Senators' Mathieu Joseph: Assists on three goals in win
Rotowire
Joseph skated to a plus-3 rating with three assists in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Maple Leafs.
With three goals and eight assists on the young season, Joseph is operating at a point-per-game pace. However, despite Ottawa's intent to get him more involved on the power play, he has yet to bear fruit in that area, as he's still pursuing his first goal and helper on the man advantage. So far, Joseph's best season actually was his rookie campaign in 2018-19, when he averaged just 11:22 of ice time yet still managed 26 points in 70 games for the Lightning. Fantasy mangers who took a late-round flier on Joseph are reaping the rewards this time around, as he's showing what he can do with an expanded role for the Senators, but he'll have to convert some power-play opportunities to sustain the hot start.
Joseph scored a goal and added an assist Tuesday in a 6-4 loss to Buffalo.
Joseph's amazing technicolor start to the season continued Tuesday. He has a remarkable six points (three goals, three assists) in six games so far. Joseph is not a point-per-game player, but he's performing a lot like the player the Sens got at the deadline in 2021-22 (12 points in 11 games) and nothing like the 18-point guy (56 games) from last season. Joseph is taking advantage of every opportunity right now and may still be on the wire in your league.
