2025 Fantasy Outlook
Sanderson took a major step into becoming one of the NHL's premier defensemen, with a career-high 11 goals and 46 assists in 80 regular-season games. He was a dominant force on the power play, where he notched over half of his production (five goals, 25 assists), and he was extremely clutch, scoring four of his 11 goals as game-winners. That being said, in order to become a true superstar, Sanderson needs to take a step forward at five-on-five, where his play dropped off with the role of the Senators' No.1 defenseman. Regardless, with the production that the fifth overall pick in 2020 can put up on the power play and with so much room to grow at just 22 years old, the ceiling seems almost limitless for him as the Senators look to build on last year's playoff run.

Overall
Signed an eight-year, $64.4 million contract with the Senators in September of 2023.
Plates two helpers in win
Sanderson recorded two assists, placed two shots on net and recorded three blocked shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over New Jersey.
ANALYSIS
Sanderson was heavily involved in the third period, as he recorded a power-play assist just 37 seconds into the period before later assisting Shane Pinto's empty-net goal. The pair of helpers bring Sanderson up to 34 assists and 44 points, to go with 114 shots on net and 107 blocked shots across 54 games this season. The 23-year-old blueliner is currently tied for seventh in points among NHL defensemen and hasn't shown any signs of slowing down, with 11 points in his last nine games. Sanderson is on track to shatter his career best of 57 points, which he compiled across 80 regular-season games a year ago, making him a high-level fantasy option in all league formats.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
Sanderson had a better offensive performance in his sophomore season in 2023-24, netting 10 goals and earning 38 points in 79 games. He also improved defensively and formed a solid shutdown pairing with Artem Zub. The 22-year-old Sanderson has tremendous upside as a two-way defender. He already claimed a spot on the top power-play unit last campaign, and his responsibilities could increase further in 2024-25 after the Senators traded Jakob Chychrun to Washington during the offseason. Sanderson should surpass the 40-point mark while topping 150 shots on goal and 150 blocked shots.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Exits practice early
Sanderson left Wednesday's practice session early with an apparent injury, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.
ANALYSIS
It's possible that Sanderson will still return to practice, but it's something worth monitoring for fantasy managers. In 13 outings this season, the 23-year-old blueliner has notched three goals and eight helpers, including six power-play points. If Sanderson were to miss any time, Thomas Chabot could see an uptick in minutes, including moving to the No. 1 power-play unit.
