2025 Fantasy Outlook
Matinpalo earned himself a two-year extension after appearing in 41 regular-season games and all six Senators playoff games last campaign. The 26-year-old (27 on Oct. 5) had only four points, 25 hits and 29 blocked shots in those regular-season outings while logging 12:37 of ice time per game. Combine his lack of counting stats with the fact that he might not be part of the Opening Night lineup, and he lacks much meaningful fantasy value in any context. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year, $1.75 million contract extension with the Senators in May of 2025.
Won't play against San Jose
Matinpalo (undisclosed) is not in the lineup for Saturday's road contest versus the Sharks.
ANALYSIS
Matinpalo was hurt during Thursday's game in Anaheim. While he won't be an option for Saturday's game, Ottawa will get Thomas Chabot, who missed the last three games as a result of an upper-body injury, back in the lineup. The Sens' next game is Monday in Los Angeles.
