Senators' Drake Batherson: Two assists snap five-game drought
Rotowire
Batherson had two assists in a 4-1 win over Dallas on Thursday.

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.

Overall, the 25-year-old winger is up to 17 goals, five shy of his career high, and 38 points through 46 games this season.

That's put him on pace for career-best numbers, and through 38 contests Batherson has racked up 15 goals and 33 points.

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.
