Senators' Jake Sanderson: Won't play Thursday
Sanderson (lower body) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Flyers, Claire Hanna of TSN reports.
Sanderson suffered a lower-body injury Saturday against the Maple Leafs and was unavailable for the end of the Senators' recent road trip. The team returns home Thursday, but the 24-year-old will be unavailable for at least one additional matchup. It's not yet clear when Sanderson will be able to return, but Cameron Crotty should continue to see time in the lineup during his absence.

Senators' Jake Sanderson: Out for remainder of road trip
Sanderson (lower body) will miss at least the next two games, starting with Monday's matchup against Boston, Jackson Starr of the Senators' official site reports.
Sanderson's injury isn't as bad as the Senators first thought, but he has returned to Ottawa and will miss the remainder of the team's season-opening road trip. It's unclear when the 24-year-old blueliner will be ready to return. He logged only 4:29 of ice time in Saturday's 3-2 win over Toronto. Cameron Crotty will replace Sanderson in Monday's lineup against the Bruins.

Sanderson departed Saturday's game versus the Maple Leafs due to a lower-body injury, Julian McKenzie of The Athletic reports.
Sanderson is set for further evaluation Sunday, and the team will know more in the next few days.

His status for Monday's game in Boston remains up in the air.

Senators' Jake Sanderson: Exits Saturday's game
Sanderson (undisclosed) exited Saturday's game against Toronto and won't return to the contest.
Sanderson was questionable for Saturday's tilt, and he ultimately logged just 4:29 of ice time before his night was done. The 24-year-old appeared to aggravate an injury, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet, so Sanderson's exit might be related to his previous issue.

Sanderson (undisclosed) will play against Toronto on Saturday, per Jackson Starr of the Senators' official site.
Sanderson had been dealing with an undisclosed injury, but he will be in the lineup for the start of the 2026-27 campaign. He registered 14 goals, 54 points, 147 shots on net and 128 blocked shots over 67 appearances for Ottawa during the 2025-26 regular season.

Senators' Jake Sanderson: Could return Saturday
Sanderson (undisclosed) might be available for Saturday's clash with the Maple Leafs after returning to practice Friday, Graeme Nichols of The Hockey News reports.
Sanderson appears to be trending in the right direction after missing several days of practice. The fact that the Senators sent Hoyt Stanley down to the minors also seems to indicate that Sanderson will be ready to suit up. If given the all-clear, the blueliner should take his spot on the top power-play unit.

At this point, his status for Ottawa's season opener in Toronto on Saturday is unclear.

Senators' Jake Sanderson: Leaves game for precautionary reasons
Sanderson (undisclosed) didn't complete Saturday's preseason game against Montreal for precautionary reasons.
Ottawa's season opener isn't until next Saturday in Toronto, so Sanderson has plenty of time to recover before he's in danger of missing the game. The 24-year-old blueliner had 14 goals and 54 points in 67 regular-season appearances with the Senators in 2025-26.

Sanderson has recovered from his minor issue and will get a final tune-up before the 2026-27 campaign begins. The 24-year-old blueliner generated 14 goals, 54 points, 147 shots on net and 128 blocked shots across 67 appearances during the 2025-26 regular season.

Senators' Jake Sanderson: Doesn't skate Wednesday
Sanderson didn't skate Wednesday due to a minor undisclosed issue, Claire Hanna of TSN reports.
Head coach Travis Green hesitated to label the reason for Sanderson's absence as an injury, so fantasy managers likely shouldn't worry. Sanderson isn't expected to play in either of Wednesday's split-squad preseason games against Toronto. Still, it wouldn't be surprising if he was fine for the start of the 2026-27 campaign.

Senators' Jake Sanderson: Ruled out for Game 4
Sanderson has been ruled out for Saturday's Game 4 against the Hurricanes due to a concussion, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.
Sanderson exited Thursday's Game 3 against the Hurricanes due to an apparent head injury, and he'll be unavailable for at least one additional matchup after being diagnosed with a concussion. Head coach Travis Green said Friday that Sanderson is "not doing well," so it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return later in the Senators' first-round series if the team wins Saturday.

Senators' Jake Sanderson: Exits early in Game 3
Sanderson won't return to Game 3 versus the Hurricanes.
Sanderson was injured in the second period, though a couple of incidents could have led to his departure. The team didn't provide an update when declaring him out for the game, but Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports Sanderson's injury stems from a hit to the head. If Sanderson misses any time, the Senators will likely have a tall task in getting through the first round. His status for Saturday's Game 4 has yet to be determined.

Sanderson registered two assists, two shots on goal, three hits and four blocked shots in Monday's 3-2 double-overtime loss to the Hurricanes.

This is his second taste of the playoffs after earning three points over six postseason contests last spring.
