2025 Fantasy Outlook
Batherson had 26 goals and 68 points across 82 regular-season outings with Ottawa in 2024-25, making it his third straight campaign with at least 20 goals and 60 points. The 27-year-old gets a lot of his value from the power play, which accounted for nearly half of his points (31) last campaign. That makes him somewhat dependent on maintaining a spot on the top power-play unit for his production, but given his track record of success, Ottawa is expected to keep him in that role. Batherson also has a physical aspect of his game -- he had 30 PIM and 149 hits in 2024-25 -- which gives him some added versatility in certain fantasy leagues. We’ve probably seen Batherson’s peak, but he’s likely to maintain it for several years to come, especially because he’s stayed remarkably healthy with an active iron man streak of 256 consecutive games.

Lands on IR
Batherson (upper body) was moved to injured reserve Monday.
ANALYSIS
Batherson probably won't be ready for Opening Night against Tampa Bay on Thursday, but he is eligible to be activated whenever he receives clearance to return. He accounted for 26 goals, 68 points, 192 shots on net and 149 hits across 82 regular-season games in 2024-25. Once he's healthy, Batherson will likely occupy a top-six role and see power-play time.

2019
Batherson scored 28 goals and 66 points in 82 contests last season, making it the second straight campaign in which he set a new career high in goals and the fifth consecutive season of him improving upon his personal best in points. At the age of 26, he's probably not going to grow much more, but what he's developed into is still very impressive, especially for a forward who was taken with the No. 121 overall pick in 2017 but now ranks ninth in career points among members of that draft class. While playing primarily alongside Brady Tkachuk, Batherson should supply around 25 goals and 65 points again this campaign. He won't help much in non-offensive categories, but his 42 PIM and 98 hits in 2023-24 did border on being noteworthy, so there's at least a little extra to his game as a cherry on top.
