Senators' Michael Amadio: Five points in last six games
Rotowire
Amadio scored a goal and added an assist in a 5-2 win over Philadelphia on Tuesday.
Amadio's shot along the ice from the right side late in the second period stood as the winner. He has five points, including three goals, and 11 shots in his last six games. That's solid production for a winger with just 19 points (eight goals, 11 assists) in 54 games this season. Amadio continues to pace toward his fourth straight 10-plus goal season, but his overall fantasy value is low. He might be a short-term fill-in for a game or two right now while he's hot, but nothing more.

He sealed Ottawa's victory with an empty-netter. Amadio has four goals on 12 shots in his last eight games. He has chipped in six goals and nine assists across 49 appearances this campaign. Amadio is coming off back-to-back 27-point regular seasons in Vegas but will be hard-pressed to deliver that mark this time. Amadio has stepped up his hit game, establishing a new career high with 70.

Senators' Michael Amadio: Third goal in four games
Rotowire
Amadio scored the Senators' only goal in a 5-1 loss to the Lightning on Thursday.
It's Amadio's third goal in his last four games. It's a real outburst for the winger, who has just five goals and 14 points in 45 games this season. And his secondary stats (56 hits and 27 blocks) are unspectacular. Amadio is a journeyman who has played for five NHL teams over the last eight seasons. His value is on the ice, not in the fantasy arena.

Senators' Michael Amadio: Set to return Thursday
Rotowire
Amadio (concussion) will return to action for Thursday's home game against the Capitals, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.

Senators' Michael Amadio: Designated for IR
Rotowire
Amadio (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, per the NHL media site.
Amadio doesn't have an official recovery timeline from the team other than it would be a while, so his placement on IR shouldn't come as a surprise. The move will allow the Senators to activate Artem Zub, who is returning against Dallas on Thursday following a long-term foot injury.

Rotowire
Amadio notched an assist in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Ducks.
Amadio snapped an eight-game point drought with the helper on Nick Cousins' third-period tally. The 28-year-old Amadio opened the season in a slump of equal length, so he hasn't been the most reliable depth scorer in a bottom-six role.

Senators' Michael Amadio: Lights lamp in win
Rotowire
Amadio scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Maple Leafs.
This was Amadio's second straight game with a goal. He's earned all four of his points this season over the last seven contests. The 28-year-old remains in a third-line role, and he's seeing time on the second power-play unit, though he has yet to earn a point with the man advantage. Amadio has added 21 shots on net, 17 hits and 10 PIM through 15 appearances. If Amadio can sustain a better scoring pace, he could help fantasy managers in deeper formats.
