Sanderson (upper body) will travel with the Senators for their upcoming two-game road trip, Julian McKenzie of The Athletic reports.

Sat, Mar 21, 2026 at 11:20 AM

Per Claire Hanna of TSN, Sanderson (upper body) has returned to the ice and could be back in action in 7-10 days, according to head coach Travis Green.

Scouting Report

The son of former NHL speedster and scoring winger Geoff Sanderson, he comes complete with tremendous pedigree and family genes. While not as top-end fast as his father, he is a very smooth skater with excellent mobility from the back end. He also features great hockey IQ and a low-maintenance approach to the game. Can be used in all game situations and is a true minute muncher. While he does have some ability to produce points, he is not a game-breaking offensive talent from the back end. Still a bit raw, he has a very projectable frame but will need to add more bulk and get stronger physically for the NHL.

Long Range Potential: Quality, big-minute defenseman with upside.
