19 times and added 12 helpers across 50 games. Despite only playing in 50 games in four out of his six NHL seasons, Norris has eclipsed the 30-point mark in all four and scored at least 16 goals in each. While Norris remains sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Ridly Greig to continue to play on the second line. However, this line is best to fade in DFS as left wing Brady Tkachuk will also not suit up for this contest.
Ottawa Senators center Josh Norris (upper body) was able to practice on Tuesday and could return to the starting lineup on Wednesday to face the Winnipeg Jets. Norris has missed the previous five contests but seems to be approaching a return. Fantasy managers should continue to keep an eye on his status as he should return to his role in the top six. Before his injury, Norris tallied four points (two goals, two helpers) over his previous two contests with four shots on goal. Across 50 contests, the 25-year-old has found the back of the net 19 times and added 12 helpers with a -6 rating. He has added an impressive 126 hits with 92 shots on goal. Norris will likely return to the second line and play alongside Drake Batherson and David Perron.
According to TSN Ottawa, Senators center Josh Norris (undisclosed) is expected to miss a few weeks with his undisclosed injury. The 25-year-old sustained this injury during their victory over the Minnesota Wild on Saturday evening. Over his previous two contests, he tallied four points (two goals, two helpers) while tallying at least two shots on goal per game. Over his previous 10 games, Norris has scored five goals with four assists with a +5 rating. While sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Ridley Greig to move up to the second line alongside David Perron and Drake Batherson. Norris will hope to return for their first game after the international break on February 22 against the Montreal Canadiens.
According to Bruce Garrioch of TSN, Ottawa Senators center Josh Norris (undisclosed) exited Saturday's contest against the Minnesota Wild in the final frame. After the game, the team did not provide an update on his status. Before exiting, the 25-year-old found the back of the net for the second-straight game while shorthanded and added two shots on goal and a hit. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their game on Monday evening against the Nashville Predators. Over his previous 10 games, the former first-round selection has tallied nine points (five goals, four helpers) with 17 shots, 26 hits, and nine blocks. If Norris were to miss time, fantasy managers should expect Shane Pinto to be a candidate to move up to the second line, while Cole Reinhardt will likely draw into the starting lineup in the bottom six.
Ottawa Senators center Josh Norris (upper body) will miss the rest of the week. He was hurt on Tuesday against the Rangers, and Senators head coach Travis Green has ruled Norris out for the weekend. Ottawa faces Toronto on Saturday and Utah on Sunday. Overall, Norris will miss three games as the Senators also take the ice on Thursday night against Boston. David Perron (back) is expected to replace Norris in the lineup. Perron has gone scoreless in nine appearances this season and should be ignored by fantasy managers. However, Shane Pinto could have additional fantasy value if he's promoted to the top six to fill in for Norris.
Ottawa Senators center Josh Norris (shoulder) is fully healthy for the start of training camp. Norris underwent left shoulder surgery in early March, missing the final couple of months last season. He made 50 appearances in 2023-24, scoring 16 goals and 30 points. Shoulder issues have plagued Norris for several years; this was already his third surgery to get it fixed. Considering his injury history, Norris' fantasy stock is likely at an all-time low. However, he could surprise many in the new season if he manages to get a full campaign under his belt. Norris has never made more than 66 appearances across a single season. He boasts 123 points (70 goals, 53 assists) in 183 career appearances.
Ottawa Senators forward Josh Norris is unlikely to return to action this season after he suffered yet another left shoulder injury. The 24-year-old has already had his left shoulder operated on twice while a third procedure is reportedly in play. It's a devastating setback as Norris skated in just eight games due to shoulder surgery last season and missed the first three games of this season while recovering. The American pivot scored 16 goals and recorded 30 points with 115 shots on goal across 50 games this season. He has been out of the lineup since Feb. 27 when he suffered the injury in a loss to the Nashville Predators. Shane Pinto has been excellent in his return from suspension and is the go-to waiver wire add in Norris' stead.
Ottawa Senators forward Josh Norris is going to miss an extended period of time due to an upper-body injury suffered in a collision with Nashville Predators forward Cole Smith during Tuesday's 4-1 loss. "I don't have any more, really, info, but we'll have some more info later on," Senators interim head coach Jacques Martin said on Thursday. "Too early to know (the timeline)." The biggest fear is another shoulder injury for the 24-year-old who was limited to just eight games last season due to shoulder surgery. He missed the first three games of this season while recovering. Norris has collected 16 goals and 30 points along with 115 shots on goal across 50 games this season, his fifth in the NHL.
Ottawa Senators center Josh Norris (upper body) is set to sit out a fourth consecutive game Thursday versus Montreal, but he could be available for the weekend. Ottawa faces Winnipeg on Saturday and has a clash with Philadelphia scheduled for Sunday. Norris has had a tough campaign in 2023-24, logging 20 points (12 goals, eight assists) in 33 outings. He hasn't added any points to his tally in seven consecutive appearances. Ridly Greig has taken over as the top-line center and played very well with Brady Tkachuk and Claude Giroux on Tuesday versus Colorado, as the trio combined for eight points.
Ottawa Senators center Josh Norris (upper body) will remain out of the lineup for Saturday's contest against the visiting San Jose Sharks. Norris sat out Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Buffalo Sabres and will miss at least one more contest. This upper-body ailment is worrisome as it's unclear if it is connected to Norris' shoulder woes as he was limited to just eight games last year and missed the first three games this season due to shoulder surgery. The Michigan native has notched 12 goals and 20 points in 33 games on the season to go along with 87 shots and 33 hits. Rookie Ridly Greig moved into a spot in the top-six between Brady Tkachuk and Claude Giroux Thursday against Buffalo and is a nice fantasy streaming option as long as Norris remains sidelined.
Ottawa Senators forward Josh Norris (upper body) will not suit up Thursday in a road tilt with the Buffalo Sabres. Norris skated 16:49 of ice time and logged three shots and two penalty minutes along with a minus-three rating on Tuesday in a 6-3 loss to the Calgary Flames. It's been tough sledding for the 24-year-old of late, as he has been held off the scoresheet over his last seven games. The drought has him sitting with 12 goals and 20 points across 33 games on the season while he's put 87 shots on goal in that time. It's unclear if this ailment is shoulder-related, as Norris missed 74 games due to shoulder surgery last season and missed his team's first three games this season while still recovering. Fantasy managers will want to keep a close eye on this situation as a result.
Ottawa Senators center Josh Norris made his mark with two goals in his season debut Wednesday versus the Capitals. His first goal, which came in a power-play situation, ended up as the game-winning marker in a 6-1 triumph. Norris had three total shots on goal and finished with a plus-one rating in 16:34 of action. He was among the team leaders in power-play time with 4:18. It was great to see him in action again after a shoulder issue kept Norris out for 270 days. Before losing nearly all of last season to injury, Norris had a big campaign in 2021-22 with 35 goals and 55 points in 66 outings, and he should be a regular scoring threat again this season.
Ottawa Senators center Josh Norris (shoulder) will make his season debut in Wednesday's matchup against Washington. It will also be his first appearance since Jan. 21. Norris worked with Dominik Kubalik and Drake Batherson during Wednesday's morning skate, and he should be part of the top power-play unit in the contest. With him having been out for so long, we can't expect Norris to be at his best right away, but he will add an additional gear to Ottawa's offense. Zack MacEwen is set to come out of the lineup to make room for Norris.
Ottawa Senators center Josh Norris (shoulder) will be unavailable for Wednesday's season opener against Carolina, but he isn't expected to be out for long. According to Sportsnet's Wayne Scanlan, Senators head coach D.J. Smith hopes to have Norris back shortly. With fellow forward Zack MacEwen (upper body) also battling an injury, the Senators will dress only 17 skaters on Wednesday. Ridly Greig is set to open the season as the second-line center, while Mathieu Joseph was also part of the top-six group at the morning skate.
Ottawa Senators center Josh Norris (shoulder) looks set to miss the start of the season, with the 24-year-old having suffered a setback in his recovery from shoulder surgery. Norris missed the entire preseason despite head coach D.J. Smith expecting him to be available. "We all thought Josh would go through a little bit of practice, take a few bumps and get in an exhibition game and away we'd go," Smith said Saturday. "And that just didn't happen." Smith added that he never thought the Senators would start the campaign without Norris. With Shane Pinto still unsigned, Ottawa is looking weak in the center department, but it could give someone like Ridly Greig a chance to step up.
