Senators' Travis Hamonic: Shows physicality in loss
Rotowire
Hamonic registered one shot on goal and two hits in 11:35 of ice time during Monday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Capitals.
Hamonic threw his 6-foot frame around Monday, registering the only two hits that came from Ottawa's defensive corps. However, the 34-year-old has yet to record a point since a lower-body injury kept him out for most of January, and he has just three points in 49 games this year. With Ottawa's defensive minutes distribution leaving little for the third pair consisting of Hamonic and Nikolas Matinpalo, the potential for much fantasy value is not there.

Rotowire
Hamonic logged an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Wild.
Hamonic has two helpers over his last five contests. The 34-year-old defenseman is rarely a source of consistent offense -- his defensive play is what keeps him in the lineup in a top-four role.

Senators' Travis Hamonic: Gets on scoresheet with helper
Rotowire
Hamonic notched an assist in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Flyers.
The assist, which came on a Brady Tkachuk goal in the first period, was Hamonic's first point of the campaign. What he's lacked in offense, he's made up for in blocked shots, tallying 33 of them over 16 contests. Hamonic has added 22 hits, 22 shots on net, six PIM and a minus-7 rating. The 34-year-old appears to have the upper hand for the last spot on the blue line over Jacob Bernard-Docker, but Hamonic's lack of offense severely limits his fantasy value.

Senators' Travis Hamonic: No points but steady role
Rotowire
Hamonic has yet to get on the scoresheet through the Senators' first 10 games.
While the points haven't popped up, Hamonic is seeing consistent top-four usage in a shutdown role. He has racked up 23 blocked shots, 16 hits, 17 shots on net, six PIM and a minus-5 rating. The 34-year-old is a defensive specialist who has exceeded 20 points just once in the last eight seasons, so he can likely be ignored in fantasy formats that don't count blocks.

Senators' Travis Hamonic: Recovers from injury
Rotowire
Hamonic is considered fully healthy after undergoing a knee surgery, Steve Warne of The Hockey News reports.
Hamonic missed 24 of Ottawa's final 25 games last season. The 34-year-old defenseman has been absent for significant stretches of three of the past four campaigns, so it's tough to see him exceeding the 70-game mark in 2024-25, especially given his propensity to block shots. Hamonic will be competing with Jacob Bernard-Docker for a third-pairing spot in 2024-25.
