| Jake Sanderson |  | LD | 21 | 4 of 4 | 90
P1
| Trending towards being the Senators top defenceman Averaging 23 minutes, per game, time on ice Used in all situations Matches up against top opponents Has contributed 7G-20A with (2G) - (7A) on the PP Not overly physical - credited with 36 hits Blocks shots at ES and on the PK (104) Elite skater. Fantastic edges. His speed gives him an advantage over opponents when tracking pucks or closing on them to kill plays. Generally an area defender - but plenty smart about his approach - High end hockey sense Competes - Skates - Provides secondary offense - Likely to score more in time - 2-way / Transitional 'D' | Feb. 27, 2024 | Mar. 4, 2024 |
| Ridly Greig | | C | 21 | 3 of 3 | 85
L3
| Young, still developing, forward who plays a skilled / energetic / pesty style of game. Not huge in stature but always involved. Never backs down from contact and battles in the hard areas of the ice. Good skater. Can push the play in transition. Can play both center and the wing. Averaging 14:32 TOI through 49GP - used in all situations Produced 9G-12A 6G - 12A at even strength | Feb. 27, 2024 | Mar. 4, 2024 |
| Shane Pinto | | RW | 23 | 2 of 2 | 83
L3
| Since returning from suspension he has played in 18 games as of March 4th / 2024 Averages 17:41 TOI - used in all situations - secondary PK Winning 51% of his draws More push back to his game - credited with 20 hits and 20 shot blocks in the 18GP Has produced 6G-10A Playing with purpose. Pending RFA. Trending towards a second line forward role in the near future. | Feb. 27, 2024 | Mar. 4, 2024 |
| Claude Giroux | | C | 36 | 3 of 3 | 80
L2
| Offense has fallen off a bit in 23/24 - in 59GP he's produced 18G -35A Averaging 20:00 TOI - Used in all situations - Remains one of the best face-off forwards in the entire NHL - wins 58% of his draws Makes plays on the PP - mostly from his weak side flank - at times moving to the middle lane Limited amount of bump to him physically - only credited with 29 hits and 21 shot blocks Pace ranges at times - not a burner between the blue lines but does have a bit of an extra gear to surprise opponents at times. On balance he continues to play to his strengths offensively compared to the rest of his team mates. | Feb. 27, 2024 | Mar. 4, 2024 |
| Erik Brännström | | RD | 24 | 2 of 2 | 80
P3
| Brannstrom has been mostly solid for the Senators in a third pairing role. Through 53GP he was averaging 15:49 TOI His primary ice time comes at ES and the PK - Rarely used on the PP Contributes some depth offense - 3G - 10A Quick to space. Not big in stature. Relies on jumping to pucks ahead of his opponent in the defensive zone. Mostly area defender with an active stick. Average when the game gets heavy out front his net. Limited physical push back (24 hits) but fronts the shooter (73 shot blocks) Much improved year over year - more reliable detail defensively - (+2) rating | Feb. 27, 2024 | Mar. 4, 2024 |
| Jacob Bernard-Docker | | RD | 23 | 1 of 1 | 79
P3
| Bernard-Docker has been generally solid for the Senators in 23/24 Average plus stature Decent strength / push back in the trenches Keeping things mostly simple with the puck on his stick Has averaged 15:38 TOI through 50GP - Deployed at ES and PK - Depth offense 4G-8A Rotates well on the PK / fronts shooters in his zone / blocks shots (107) Low risk approach - protects 'the house' first - knows his role - 3rd pairing 2-way 'D' | Feb. 27, 2024 | Mar. 4, 2024 |
| Mathieu Joseph | | RW | 27 | 3 of 3 | 82
L3
| Joseph has played to his identity this year for Ottawa. He's produced 10G -20A in 49GP Average TOI for the season has landed at 16:30 Used in all situations. Limited impact on the PP. Plays fast. Competes up and down the ice. Can create turnovers with his tenacity. Provides secondary offense and some push back physically - 75 hits - 30 shot blocks The kind of player who can be a bit of a pest when he's firing on all cylinders Combination of energy - speed - better than average skill when at his best | Feb. 27, 2024 | Mar. 4, 2024 |
| Drake Batherson | | C | 25 | 2 of 2 | 81
L2
| Through 59GP Batherson has averaged 17:39 TOI and produced 21G - 24A 5G - 8A on the PP All of his ice time comes at even strength and the power-play. He doesn't have a role on the PK Big body who's difficult to defend around the crease and along the wall. When he boxes out opponents they have a tough time pushing him out of danger areas in the offensive zone. Great release. Can be slotted into the power-play net front or as the bumper. Has the ability to beat goalies from long-range. Shoots the puck hard and accurately. More physical overall this season. Credited with 75 hits and 27 shot blocks Overall - average / average plus defensively - (-7) defensively. Has stood in for 90 face-offs on the year - winning only 41% of his draws | Feb. 27, 2024 | Mar. 4, 2024 |
| Tim Stützle | | LW | 22 | 3 of 3 | 92
FP
| Logs over 21:00 TOI - Used in all situations Generally energetic / competitive / offensive play driver who's hard to defend in all areas of the ice. Through 59GP - 14G -42A (-6) Hasn't scored a goal on the PP in 23/24 - OG - 12A with the man advantage. Involved - credited with 82 hits and 32 shot blocks - 148 shots on goal He's involved in something every shift - but overall his offense has dropped off from last year - and much of it is due to lack of goal scoring success on the PP Last season he produced 10G - 18A on the PP alone. | Feb. 27, 2024 | Mar. 4, 2024 |
| Joshua Norris | | C | 24 | 2 of 2 | 86
L2
| An important player for Ottawa who has had a tough time remaining healthy. Play driver. Quick. Fast. Pushes opponents back when he hits the offensive blue line with a full head of steam. Used in all situations - Was averaging over 17 minutes per game TOI before going down with injury at the beginning of March Produced 16G - 14A with 5G and 7A coming on the PP Wins over 52% of his draws 2-way / speed forward who looks capable of producing even more offense but hasn't historically been an elite point producer. | Feb. 27, 2024 | Mar. 4, 2024 |
| Brady Tkachuk | | LW | 24 | 2 of 2 | 85
L1
| Empties the tank every night. Averages around 19:00 TOI - Deployed at ES and PP - Rarely used on the PK Through 58GP - 26G-24A 7 goals on the PP Physical (198 hits) - Aggressive directing pucks on net (248 shots on goal) Leads by example. There are instances he could dial it back a bit and not get involved in every scrum - during the play and after the whistle - but it's part of his DNA and what makes him such a valuable young leader. When called upon he wins 54% of his draws Hard to defend along the wall and out front the net - especially on the PP - | Feb. 27, 2024 | Mar. 4, 2024 |
| Jakob Chychrun | | LD | 25 | 6 of 6 | 85
P1
| Chychrun has contributed offensively for the Senators. He produced 9G-22A in his first 59GP Continues to average north of 23 minutes per game TOI. All of his ice time comes at even strength and the power-play. Defensive detail ranges - his (-15) rating is the worst of any defenceman on the Sens roster. There are times, in games, he has difficulty timing his gaps and keeping opponents outside the dots in his zone. Best described as a '2-way D' who isn't shy about directing pucks on net in the offensive zone. He's been credited with 145 shots on goal and contributes offense on the power-play (4G-8A) Plenty strong - 50 hits - 107 shot blocks Excellent skater One more year on his current contract that's armed with a 10 team no trade clause. Affordable $4.6M Top pairing 'D' at even strength. | Feb. 27, 2024 | Mar. 4, 2024 |
| Artem Zub | | RD | 28 | 2 of 2 | 86
P2
| Arguably the Senators MVP this season - certainly their most consistent defenceman on a nightly basis. Logs around 21:00 TOI per game. All of his ice time comes at ES and the PK. Matches up versus top forward groups every shift. Tied for the team lead, on defense, with 20 even strength points although he missed time with injury and had only played 46 games as of March 3rd. 97 hits - 80 shot blocks and a (+10) defensively Moves well - thinks the game - competes every night - reliable Signed to a great contract - $4.6M AAV through 26/27 season. | Feb. 27, 2024 | Mar. 4, 2024 |
| Dominik Kubalik | | LW | 28 | 4 of 4 | 71
L4
| Kubalik is a pending UFA. His contract carries a cap hit of $2.5M. He's a shell of the player he once was offensively and he brings very little attention to detail defensively. In his first 55 games, this season, he contributed 9G-4A He averages 12:30 TOI at even strength and the power play. A team looking to take on the risk of acquiring Kubalik is banking on him contributing more offense than he has - especially on the power-play. Shooter more than distributor - but only credited with 68 shots on goal - also doesn't play with much push back physically - only credited with 38 hits and 15 shot blocks Risk/Reward acquisition. | Feb. 27, 2024 | Mar. 4, 2024 |
| Thomas Chabot | | LD | 27 | 2 of 2 | 87
P1
| 2-way transitional 'D' Elite skater - Quick - Fast - Agile Averaging 24:00 TOI per game in 23/24 Missed some time with injury Through 37GP - 6G - 16A 1G - 5A on the PP The kind of defenceman who can skate pucks out of his zone or outlet and join as an extra layer offensively Not a ton of physical push back (credited with 29 hits) Willing to block shots (74 through 37 GP) Mostly 'area defender' who relies on quickness to pressure opponents / get in shooting lanes Active stick Leans distributor more than shooter but his shot can not be underestimated - when he sees an opportunity he directs pucks on net with authority Top pairing - Minute muncher | Feb. 27, 2024 | Mar. 4, 2024 |
| Dominik Kubalik | | LW | 28 | 3 of 4 | 71
L4
| Kubalik is a pending UFA. His contract carries a cap hit of $2.5M. He's a shell of the player he once was offensively and he brings very little attention to detail defensively. In his first 49 games, this season, he contributed 9G-3A. He averages 13 minutes TOI - deployed at even strength and the power play. A team looking to risk taking him on is banking on Kubalik contributing more offense than he has - especially on the power-play. Shooter more than distributor - but only credited with 65 shots on goal overall this year. Risk/Reward acquisition. 4th line forward at even strength who slides into one of the PP units. | Feb. 20, 2024 | Feb. 23, 2024 |
| Jakob Chychrun | | LD | 25 | 5 of 6 | 85
P1
| Chychrun's year has been solid offensively. He contributed 9G-21A in his first 53GP. Averages over 23 minutes per game TOI. All of his ice time comes at even strength and the power-play. He's a (-14) defensively. Chychrun is best described as a '2-way D' who isn't shy about ripping pucks on net in the offensive zone. He's been credited with 125 shots on goal and contributes offense on the power-play (4G-8A) Defensive detail ranges. Plenty strong. Excellent skater. 'Routes' to kill plays in his zone, and contain opponents ranges. One more year on his current contract that's armed with a 10 team no trade clause. Affordable $4.6M Top pairing 'D' at even strength. | Feb. 20, 2024 | Feb. 23, 2024 |
| Dominik Kubalik | | LW | 28 | 2 of 4 | 71
L4
| Kubalik has not produced the kind of offense the Senators were hoping he would contribute when they acquired him from the Detroit Red Wings. Through 43GP he had only produced 9G-3A - Averaged 13:46 TOI - 11:30 even strength and 2:16 on the power-play. He doesn't have a role on the penalty kill. In fact, he struggles defensively overall and has posted a (-20) rating in the forty-three games. In his most recent 20 game segment, before the All-Star break he scored 4G-2A and posted a (-10) rating. Kubalik is on an expiring contract that carries and AAV of $2.5M. Any team interested in acquiring him at the trade deadline is hoping he might find his game offensively and produce in a secondary role. 4th line forward at even strength. Has the skill to land on, potentially, a second power-play unit. | Jan. 29, 2024 | Feb. 7, 2024 |
| Jakob Chychrun | | LD | 25 | 4 of 6 | 86
P1
| Chychrun's year has mirrored that of his team mates. Inconsistent. He's a first pairing workhorse at even strength. In his first 47GP he averaged 22:41 TOI - 19:47 ES - 2:40 PP - Depth / very ltd role on the PK He produced 8G-20A - with 3G-8A coming on the PP. Defensively he was a (-11) - which is second worst on the team and worst in the defensive group. It has to be considered, however, that he matches up against top lines every night / there are no easy shifts for Chychrun. Great skater. Fast on straight lines. Agile. His 'routes' defending and keeping opponents to the perimeter have room for better execution - as does his gap control - defending against the rush Chychrun isn't overly physical but he's willing to get in the lane to block shots (credited with 26hits and 81 shot blocks) Speaking to his inconsistency - in a five game segment between January 23rd - 31st he was a (-6) in the first three games vs MTL / NYR / Bos ... followed by a (+1) rating in two games versus Nashville and Detroit . In the last two games he skated 26:27 vs NSH and 28:37 vs Det 2-way 'D' - provides better than secondary offense - dangerous on the PP - finds a lane on the back-side seam and knows how to finish / one time pucks | Jan. 29, 2024 | Feb. 5, 2024 |
| Tomas Hamara | | LD | 19 | 3 of 3 | B+
P3
| Hamara started the year with the Kitchener Rangers (OHL). He suited up for eighteen games, scoring three assists. He's landed in more of an offensive role playing for the Brantford Bulldogs (OHL). Ottawa selected the 6'0 192lbs, left shot, defenceman in the third round (87th) in 2022. He's best described as a steady 'two-way' defenceman who provides secondary offense. There's nothing elite that stands out about Hamara's game. He moves well. He's an average plus defender. In short, he's reliable in a variety of roles. Expect Hamara to, potentially, be used in all situations for Team Czechia. | Dec. 21, 2023 | - |
| Oskar Pettersson | | RW | 19 | 3 of 3 | B+
RL
| The Senators drafted the 6'2 198lbs, right shot, winger in the second round (72nd) in 2022. He's best described as a '2-way' forward who can occasionally provide some secondary offense. Pettersson is an average skater who competes hard up and down the ice. There's not a ton of flash to his game. He's involved in traffic and battles to extend plays along the wall. Expect Pettersson to slot into a depth role for Team Sweden. His primary ice time will come at even strength and the penalty kill. | Dec. 21, 2023 | - |
| Kevin Reidler | | G | 19 | 1 of 1 | B+
#3
| Reidler came to North America this season to develop in the USHL with the Fighting Saints. He's posted a 3.20 GAA and .900 save percentage. The first thing that stands out about the Senators fifth round pick (151st) in 2022 is his stature. Reidler is a giant in the net. He stands 6'6 201lbs. Reidler is a butterfly goalie who can use his size as an advantage. He presents decent coordination and mobility. It's key for Reidler to not get wandering around too much. When he loses his posts, he also loses his size advantage by having to track to far from side to side. In the pre-tournament camp, and games, it appears Reidler might end up being the third goalie for Team Sweden. | Dec. 21, 2023 | - |
| Joonas Korpisalo | | G | 29 | 2 of 2 | 80
1B
| Korpisalo's game has ranged, at times, to start the season in Ottawa. Over his first 9 starts he has posted a 3.38 GAA and .902 save % There have been stretches the team in front of him needs to be better and more organized. Goalies have to trust what's happening around them. Conversely, he has had a few pucks get past him that he would like to have back. Korpisalo is similar to the entire team in Ottawa. Capable of having big moments and winning big games. Also some uneven nights that look a bit off and result in losses instead of wins. At the end of the day, he's a butterfly athletic goalie who's competing. More composure, some nights, will provide more reliable results. | Nov. 8, 2023 | Nov. 11, 2023 |
| Ridly Greig | | C | 21 | 2 of 3 | 85
L3
| Greig is on the rise in Ottawa. He slots in as a 3F for now but he's trending 2F as he travels more miles in the NHL. Players like this provide immense value to team results. He's deployed in all situations. He has the skill and pace to transport the puck in transition and gain zone entries at even strength and the power-play. He goes to the hard areas to battle for position and extend plays. In short, he's hard to play against. A bit of a throwback. Quick. Physical. High end compete. Makes life miserable for opponents. Area of concern, early on, is his success rate in the face-off circle (42%) Watch him closely though. He's net front on the PP and he finishes all his checks. If the Sens are going to graduate to be a playoff team, Greig will play a significant role. Averaging 15:22 TOI - 12:03 ES - 1:59 PP - 1:20 PK - 7GP - 1G-4A-5PTS-4PIMS(+7 | Oct. 24, 2023 | Oct. 28, 2023 |
| Tim Stützle | | LW | 21 | 2 of 3 | 92
FP
| Complete player. Deployed in all situations. Plays quick and fast. Relentless competitor. Through the first four games in (23/24) he is averaging 20:36 TOI 15:41 at ES / 4:10 on PP#1 / 0:44 on the PK 2G - 4A - 8 pims (+2) - credited with 5 hits and 4 shot blocks On the power-play he generally sets up on his strong side. The kind of player with the hockey sense to see plays developing one step ahead. When he catches a puck he has already determined what his options are to make the next play. Equal parts distributor / shooter. As F1 on the forecheck he isn't shy about rubbing his man off the puck. Has some bump and push back. Speed element is difficult to defend against. Wins most of his races to pucks. In tight areas, watch how effective he is spinning off checks, moving pucks to space and skating to an open area to make himself available for a return feed. Infectious. Dynamic. Part of the Senators young leadership group. | Oct. 18, 2023 | Oct. 21, 2023 |
| Boris Katchouk | | LW | 25 | 1 of 1 | 71
L4
| Depth forward who has seen his average TOI drop below eleven minutes to start the (23/24) season. Primary ice comes at ES. Second unit PK. Clean up duty on the PP on occasion. Good size. Plays with energy. Willing to bump opponents and disrupt the play as F1 on the forecheck. Provides some depth scoring. Three zone detail ranges. Can be hectic at times. Needs to take better stock of what is going on around him - especially in the defensive zone. A 4F who is hanging onto an NHL job in Chicago but would struggle to crack most NHL lineups. | Oct. 11, 2023 | Oct. 17, 2023 |
| Lassi Thomson | | RD | 23 | 1 of 1 | 78
P3
| Waived by Ottawa / claimed by Anaheim / Waived by Anaheim / reclaimed by Ottawa - all before start of (23/24) season His best shift(s) are definitely NHL worthy. Leans 2-way 'D' with some transitional upside. Very little bump. Moves well on straight lines - has the ability to walk the offensive blue line laterally and direct pucks on net from range. When time and space open up he has a heavy/hard shot that can beat goaltenders on its own. Has potential for second unit PP duty. Relatively lean looking. Average defender. His spatial awareness is sound but he has to jump to space to interrupt plays or win puck battles quicker. | Oct. 1, 2023 | Oct. 12, 2023 |
| Jake Sanderson | | LD | 21 | 3 of 4 | 89
P1
| Complete player An absolute workhorse who is deployed in all situations. Average 21:55 TOI in (22/23) Leans distributor more than shooter. Pounces on loose pucks and has the ability to lead the rush on his own. Off the puck he is the kind of player who provides and extra layer in transition / supporting offensive zone entries. Rotates very well in the defensive zone. Credited with a team leading 147 shot blocks. Doesn't shy away from contact. High end compete. | Sep. 24, 2023 | Oct. 2, 2023 |
| Dominik Kubalik | | LW | 28 | 1 of 4 | 74
L3
| Part of the trade that sent Alex Debrincat to the Detroit Red Wings A good size forward who has a history of being a streaky scorer. In (22/23) he averaged 14:54 TOI with all of his ice time coming at ES and PP. Does not bring much in the way of physicality. Defensive detail ranges. His most attractive element is his ability to come up with timely offense. | Sep. 24, 2023 | Oct. 2, 2023 |
| Thomas Chabot | | LD | 26 | 1 of 2 | 86
P1
| A 2-way/transitional defenceman who is one of the best skaters in the entire NHL. Agile. Quick and fast. Logs huge minutes. Averaged 24:58 TOI in (22/23). Rarely used on the PK. All of his ice time comes at ES and PP#1. Has the ability to outlet pucks and join the rush as an extra layer - or lead the rush on his own and attack offensively. More of a distributor than a shooter but his shot can not be underestimated. A mostly area defender / quick to pucks defensively. Gets in the shooting lane / reads the play / credited with 123 shot blocks last season | Sep. 24, 2023 | Oct. 2, 2023 |
| Shane Pinto | | RW | 22 | 1 of 2 | 77
L3
| A middle six forward who is trending towards being a potential 2F. Good size. Moves well. Outstanding release. When he gets a look at the net in the offensive zone his first instinct is to direct pucks on goal. Leans shooter more than distributor but he does see the ice and will make plays to his line mates. Despite his stature he is not overly physical. His length and frame does allow him to shield pucks. Averaged 15:58 TOI in (22/23) with the bulk of his ice time coming at ES and PP. Defensive detail and off the puck awareness has room to improve. | Sep. 24, 2023 | Oct. 2, 2023 |
| Tyler Kleven | | LD | 21 | 4 of 4 | 76
P3
| Starting his first full season at the pro level after a cup of coffee with the Senators at the end of his college season in (22/23) Big body. Moves well. Logged a ton of ice at the college level. Pushes back physically. Uses his long reach to keep opponents to the perimeter. Has shown willingness to get in the shooting lanes to block shots. The kind of defenceman who leans 'Defensive D'. He's at his best when he keeps things simple with the puck to avoid turnovers. Low risk is best. Has time on his side. Still developing. | Sep. 24, 2023 | Oct. 2, 2023 |
| Claude Giroux | | C | 35 | 2 of 3 | 81
L2
| Veteran forward who averaged 18:47 TOI in (22/23) and was deployed in all situations. Elite in the face-off circle. Won nearly 59% of his draws. Produces offense at ES. Scored 28G-26A. Creative on the PP. Fantastic vision and puck touch from the flank. Paces himself at times. His skating is trending down overall but his hockey IQ is elite - allowing him to read/react and impact the game responsibly. Remains a high end offensive talent at the NHL level. Doesn't play with a ton of physicality and rarely blocks shots. | Sep. 24, 2023 | Oct. 2, 2023 |
| Erik Brännström | | RD | 24 | 1 of 2 | 79
P3
| Has adapted his style and emerged as a useful depth defenceman at the NHL level. Undersize but quick to space. Jumps to pucks ahead of opponents in small areas. Capable puck mover / distributor. Defensive detail and three zone awareness has improved immensely. Averaged 16:06 TOI in (22/23). Deployed in all situations. Leans distributor more than shooter. Rotates well in his zone / gets in shooting lanes / willing to block shots. Much more dependable. Can be used as 4F if required but not ready for full time role | Sep. 24, 2023 | Oct. 2, 2023 |
| Travis Hamonic | | RD | 33 | 1 of 1 | 73
P3
| Veteran defenceman who signed a two-year extension in the summer of 2023 that is armed with a full 'no move' clause. Trending 5D/6D depending on the opponent. Spot duty as a 4D occasionally. 2-way 'D' who is deployed at ES and PK. Averaged over 18:00 TOI in (22/23) Skating has fallen off a bit as he aged. More of a bumper than heavy hitter. Second leading shot blocker for Ottawa (143) Capable with the puck when he has time. Sneaky offensively. Can score from range. | Sep. 24, 2023 | Oct. 2, 2023 |
| Mathieu Joseph | | RW | 26 | 2 of 3 | 76
L3
| Middle six forward who plays both quick and fast Disrupts the play up ice as F1 Averaged 14:01 TOI in (22/23). Bulk of his ice time comes at ES and PK. Clean up duty on the PP. Doesn't have a history of providing consistent secondary scoring. An energy/checker/match-up forward who can skate against opponents second and third lines. Not overly physical. | Sep. 24, 2023 | Oct. 2, 2023 |
| Drake Batherson | | C | 25 | 1 of 2 | 79
L2
| A big body forward who isn't overly physical but uses his size and length to his advantage. Handles the puck very well. Good release. Sees the ice. Moves well. Averaged 18:36 TOI in (22/23). All of his ice time comes at ES and PP#1. 8G-25A at ES / 14G-18A on the PP. When he has time and space he can beat goalies from the flank or middle of the ice. Defensive detail has significant room for more commitment. Team worst (-35) The kind of player who needs to play in the top six to be effective. | Sep. 24, 2023 | Oct. 2, 2023 |
| Tim Stützle | | LW | 21 | 1 of 3 | 92
FP
| The leading scorer in Ottawa in (22/23) Franchise player. Elite in all categories. Averaged 21:15 TOI. Used in all situations.

| Joshua Norris | | C | 24 | 1 of 2 | 86
L2
| Has dealt with some injury setbacks the last two seasons When healthy Norris has the potential upside to play on a top line at the NHL level Brings combination of size, skill, pace, and three zone awareness Limited to only 8GP in (22/23) - started the year being used in all situations and averaging 17:59 TOI Fantastic puck touch. Ability to make plays forehand / backhand. Escapes pressure below the goal line. Strong skater who backs opponents off in transition. | Sep. 24, 2023 | Oct. 2, 2023 |

L1
| The Captain of the Senators. High end compete. Physical / in opponents face / never quits on a play / loads of second and third battle. Averaged 18:37 TOI in (22/23) .Deployed at ES and PP. Very rarely used on the PK. Scored 24G-30A at even strength. Big body. Power forward. Not a naturally gifted skater or playmaker but his relentless approach provides positive results. Led the Senators with 242 hits. Room for improvement in the face-off circle. He took 760 draws but only won 370 (48.37%). At times he has to dial back his emotions | Sep. 24, 2023 | Oct. 2, 2023 |
| Jakob Chychrun | | LD | 25 | 3 of 6 | 84
P1
| Begins his first full season in Ottawa after coming to the Senators in a trade from Arizona in (22/23) Logs a ton of ice time. Deployed in all situations. Sound hockey IQ. Explosive out of the blocks. Has the ability to lead the rush on his own. Not shy about adding an extra layer off the rush. Mostly area defender but also physically capable. Has plenty of strength to win space defending out front his net. Matches up against top six forwards. Fantastic shot / shoots the puck hard and accurately. Has shown he can adjust / take less risk and concentrate on defending in tight games. Averaged over 21:00 TOI | Sep. 24, 2023 | Oct. 2, 2023 |

Moves pucks responsibly. Competitive. Some bump to his game / doesn't shy away from battles. Credited with 131 hits and 67 blocks.

| Joonas Korpisalo | | G | 29 | 1 of 2 | 79
1B
| Arrives in Ottawa after signing a free agent deal in the summer of 2023 Good size - butterfly/athletic / hybrid - similar style to Sergei Bobrovsky in Florida Active pads - good feet - better than average lateral push but his read/react has room for improvement - when his timing is on he is more than capable of making saves back door/off the flank with his quickness - competes - doesn't quit on the play - low blocker is an area that can be exposed - needs to play with maximum crease composure - gets into trouble when he's too busy and sliding outside the posits - still young enough to prove he is worthy of being a #1 - | Sep. 24, 2023 | Oct. 2, 2023 |
| Anton Forsberg | | G | 30 | 1 of 1 | 75
2A
| Played 28 games for Ottawa in 22/23 before sustaining injury to both knees 3.26 GAA and .902% Big body - butterfly style / sits tall / crease composure is mostly sound / playing between his posts and not ranging outside the paint - average plus lateral push quickness - decent catcher - average low blocker - size benefits him in traffic / screens competes to make second stops - can outlet pucks on his own - leans high end backup more than #1 - has not historically proven he can carry a heavy load | Sep. 24, 2023 | Oct. 2, 2023 |

M6
| Big body forward who can be used in a variety of roles. Leans shooter / goal scorer more than playmaker. Has enough speed to attack off the rush, get the edge, and direct pucks on net. Has proven he can score from range. Shoots the puck hard and accurately. Not an elite scorer however. More likely a middle six NHL forward who brings power, push back, reliable detail in all three zones, and secondary scoring. 'Swiss Army Knife' who can play the middle and the wing. Trustworthy. Significant upside. The kind of forward who coaches trust in all situations. | Mar. 18, 2023 | Mar. 19, 2023 |
| Oskar Pettersson | | RW | 19 | 2 of 3 | C+
L4
| Leans depth forward who will contribute some secondary scoring on occasion at the pro level Net front on the PP. Stations himself around the crease - takes away eyes of goaltender - battles for positioning. He's a distraction from the hash marks down in the offensive zone. Not a naturally gifted player with the puck on his stick. More of a chip and chase / net drive / extend plays along the boards. Smart in all three zones. Has the brain to be used on the penalty kill. Active stick. Rotates. Uses his reach. Willing to block shots. Skating isn't pretty at times and will have to continue to improve as he matures. Solid team guy. Knows his limitations. Competes | Mar. 17, 2023 | Mar. 19, 2023 |

P3
| Ice time / role / has ranged with the men's team (8:00 - 14:00) down the stretch and into playoffs. His season has been split between the J20 and Allsvenskan. An average plus skater. More explosiveness required as he matures. Edges are decent. At times he has a gear to lead the rush out of his zone. Defending is mostly reliable. Rangy. Closes on opponents with long reach and shows willingness to body up. His vision / playmaking / distribution is solid. He sees the ice and waits out opponents before making plays. Ability to direct pucks on net from range. Timing his gaps / defending against speed rush will (NI) as he continues to mature. | Mar. 17, 2023 | Mar. 19, 2023 |

| In his final ten segment to end the (22/23) season at North Dakota he produced (2g-2a), was deployed in all situations, matched up versus top six opponents, and averaged between (20:00 - 26:00) TOI. Plays to his identity. Big body with physical push back and long reach. Good skater for his stature. Gets in the shooting lanes. Blocks shots. Length and size keeps opponents to the perimeter effectively. Gaps up. Leans 2-way 'D' at the pro level with a mix of 'defensive D'. Simple is best, overall, with the puck. At times shows deception on the offensive blue line / making plays and directing pucks on net from range. NHL (5D) / Potential (4D | Mar. 17, 2023 | Mar. 19, 2023 |
| Jorian Donovan | | LD | 18 | 3 of 3 | B+
P3
| Continues to impress with the growth of his game overall. The leading defenceman scorer in Hamilton by a wide margin. Being used in all situations. Averaging north of (23:00) TOI per game. Leans distributor, from top/middle of offensive zone set-up, on the power-play. Has the legs to attack off the rush at even strength. Sound instincts overall. As with any young defender playing big minutes he has room to improve his down low detail in his zone. There are nights his intentions are right but his routes, gapping up and containing opponents to the perimeter, are just off. A minute-muncher who is trending up overall. | Mar. 18, 2023 | Mar. 19, 2023 |

D7
| Adjusting to playing on smaller ice surface in North America. Has experience of playing in Liiga (Finland) and for Czechia (WJC). At the WJC he was deployed at ES and PP. A distributor more than a shooter on the PP. His defending seemed more organized playing for his national team. In Kitchener he is being used in all situations. Has the ability to skate pucks up ice on the PP breakout. Also leans distributor on Kitchener more than shooter. Surprisingly mediocre offensive numbers considering he does see the ice and distributes well. Not physical. A bumper at most. Routes / containing / getting on right side of opponents defensively will (NI) before pro. | Mar. 18, 2023 | Mar. 19, 2023 |

M6
| Leading scorer at Ohio State as a freshman in (22/23). Primary ice time ES and PP#1 Big body. Great hands. Thinks the game well in all three zones. Extremely dangerous on the power-play. Majority of his goals came on the PP (7). Sees the ice very well. Finds open seams to make puck plays to team mates. Size is an asset around opponents crease and coming off the boards with long reach. Not overly physical - bumps people more than punishing. Open ice pace will need to improve for NHL game. Full 200ft will be challenging for him if team wants to use him in the middle. Pace, as it stands now, would be average as an NHL winger. | Mar. 11, 2023 | Mar. 19, 2023 |
| Leevi Meriläinen | | G | 20 | 2 of 3 | B+
BU
| Continues to impress, overall, as the season winds down in Liiga His GAA and Save % speak for themselves. Uses his size to his advantage when down in the butterfly. He sits tall / takes up the upper part of the net with his stature. Gets into trouble when his timing is off - dropping to make saves - needs to set his feet and square up on time. Gloves are average plus. Also average playing the puck. Rebound control ranges at times but it's not an area of concern / weakness. Lateral push / second stop / tracking has room for more explosiveness. Plays between the posts. Trending up overall. | Mar. 11, 2023 | Mar. 19, 2023 |

P3
| Leans 2-way/Transitional 'D' on projection. Shows ability to skate pucks up ice on his own at the junior level / or join as an extra layer. Small area escapes in his zone are another positive element. Leads the PP break-out. More of a distributor than shooter with the man advantage. Pucks go through him on the PP. Defensively he doesn't cut corners. Competes. Not punishing physically, but certainly involved. He will sneak up on opponents at times and gap up aggressively. His routes (defending and containing) have room for improvement. There are times opponents slip off him along the boards. Like any young 'D' - puck plays at times range | Mar. 17, 2023 | Mar. 18, 2023 |

BU
| His year, overall, has been very positive. His stats speak for themselves. Good size. Leaning Butterfly/Hybrid. Plays between his posts. Rarely tracks to aggressively from side to side. When he squares up and times his 'drop' into his butterfly he remains tall and takes up majority of the net. His low net pad coverage is also sound. His gloves are average. He doesn't have an exceptionally quick glove hand. Get's into trouble when dropping too soon and not getting his feet set. Lateral push quickness has room for improvement. Plays the puck average. A young goalie in Liiga who is trending positive overall. Needs time. NHL G2 possible | Mar. 16, 2023 | Mar. 18, 2023 |

| Nordberg is splitting time between the J20 and men's team in Allsvenskan He is deployed at ES and PP for both teams. From the middle of the offensive zone he is equal parts distributor and shooter. When time allows he shoots the puck with authority from range. He's rangy in the defensive zone and closes physically on opponents along the wall At times he does get caught flat footed defending against a speed rush but it's more of a timing issue than mechanics | Nov. 30, 2022 | Dec. 5, 2022 |

| A young goalie who is progressing well playing pro in Liiga Good size. Athletic. Moves laterally very well. Good feet. When he squares up he uses his size as an advantage / doesn't give away much net Pucks just over his pads from distance is an area of his game that requires better timing. He tends to be caught in the 'middle' of dropping to early or just a shade too late Overall his mechanics are sound and his skill set is trending positively in his first year pro | Dec. 2, 2022 | Dec. 5, 2022 |

RL
| A big body forward who is playing the wing at Ohio State but has historically played the middle. More explosiveness will assist with potential move to center. Reliable in all three zones. His off the puck detail and awareness brings trust to be used in a variety of roles. He is deployed at ES and PP at the college level but his 5vs5 / D-zone coverage is trustworthy enough that he could also PK. Dangerous coming off the weak side flank on the PP.

T6
| In need of a reset after his 21/22 season didn't produce the results he was looking for after leaving Boston University for Ottawa (OHL) When he is on he plays a power game and creates distraction with his physical presence. At times he crosses the line but it's part of his DNA when engaged. Can be used net front / bumper on the PP. Moves well. Has the IQ to be used in a variety of roles. A much better player than he showed last season. Clean slate required. Potential to produce secondary offense as a pro. | Mar. 25, 2022 | Sep. 13, 2022 |

| The kind of player that NEVER goes away Always engaged. Plays with an edge. Disrupts plays. Finishes his checks. Goes to the hard areas and battles.

| Has shown positive growth in his game over the last couple seasons A good size forward with a skill element. Thrives in open ice. A threat to produce on the PP. Off the rush he has the ability to create on his own. His three zone detail has improved but there is still more work to be done for the North American pro game. Potential secondary scorer. | Aug. 19, 2022 | Aug. 21, 2022 |
| Claude Giroux | | C | 34 | 1 of 3 | 69
T6
| Veteran forward who continues to produce offense and is one of the top face-off forwards in the entire NHL Used in all situations. Takes charge. Sets plays in all three zones. More of a distributor than a shooter. Picks his spots with his pace off the rush. On occasion he shows an extra gear and deception. Element is offense but the fact he wins as many face-offs as he does gives his team a chance to start with the puck more often than not. | May 7, 2022 | Jul. 12, 2022 |

| Used in all situations . Big. Strong. Moves well. Sound hockey IQ. Had to change his approach this season compared to last. The team is in full rebuild and his production offensively has fallen off with less support surrounding him. No easy minutes. Matches up against top opponents. Alert. Head on a swivel. Reads/Reacts Net front battle and overall defending in hard areas is better than average. Not overly physical. Uses his skating ability to get places ahead of opponents and make plays.

| Stats do not tell the entire story this season Averaged nearly 25:00 per night. Hard minutes. All situations. Plays against top 6 players every time he hits the ice. Sound 'IQ'. Head on a swivel. Aware of his surroundings. Read/React is also reliable. His net front battle / ability to defend in the hard areas is better than average. Brings size, skates well, some bump at times ... but not overly physical Foundational piece to add to a contending team or franchise on the rise. | Jan. 19, 2022 | Jul. 12, 2022 |

| The kind of 'D' that NHL teams are looking for in the middle of their roster. Jorian brings a bit of everything. He has good size. He skates well / can lead or join the rush / elude pressure with his cuts and pivots. He sees the ice and outlets clean. His 2-way / Transitional game is attractive but it's not all he brings to the equation. He closes on opponents in the defensive zone and takes away time and space. A responsible player who has the ability to potentially become a top 4 NHL defender. | Feb. 2, 2022 | Jul. 3, 2022 |

L4
| A big body who leans 'power forward' more than finesse Goes to the net on the PP and sets up as a screen / distraction Off the rush he is more of a chip and chase option. Skating has room for improvement. Competes. Uses his frame in hard areas. Plays to an identity. A complimentary player with some secondary scoring ability but it won't be pretty. He cleans up rebounds / tips pucks / etc. | May 1, 2022 | Jun. 24, 2022 |
