2025 Fantasy Outlook
Matinpalo earned himself a two-year extension after appearing in 41 regular-season games and all six Senators playoff games last campaign. The 26-year-old (27 on Oct. 5) had only four points, 25 hits and 29 blocked shots in those regular-season outings while logging 12:37 of ice time per game. Combine his lack of counting stats with the fact that he might not be part of the Opening Night lineup, and he lacks much meaningful fantasy value in any context. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year, $1.75 million contract extension with the Senators in May of 2025.
Secures first assist of 2025-26
Matinpalo notched an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 7-3 loss to the Blackhawks.
ANALYSIS
Matinpalo has played in five straight games after spending four contests from Oct 13-18 in the press box. For now, it looks like he has the advantage over Jordan Spence for the last spot on the blue line. Matinpalo has one assist, five shots on net, 10 hits, seven blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over seven appearances. Spence offers more scoring upside and will likely draw in once head coach Travis Green wants to get more offense from the blue line. Still, Matinpalo seems likely to get his fair share of games.
