The 22-year-old defenseman is up to 23 points (15 on the power play), 84 shots on net, 81 blocked shots, 25 hits and a minus-16 rating over 41 appearances. He's on track to surpass his career-best total of 38 points from last season, but he's experiencing steady progression rather than a major breakout. None

For the season, he has 21 points (13 on the power play), 76 shots on net, 71 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating through 36 appearances, but he's trending in the right direction. None

The 22-year-old defenseman is up to a goal, 16 assists, 66 shots on net, 64 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating through 32 appearances this season. This was just his fourth even-strength point of the campaign -- he has 12 on the power play and one shorthanded assist on his ledger. None

Prior to that slump, he racked up four assists over a three-game span. The defenseman has contributed 15 points (12 on the power play), 57 shots on net, 53 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating through 28 appearances. He's on pace to top the 40-point mark for the first time in his career, but that scoring rate could be endangered if the Senators' power play slumps at any stage of the season. None
Nov. 25, 2024 Sanderson logged two assists, including one on the power play, and three shots on goal in Monday's 4-3 win over the Flames. - Sanderson has four helpers over his last three contests. He assisted on second-period tallies by Drake Batherson and Cole Reinhardt in this game.

Nov. 22, 2024 Sanderson notched an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights. - Sanderson has 10 assists this season, but just three of them have come over 10 outings in November. The 22-year-old defenseman has 11 points (nine on the power play), 38 shots on net, 44 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating through 19 appearances. He's still productive enough to be played in fantasy, but it's fair to be concerned with his consistency and power-play reliance. None
Nov. 7, 2024 Sanderson produced a power-play assist, four blocked shots, two PIM and a minus-3 rating in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Islanders. - Sanderson didn't have his best game defensively, but he was able to salvage it with the helper and blocks. The 22-year-old blueliner has been limited to just two helpers over his last eight games while taking a minus rating five times in that span. He's at nine points (eight on the power play) with 24 shots on net, 32 blocked shots, 11 hits and a minus-8 rating over 13 outings this season. It's not an ideal start to the year, but Sanderson has enough upside for fantasy managers to take a patient approach as he sorts through his struggles in the defensive zone. None
Oct. 27, 2024 Sanderson notched an assist in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Avalanche. - Sanderson took a minus-4 rating in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Golden Knights, but he bounced back with a helper Sunday.

Oct. 19, 2024 Sanderson put up three assists Saturday in a 5-4 win over the Lightning. - Two of the helpers came on the power play; the other came while shorthanded. Sanderson has been dominant with the man advantage - six of his seven points this season (five games) have come on the power play. And he has points in all but one of the Sens' games so far. Last season, Sanderson delivered 38 points, including 14 with the extra man. The predicted ascendance is upon us. None
Oct. 15, 2024 Sanderson scored a goal on two shots and added an assist, both on the power play, in Monday's 8-7 overtime win over the Kings. - Sanderson has earned all three of his points this season with the man advantage. He's playing on the first unit as well on the top pairing at even strength. The 22-year-old blueliner has added six shots on net, 12 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through three contests. He could top the 40-point mark for the first time in his career in 2024-25. None
April 13, 2024 Sanderson delivered three assists in a 5-4 shootout win over Montreal on Saturday. - Two came on the power play. Sanderson has 38 points, including 28 assists, in 77 games this season.

The 21-year-old is an impressive defender, and he has just two seasons under his belt. None
April 7, 2024 Sanderson found the back of the net in a 3-2 overtime win over the Capitals on Sunday. - Only 41 seconds into the extra frame, Sanderson scored the overtime winner for his 10th goal of the season. He also added one shot on net, one hit and an even rating in 25:05 of ice time. This was his second multi-point performance in as many games and he is now at 35 points over 74 contests this season. The Senators will play on the road against the Panthers on Tuesday. None
March 12, 2024 Sanderson registered a goal and an assist in the 2-1 overtime win over the Penguins on Tuesday. - It was a goaltending duel between Joonas Korpisalo and Tristan Jarry until Sanderson broke the goose egg halfway in the third period.

The 2020 first-round draft pick finished with four shots and a plus-2 rating in 23:02 of ice time to go along with his two points. Sanderson is now on a modest three-game point streak, scoring one goal and three assists over that span. The 21-year old defenseman may eventually be a star but right now he is only averaging half-a-point a game on the season. None
March 8, 2024 Sanderson posted a power-play assist, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Kings. - Sanderson has four assists, including two on the power play, over his last 11 outings. He's had trouble stringing offense together for much of the campaign, but he plays well enough all around to maintain a top-four role.

Sanderson had a power-play assist and three blocked shots in 25:06 of ice time Tuesday, so it's unclear when the injury occurred. The results of the tests will likely determine his availability for Friday's game versus the Coyotes. None
Feb. 19, 2024 Sanderson recorded an assist in Monday's 4-2 win over the Lightning. - Sanderson set up a Tim Stutzle tally in the first period. The helper ended a five-game slump for Sanderson, who also missed three games with a lower-body injury in that span. The 21-year-old blueliner has had more positives than negatives in his second campaign, racking up 25 points, 100 shots on net, 91 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 49 appearances in a top-four role. Just six of his points have come on the power play, so there may still be some room for him to grow his game in that area. None
Feb. 17, 2024 Sanderson (lower body) is slated to return Saturday versus Chicago. - Sanderson, who missed the Senators' last three contests, has seven goals and 24 points in 47 outings in 2023-24.

He has seven goals, 24 points, 26 hits and 89 blocks in 47 appearances this season. Travis Hamonic's (lower body) status for Saturday's contest remains to be seen, but if Ottawa has to play without Hamonic and Sanderson, then the Senators will need to recall a blueliner from the minors. None
Jan. 31, 2024 Sanderson (lower body) won't return to Wednesday's game versus the Red Wings. - Sanderson sustained the injury in the first period and was ruled out during the second. He may benefit from the All-Star break -- the Senators don't play again until Feb. 10 against the Maple Leafs, giving him time to heal without missing games if it's a minor injury. None
Jan. 17, 2024 Sanderson produced a goal on a team-high six shots on net while adding an assist, two PIM and a plus-1 rating in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to Colorado. - It was the first multi-point performance since Dec. 19 for the 21-year-old blueliner, and his second-period tally snapped a 16-game goal drought. The Senators are trying not to overwork Sanderson in his second NHL season -- he saw less than 20:00 of ice time Tuesday for the first time in seven games, and Thomas Chabot handled duties on the first power-play unit -- but Sanderson's stayed relatively productive with eight points in the last 14 contests, including three helpers with the man advantage. None
Jan. 2, 2024 Sanderson registered an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Canucks. - Sanderson has six helpers over his last eight games, including three on the power play. The 21-year-old blueliner was bumped to the second power-play unit with the return of Thomas Chabot on Sunday.

He's up to 20 points, 60 shots on net, 70 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 33 outings overall. None
Dec. 19, 2023 Sanderson produced a pair of assists and blocked five shots in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Coyotes. - Sanderson helped out on goals by Angus Crookshank and Josh Norris in the first period. This was Sanderson's first multi-point game since Nov. 16 -- in the 12 contests in between, he had just one goal and two assists. The defenseman is up to 17 points (five on the power play), 51 shots on net, 57 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 27 outings overall. None
Dec. 17, 2023 Sanderson provided a power-play assist, fired two shots on goal and went minus-2 in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Golden Knights. - Sanderson's helper was his 10th of the season. The 21-year-old defenseman has hit some growing pains with just three points over his last 12 contests, though he's maintained a steady top-four role and added 29 blocked shots in that span. He's got a high floor defensively, which will help him avoid demotions in the lineup. Sanderson has 15 points, 51 shots on net, 52 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 26 appearances this season. None
Nov. 16, 2023 Sanderson scored a goal and delivered an assist in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Red Wings. - After lighting the lamp himself midway through the first period, Sanderson initiated the wild scramble in the Detroit end that led to Tim Stutzle's OT winner with just two seconds left on the clock. Sanderson continues to look far more seasoned than a 21-year-old blueliner in his second NHL season should, and through 14 games the fifth overall pick in the 2020 Draft has racked up four goals and 12 points with 26 shots on net, 23 blocked shots, seven hits, four PIM and an even plus-minus rating. None
Oct. 21, 2023 Sanderson scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Red Wings. - The 21-year-old blueliner has come flying out of the gate in his second NHL season, piling up three goals and six points in five games, and Sanderson's hot start has allowed him to rocket past Thomas Chabot and Jakob Chychrun to take over point duties on the Senators' first power-play unit. The eight-year, $64 million contract extension he signed in September indicates the amount of faith the team has in Sanderson, and he may not relinquish his spot to one of his talented veteran teammates any time soon. None
Oct. 18, 2023 Sanderson scored a goal, recorded an assist, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Capitals. - Sanderson got on the scoresheet for the third straight game, and this was his second multi-point effort of the campaign. He's at two goals, three assists, five shots on net, five blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through four contests. His defense partner, Artem Zub, left the game with an upper-body injury. Sanderson has been working on the second pairing, and he was elevated to the first power-play unit over Thomas Chabot for Wednesday's game. None
Oct. 14, 2023 Sanderson scored the game-winning goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Flyers. - It was a big game for Ottawa defensemen, as Jakob Chychrun scored the first two goals of the afternoon on the way to a three-point performance, but Sanderson potted the eventual GWG on an absolute rocket from just inside the blue line late in the second period. The 21-year-old is coming off a strong rookie season that earned him an eight-year contract extension just before the season started, and while he's splitting power-play time with Chychrun and Thomas Chabot, Sanderson is already showing that he can still make an impact even if he isn't the team's No. 1 option on the back end. None
Sept. 6, 2023 Sanderson signed an eight-year, $64.4 million contract extension with the Senators on Wednesday. - Sanderson is entering the final year of his entry-level contract, so his new deal won't kick in until 2024-25. It didn't take long for the Senators to sign the Montana native to a long-term deal after he posted four goals and 28 assists over 77 contests as a rookie last season. Sanderson is now officially a core part of the Senators' defense, alongside Thomas Chabot and Artem Zub. Jakob Chychrun could also be in that mix if he stays with the team beyond the expiration of his current contract at the end of next season. Expect Sanderson to see top-four minutes and some power-play time in 2023-24. None
April 9, 2023 Sanderson supplied a pair of assists to complement a plus-4 rating in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Lightning. - This was the best game of Sanderson's rookie campaign. The fifth overall pick from 2020 -- who also had four shots on goal -- upped his total to 27 assists and 31 points through 75 contests. His latest pair of apples took place at even strength, but Sanderson has 16 total points on the power play as a sign that he's going to rapidly mature into an elite blue-line talent. None
March 17, 2023 Sanderson had a pair of assists Thursday as Ottawa dropped a 5-4 decision to Colorado. - Sanderson has four goals and 24 assists in 63 games in 2022-23.

March 10, 2023 Sanderson produced an assist, three shots on goal, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Kraken. - Claude Giroux stole the puck in the corner and fed Sanderson, who then passed to Alex DeBrincat on the game-winning goal. Over his last three games, Sanderson has three helpers -- his ice time has dipped a bit, but he's not being negatively impacted by the addition of Jakob Chychrun. Sanderson is up to 25 points, 93 shots on net, 100 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 59 outings overall. None
March 4, 2023 Sanderson posted two assists and one shot, helping the Senators to a 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets on Saturday. - Sanderson would pick up helpers on both of Travis Hamonic's goals.

Sanderson has two goals and 17 assists -- including a goal and nine helpers on the man advantage -- through 48 games.

Jan. 25, 2023 Sanderson dished out two assists -- one on the power play -- in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Islanders. - Sanderson played a role in both of Ottawa's goals.

Dec. 8, 2022 Sanderson produced an assist, three shots on goal and four blocked shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Stars. - Sanderson snapped a five-game point drought with a helper on defense partner Travis Hamonic's third-period tally. As a 20-year-old rookie blueliner, there's bound to be some ups and downs in Sanderson's game, though he's too talented to stay quiet for long. The American has a goal, 11 assists, 47 shots on net, 40 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating in 26 contests overall. None
Nov. 24, 2022 Sanderson scored a power-play goal on two shots and blocked three shots in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights. - While the end result wasn't in the Senators' favor, Sanderson will likely remember this game for a long time. His first career goal came in the final minute of the first period on a shot that deflected into the net. The 20-year-old defenseman has looked right at home in a top-four role, logging 10 points, 34 shots on net, 30 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 19 appearances. With Thomas Chabot (concussion) activated from injured reserve Wednesday, it wouldn't be surprising to see Sanderson's role reduced slightly, though he's earned a spot in the Senators' top four. None
Nov. 16, 2022 Sanderson dished out two assists -- one on the power play -- to go with four shots, five blocked shots, two hits and a plus-1 rating in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Sabres. - Sanderson took on a prominent role in all situations with Thomas Chabot sidelined by a concussion, as his team-high 24:55 TOI included 5:41 on the power play and 6:46 shorthanded. The extended usage on the man advantage paid dividends in the second period, when Sanderson had a hand in Brady Tkachuk's game-winning goal. Sanderson's still searching for his first NHL goal, but the fifth player selected in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft has shown plenty of offensive prowess in his young NHL career, dishing out nine helpers in his first 16 games. None
Oct. 22, 2022 Sanderson (face) is good to go Saturday against Arizona, TSN TSN 1200 Ottawa. - Senators coach D.J. Smith said there wouldn't be any lineup changes for Saturday's afternoon clash with the Coyotes. Sanderson's lip required 15 stitches after he took a stick to the face Thursday night. The 20-year-old rookie defenseman has one assist, three shots on goal, four blocks and six hits in four games this campaign. Sanderson has averaged 19:43 of ice time so far. None
Oct. 21, 2022 Sanderson will undergo an X-ray on Friday to ensure he didn't suffer any further damage after taking a stick to the mouth during Thursday's win over the Capitals, Ian Mendes of TSN 1200 Ottawa reports. - Sanderson required 15 stitches to close the gash in his lip after taking a stick to the face Thursday, and the Senators clearly want to make sure that their top defensive prospect didn't suffer any further damage before clearing him to play Saturday against Arizona. An update on the 2020 fifth overall pick should surface prior to puck drop versus the Coyotes. None
Oct. 17, 2022 Sanderson picked up his first career point Saturday in a 3-2 loss to Toronto. - Sanderson drew the secondary assist on Shane Pinto's power play goal to give Ottawa a 1-0 lead. Sanderson was the first defenseman drafted in 2020, going fifth overall. He had eight goals and 26 points in 23 games for the University of North Dakota last season and should be in line for 35-40 points in his rookie season. None
Sept. 23, 2022 Sanderson will start his NHL career paired with a veteran defenseman, per Ken Warren of the Ottawa Citizen. - Sanderson was drafted fifth overall in 2020 and should be a top-four defenseman to start his NHL career. Travis Hamonic is getting the first shot to pair with Sanderson and if the two do not click, then Nick Holden could be next in line. Sanderson is a special talent with plenty of offensive upside, as he managed eight goals and 26 points in 23 games for the University of North Dakota as a sophomore last season. None
May 25, 2022 Sanderson (hand) will be ready for the Senators' development camp in September, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports. - Sanderson wasn't able to make his NHL debut this year due to a hand injury, but the fifth overall pick from the 2020 Entry Draft will be ready for Ottawa's development camp, and he'll presumably attend the Senators' training camp shortly thereafter. Sanderson racked up 26 points through 23 appearances with the University of North Dakota in 2021-22. None
April 23, 2022 Sanderson, who's dealing with a hand injury, isn't expected to be ready to make his NHL debut before the end of the season, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports. - Sanderson will almost certainly have to wait for the 2022-23 campaign to make his NHL debut. The fifth overall pick from the 2020 Entry Draft racked up 26 points through 23 appearances with the University of North Dakota this year. None
March 24, 2022 Sanderson underwent hand surgery and will miss 4-6 weeks, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports. - Sanderson remains a possibility to play for the Senators this season, though he'll need to sign his entry-level contract to do so. The 19-year-old was taken fifth overall in 2020 and posted 26 points in 23 games with the University of North Dakota this season. If he doesn't return before the end of the Senators season, it's likely Sanderson will make the jump to the professional ranks for 2022-23. None
March 21, 2022 Sanderson is expected to make the NHL roster for the 2022-23 campaign according to general manager Pierre Dorian, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports. - Sanderson racked up 26 points in 23 games for the University of North Dakota this season. The 2020 fifth-overall pick will need to sign an entry-level deal before he can link up with the Senators, something that could happen whenever the FIghting Hawks season concludes. None
