Bruins' Mark Kastelic: On ice Friday
Kastelic (upper body) participated in Friday's camp session, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.
Kastelic missed the final two regular-season games with the Senators last year due to his upper-body injury but appears to be good to go. With his new club, the 25-year-old center should slot into a bottom-six role. Given his limited offensive contributions, Kastelic will be a relative non-factor in fantasy contests, except perhaps in leagues that heavily value hits.

Bruins' Mark Kastelic: Sent to Boston
The Senators traded Kastelic (upper body), Joonas Korpisalo and a 2024 first-round draft pick to the Bruins in exchange for Linus Ullmark on Monday.
Kastelic is currently set to become a restricted free agent after the 2024-25 campaign but will give the Bruins a cheap depth option for at least a year. The 25-year-old forward tallied five goals and 10 points while averaging 7:43 of ice time in 63 games last season. He'll compete for a bottom-six role in training camp.

Senators' Mark Kastelic: Not playing Monday
Kastelic (upper body) won't play Monday against the Rangers, per Gord Wilson of TSN 1200 Ottawa.
Kastelic will miss at least one game after being struck in the head by the puck in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over Montreal. It's unclear at this time if he will be available for Tuesday's season finale versus Boston. Zack Ostapchuk, who was recalled from AHL Belleville on Monday, could play against the Rangers due to Kastelic's absence.

Kastelic scored once and added one hit in the Senators' 5-2 loss to St. Louis on Thursday.

Senators' Mark Kastelic: Nets lone goal in loss
Kastelic scored a goal and added two hits in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Ducks.
Kastelic got a piece of the puck that went in at 2:44 of the first period, but that was all the Senators could muster against Lukas Dostal. The goal was Kastelic's first since Jan. 31 -- he went 12 games without a point, racking up 25 hits and seven shots on goal in that span. The fourth-liner has three goals, one assist, 38 shots on net, 47 PIM and 82 hits over 43 outings this season.

Senators' Mark Kastelic: Pots second goal of season
Kastelic scored his second goal of the season in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Red Wings.
The 24-year-old center opened the scoring for the Senators early in the second period, tipping home a Jacob Bernard-Docker shot from the point. Kastelic's role on the fourth line keeps him far from the fantasy radar -- he has only three points in 30 games this season, and he's seen 10:00 or more of ice time in just two of those contests, the last coming Dec. 31.

Senators' Mark Kastelic: Picks up first point of season
Kastelic logged an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Avalanche.
Kastelic was playing in his fifth game back from an ankle injury. The helper was his first point of the campaign to go with 27 PIM, 13 shots on net, 16 hits and a minus-1 rating over 14 appearances. He's currently holding down a fourth-line role with minimal ice time, so it's possible he could lose his spot in the lineup once Mathieu Joseph (lower body) or Rourke Chartier (upper body) return.

Senators' Mark Kastelic: Lifted from LTIR
Kastelic (ankle) was removed from long-term injured reserve Wednesday, per PuckPedia.com.
Kastelic has missed 14 games with a high-ankle sprain. The 24-year-old should be in line to compete for a bottom-six role as soon as Thursday versus the Blues. Kastelic did not record a point in nine games prior to his injury.

Senators' Mark Kastelic: Shifted to long-term IR
Kastelic (ankle) was moved to long-term injured reserve Thursday, per CapFriendly.
Kastelic has already missed eight games due to his ankle problem, so this move simply rules him out for the Sens' back-to-back against Columbus and Seattle on Friday and Saturday, respectively. By putting both Kastelic and Ridly Greig (lower body) on LTIR, the team freed up the necessary cap space to activate Thomas Chabot off injured reserve.

Senators' Mark Kastelic: Has high-ankle sprain
Per Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun, Kastelic suffered a high-ankle sprain Thursday versus the Kings.
The injury usually means a four-to-six week absence, which explains why coach D.J. Smith said Saturday that Kastelic "won't play any time soon." The 24-year-old Kastelic has yet to garner a point in nine games this season.

Senators' Mark Kastelic: Lands on IR
Kastelic (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Friday, CapFriendly reports.
Kastelic was injured Thursday against the Kings and was expected to miss "a few games." He'll now be out until at least Nov. 11 against Calgary but his timeline is unclear at this time. Ottawa will presumably need to promote a replacement ahead of Saturday's tilt with the Lightning.

Senators' Mark Kastelic: Doubtful for near term
Kastelic (lower body) is doubtful to play in the "next few games," Wayne Scanlan of Sportsnet reports.
While that's not a specific timeline, it appears the Senators will be shorthanded up front for a bit. Kastelic and Ridly Greig (lower body) both left Thursday's game versus the Kings, leaving the Senators with just 16 healthy skaters on the roster and a tight cap situation. They may have to play short Saturday versus the Lightning to earn the right for an emergency recall. Ottawa's next game after Saturday is Wednesday in Toronto, which may give some injured players enough time to heal.

Senators' Mark Kastelic: Sustains lower-body injury
Kastelic exited Thursday's game against LA because of a lower-body injury and won't return.
Kastelic had no points, 21 PIM, eight shots, eight hits and three blocks in eight contests this season prior to Thursday's contest. Ottawa also lost Ridly Greig (lower body) during the match versus the Kings, so depending on the status of those two players, the Senators might need reinforcements from the AHL for Saturday's game against Tampa Bay.

Senators' Mark Kastelic: Snaps nine-game point drought
Kastelic collected a goal in a 5-3 loss to New Jersey on Saturday.
Kastelic found the back of the net late in the second period to tie the contest at 3-3. That marker ended his nine-game scoring drought. Kastelic has five goals, eight points, 60 PIM and 129 hits in 56 appearances this season.

Senators' Mark Kastelic: Back with Ottawa

Senators' Mark Kastelic: Reassigned Tuesday
Kastelic (undisclosed) was reassigned to AHL Belleville on Tuesday.
Kastelic missed the last four games before the All-Star break with the injury. He has to be healthy to be reassigned, but it remains unclear if the 23-year-old will be back with Ottawa following the break.

Senators' Mark Kastelic: Ruled out versus Habs
Kastelic (undisclosed) will not be in the lineup to face Montreal on Tuesday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
Kastelic will be sidelined for his fourth consecutive contest due to his lingering undisclosed injury. Prior to his absence, the 23-year-old natural center managed just one point in his previous 15 games, so fantasy players shouldn't be expecting much in the way of offensive production even once cleared to return.

Senators' Mark Kastelic: Remains out Saturday
Kastelic (undisclosed) will not play Saturday versus the Canadiens, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
Kastelic will miss his third straight game with the mystery injury. The 23-year-old forward's path to playing time could be even less clear once he's healthy, as Tyler Motte (finger) will return to the Senators' lineup Saturday. Kastelic's next chance to play is Tuesday's rematch with the Canadiens.
