Senators' Drake Batherson: Two assists snap five-game drought
Rotowire
Batherson had two assists in a 4-1 win over Dallas on Thursday.
The points snapped a five-game pointless drought for Batherson. He's scuffled over the last month with only six points over his last 14 games dating back to Jan 20.

He's still on pace to match his career-best 62 points (22 goals, 40 assists) from last season, but if his slump continues, he may fall short of that mark.

Senators' Drake Batherson: Quietly marching on career pace
Rotowire
Batherson scored twice Wednesday in a 4-2 win over Toronto.
Batherson knotted the game 2-2 in the second period when he stuffed in a rebound. He scored his second of the night, which stood as the winner, early in the third when he banked a shot off Martin Jones' back from behind the goal line. Batherson's current point streak sits at three games and five points, including three goals. He has 12 shots in those three games. Batherson is on pace for a career year, including 35 goals if he can maintain his current pace. He's an excellent trade target because the Sens have only played 30 games this season. That means they have anywhere between three and six games on hand over some of their opponents. It may not seem like much, but Batherson could help give you a much-needed push later in the season.
