1 year agoOttawa Senators winger Drake Batherson scored a pair of goals in a 4-2 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs. Batherson tied the game late in the second period and then put the Sens on top for good in the third, collecting the game-winning goal. The 25-year-old has been on fire for the better part of two months now, notching 23 points (11 goals, 12 assists) in his last 19 games. He is somehow available in a decent amount of fantasy leagues, so be sure the check your waiver wire to see if he's out there.

1 year agoOttawa Senators right wing Drake Batherson produced a four-point outing as the team beat Florida 4-2 in a preseason game on Sunday. Batherson collected a hat trick of assists, including one on the power play, and completed his four-point game with an empty-net goal. The 25-year-old made his third preseason appearance and now has five points (one goal, four assists) on his account. Batherson has scored only once in preseason, and even that came with the net empty, but he's been very active in the offensive zone, producing 18 shots on goal. The American winger will look for further improvement in 2023-24 from a career-high 62 points (22 goals, 40 assists) he posted last term.

2 years agoOttawa Senators right wing Drake Batherson became the first player on the team since 2011-12 to record an 11-game point streak when he finished Tuesday's 3-2 shootout victory over Boston with two assists. He recorded a power-play assist on a Tim Stutzle goal and helped Alex DeBrincat to get a goal in an even-strength situation. The 24-year-old is now the sixth player in franchise history to reach an 11-game point streak. He has totaled seven goals and nine assists during the run, getting to 33 points for the year with 34 games played. It's been a big season for Batherson, although he's still carrying an ugly minus-23 rating around, with a large chunk of his points registered on the power play.

2 years agoOttawa Senators right wing Drake Batherson had one goal on six shots in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to Winnipeg, extending his point streak to nine games. The 24-year-old potted a power-play goal in the first period, but the team had an awful night at the office and couldn't compete with the hosts. Batherson added two hits to his line and finished the action with a minus-three rating in 17:43 of ice time. The talented winger is now minus-23 overall for the season despite registering 30 points across 32 games. He has gone minus-eight on his current scoring streak. Batherson has greatly benefited from the fourth-best power play in the league, with the Senators finishing off 28.5 percent for their chances with the man advantage.
