Chychrun scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Maple leafs.
He also chipped in two shots on goal, two PIM, one blocked shot and an impressive plus-4 rating. Chychrun tied the score at 3-3 midway through the second period on a one-timer from the top of the faceoff circle to the right of Joseph Woll, then the blueliner helped set up Dominik Kubalik for the game-winner in the third. Chychrun has had a strong start to his first full season in Ottawa, finding the scoresheet in eight of 11 games and piling up five goals and 11 points.

Senators' Jakob Chychrun: Adds fourth goal
Rotowire
Chychrun scored a goal on a team-high nine shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Islanders.
Chychrun did his best to spur the Senators' offense Thursday, logging nine shots in a team-high 28:12 of action, including 5:24 on the power play. He tied the game 2-2 in the second period, firing a wrister through traffic that snuck by Ilya Sorokin. The 25-year-old Chychrun now has goals in back-to-back games and is up to seven points (four goals, three assists) through seven games to start his first full season with Ottawa.

Senators' Jakob Chychrun: Three-point effort against Flyers
Rotowire
Chychrun scored two goals, one on the power play, and added a power-play assist in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.
The former Coyote was all over the scoresheet with three shots, two blocked shots, two PIM, one hit and a plus-2 rating, and Chychrun wired home the first two goals of the game to set the Sens toward their first win of the season. The 25-year-old blueliner is seeing a big role with the man advantage so far, and after managing only two goals and five points over 12 games with Ottawa in 2022-23, Chychrun appears much more comfortable with his new team to kick off the current campaign.

Senators' Jakob Chychrun: Done for season
Rotowire
Chychrun (hamstring) will not suit up again this season, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
Chychrun suffered the injury against Tampa Bay on March 23 and was given a 2-3 week timeframe for his return. The Senators don't want to rush back the oft-injured blueliner, so look for Chychrun to be ready to go in September for training camp. He ends the season with seven goals and 24 assists in 48 games split between Ottawa and Arizona.

Senators' Jakob Chychrun: Doubtful against New Jersey
Rotowire
Chychrun (undisclosed) is considered doubtful to play Saturday versus the Devils, Steve Lloyd of TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
Unless the Senators release another update indicating otherwise prior to puck drop, at this point it's safe to assume Chychrun won't be available Saturday. With Chychrun set to be sidelined, look for Nick Holden to draw into the lineup against New Jersey.

Senators' Jakob Chychrun: One of each Thursday
Rotowire
Chychrun scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Kraken.
Chychrun was involved in the Senators' first two goals. He's picked up a pair of multi-point efforts across his first four games with his new team. The 24-year-old defenseman is up to nine tallies, 32 points, 123 shots on net, 64 blocked shots, 47 hits and a plus-10 rating through 40 appearances this season. He's on the third pairing at even strength, but the Senators' blue line remains somewhat fluid to allow Chychrun a bit more ice time than that role would suggest.

Senators' Jakob Chychrun: Scores first points as a Senator
Rotowire
Chychrun scored a goal and an assist on two shots, fueling the Senators to a 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets on Saturday.
Chychrun scored his first goal as a Senator with a wrist shot from the top of the faceoff circle that beat Elvis Merzlikins to give Ottawa a 4-1 lead. He would also add an assist on Tim Stutzle's goal in the first period. On the season, Chychrun has eight goals and 30 points in 38 games.

Senators' Jakob Chychrun: Mistake-free debut in new uniform
Rotowire
Chychrun played 19:16 and finished plus-1 in a 5-3 win over the Rangers on Thursday. It was his Senators debut.
Chychrun was solid in his debut and didn't really stand out. That's pretty good for a guy who hasn't practiced with his new team or even played in about three weeks. Ottawa has been Chychrun's second home for a long time -- his dad is from the city, and his grandfather and sister live there. So pulling on a Sens jersey is like a dream come true for him. Chychrun will likely soon find his footing and his offense alongside the emerging young powerhouse in Canada's capital.

Senators' Jakob Chychrun: Debuting Thursday
Rotowire
Chychrun will play on the third pairing in his Senators debut Thursday versus the Rangers, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.
Chychrun was acquired from the Coyotes on Wednesday after an eight-game absence for asset protection. The 24-year-old defenseman appears set to be eased in with his new team, though it's expected he'll also see some power-play time.

Senators' Jakob Chychrun: Dealt to Ottawa
Rotowire
Chychrun was traded from the Coyotes to the Senators on Wednesday in exchange for a 2023 first-round pick, a 2024 second-round pick (via the Capitals) and a second-round pick in 2026.
The biggest blue-line target for the trade deadline is now on the move, as Chychrun will join a Senators team on the upswing. The first two picks are conditional -- the 2023 first-rounder is top-five protected, and the 2024 second-rounder could become a first if the Senators make the Eastern Conference Finals this season. It's unclear if Chychrun will be ready to play Thursday versus the Rangers after the Coyotes scratched him for the last eight games, but he could be in line to debut Saturday versus the Blue Jackets. The 24-year-old defenseman has 28 points in 36 contests this season, and he joins a defense corps that also features Thomas Chabot and Jake Sanderson at its core.

Coyotes' Jakob Chychrun: Continues to sit
Rotowire
Chychrun will continue to sit as a healthy scratch for trade-related reasons Wednesday versus Calgary, Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports reports.
The Coyotes aren't going to risk Chychrun suffering an injury prior to the trade deadline, so at this point it's probably safe to assume he won't see game action until he's wearing a new team's sweater. In the highly unlikely event Arizona is unable to come to terms with another team on a trade for Chychrun, he should return to action following the March 3 deadline date.

Coyotes' Jakob Chychrun: Game-time decision
Rotowire
Chychrun (not injury related) will be a game-time decision Monday against Nashville, Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports reports.
Chychrun did not take part in Monday's morning skate. He was a healthy scratch Saturday against St. Louis for trade-related reasons. It wouldn't be a surprise if he ended up sitting again Monday. Chychrun has amassed 28 points, 114 shots on goal, 56 blocks and 43 hits in 36 games this season.

Coyotes' Jakob Chychrun: Scratched for trade reasons
Rotowire
Chychrun will be a healthy scratch Saturday versus St. Louis for what the Coyotes called "trade-related reasons."
Chychrun has seven goals, 28 points, 43 hits and 56 blocks in 36 games while averaging 23:16 of ice time this season. It's not guaranteed that Chychrun will be traded in the near future, but the Coyotes' statement certainly makes it sound like they are at least close to moving him. Toronto, Boston, LA, Florida and Edmonton are among the teams that have been previously cited as potential destinations for the 24-year-old. Meanwhile, Dysin Mayo was summoned from AHL Tucson on Saturday.

Chychrun set up Clayton Keller's tally just 1:28 into the game. The helper was Chychrun's third point in two games since the All-Star break. The 24-year-old defenseman has the spotlight all to himself on the Coyotes' blue line with Shayne Gostisbehere (upper body) out, and Chychrun is making the most of it. He has seven goals, 21 helpers, 114 shots on net, 56 blocked shots, 43 hits and a plus-8 rating through 36 appearances.
