Chabot notched an assist, three shots on goal and three blocked shots in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Avalanche.

Chabot has a helper in two of the last three contests. The 27-year-old defenseman is playing on the second pairing and second power-play unit, though the Senators' strong team offense has allowed scoring to be spread throughout the lineup. Chabot has earned four points, 21 shots on net, 19 blocks, eight hits and a minus-3 rating over eight appearances.

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. This was just his second even-strength point of the campaign -- the defenseman has earned six of his eight points with the man advantage. Sanderson has added 16 shots on net, 23 blocked shots, nine hits and a minus-5 rating over eight appearances while serving as the Senators' top blueliner.

Makar notched an assist and blocked two shots in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Senators.

Makar kept his point streak alive with a helper on Ross Colton's goal with 4:59 left in the third period. The 25-year-old Makar has found the scoresheet in all nine games, racking up a total of three goals, 13 assists, 22 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating. The superstar blueliner is playing at a level that's above even his impressive skills, and he should have no trouble finishing above a point-per-game pace in 2024-25 even if he regresses a bit.

Girard notched two assists and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Senators.

Girard has three helpers over his last four contests. The 26-year-old defenseman is being deployed as usual in a second-pairing role with a little power-play time, but he isn't finding much consistency. He has five assists, three shots on goal, seven hits, 15 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over nine games this season.

Manson scored a goal and added two hits in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Senators.

Manson stretched the Avalanche's lead to 2-0 with a goal late in the second period. The defenseman has been steady on both sides of the puck despite the Avalanche's early defensive struggles. He's collected four points, 15 shots on net, 18 hits, 14 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-5 rating over nine outings. Manson has yet to go more than two games without a point.

Ekholm banked two assists in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win versus Detroit.

Ekholm registered a secondary assist on Evan Bouchard's game-tying goal in the final frame before setting up Leon Draisaitl for the winner in overtime. In addition to racking up his fourth point over his last two outings, Ekholm added one shot, one block and a plus-3 rating in 23:49 of ice time. Ekholm is one of the NHL's more complete defensemen, and he's showing it early on in 2024-25 -- the 34-year-old is third on the team in points with seven, behind only Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.

Bouchard found the back of the net and added a helper in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Red Wings.

Bouchard registered a secondary assist on Leon Draisaitl's goal in the middle frame before tying the game at two apiece at 10:47 of the third period. Bouchard added four blocks and a plus-3 rating in a team-high 25:13 of ice time. After a slow start to the season with just one goal in his first six outings, Bouchard is riding a three-game point streak consisting of two goals and three assists. The right-shot blueliner can extend his streak to four in Monday's road matchup versus Columbus.

Sanheim scored twice and added an assist in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Canadiens.

Sanheim had a standout effort in the loss. He's improved on offense recently, with all five of his points this season coming over the last four games. Sanheim still didn't see steady power-play time Sunday, even with Egor Zamula scratched and Cam York (upper body) on injured reserve. The 28-year-old Sanheim has added 26 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over nine contests, but his offense is likely to struggle if he's stuck in a mostly defensive role.

Struble logged an assist, two shots on goal and four hits in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Flyers.

Struble picked up his first point of the campaign when he helped out on Nick Suzuki's first-period tally. The 23-year-old Struble is in competition with Arber Xhekaj and Logan Mailloux for one spot in the lineup once Justin Barron (upper body) and Kaiden Guhle (upper body) are healthy. Struble has added six shots on net, 10 hits, five blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over four appearances.

Mailloux logged an assist in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Flyers.

Mailloux again saw low ice time, skating for just 13:31 of Sunday's win despite being listed on the top pairing. The 21-year-old has two points through four appearances, but he also has a minus-2 rating, two PIM, three hits, five blocked shots and five shots on net. With Kaiden Guhle (upper body) landing on injured reserve Sunday, Mailloux may have a bit more time to make an impression, but it's likely he'll head back to AHL Laval at some point.
