Senators' Matthew Highmore: Provides insurance tally Saturday
Highmore scored an empty-net goal and went plus-1 in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Panthers.
This was Highmore's first goal since Jan. 12, a span of 33 games between tallies. He had just four helpers, 29 shots on goal, 41 hits, 18 blocked shots, six PIM and a minus-7 rating during that stretch, so he doesn't provide enough value in other categories to warrant much consideration in the fantasy realm. The 29-year-old has contributed two goals and six points while averaging 11:10 of ice time over 36 appearances in 2024-25, mainly in a fourth-line role.

Senators' Matthew Highmore: Snaps slump with assist
Highmore recorded an assist and two hits in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Red Wings.
Highmore set up Michael Amadio's third-period tally, which stood as the game-winner. The assist ended a 17-game dry spell for Highmore, who had just 11 shots on net and a minus-8 rating in that span. The 29-year-old has at least maintained a fourth-line role, but his lack of production makes him too risky to trust in fantasy. For the season, he's at five points, 28 shots on net, 36 hits, 16 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating across 31 appearances.

Senators' Matthew Highmore: Struggling to score
Highmore's point drought reached 10 games in Monday's 2-1 win over the Red Wings.
In that span, Highmore has eight shots on net, a minus-6 rating and 11 hits. The 29-year-old forward is locked in on the fourth line, but steady playing time is unlikely to lead to much offense given the strength of the Senators' top six. Highmore is at four points, 24 shots on net, 22 hits and a minus-6 rating through 23 contests overall.
