Norris will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery.

Norris suffered a shoulder injury on October 22nd and missed three months before returning to the lineup on January 18th. Norris played three games, scoring one goal on seven shots but will undergo shoulder surgery in the near future and will not play again this season. Ridly Greig was recalled from Belleville (AHL) to take Norris' spot on the roster and fill the void at centre.

Norris (shoulder) will return to the Senators lineup on Wednesday.

Norris has been sidelined since October 22nd but will be back on the second line with Alex DeBrincat and Claude Giroux on Wednesday. Giroux is expected to take the face-offs, but Norris provides a massive offensive boost to the Senators, who averaged 4.2 goals per game in the five games Norris played earlier in the season.

Norris (shoulder) will be out "long-term."

The Senators do not have a timeline for Norris' return but it's going to be long-term and they're not certain that he'll play again this season. Norris could require surgery but that decision won't be made for a few days. Derick Brassard filled in for Norris on Monday, but Shane Pinto could end up being the long-term solution with Alex DeBrincat and Claude Giroux.

Norris is expected to miss "at least a couple of weeks" with a shoulder injury.

Norris left Saturday's game vs. the Coyotes with a shoulder injury and is expected to be sidelined for at least a few weeks. The Senators are still waiting on his MRI results, so they don't have a definitive timeline, but he's expected to be out for multiple weeks at the very least.

Norris (shoulder) is not expected to play on Monday.

Norris left Saturday's game with a shoulder injury and did not return. The Senators have yet to provide an update on Norris' status because they need to wait for the swelling to subside before further evaluation. Because of that, it's highly unlikely that Norris will be available for Monday's game vs. the Stars. Expect Shane Pinto to play an expanded role in Norris' absence, and Derick Brassard could make his season debut in the bottom-6.

The Senators have re-signed Josh Norris to an eight-year, $63.6 million contract.

Norris was an RFA and signed an eight-year deal that carries a $7.95M AAV cap-hit and a limited no-trade clause in the final four years. Norris is coming off of a breakout campaign, leading the Senators in goals (35) and third in points (55) in just 66 games. With the additions of Alex DeBrincat and Claude Giroux this offseason, Norris will have no shortage of talented wingers to play with next season.

Norris (shoulder) will be out until after the All-Star break.

Norris suffered a shoulder injury on a hit from Andrei Svechnikov on Thursday and will miss at least the next three games. This puts the Senators in a tough spot, missing both Norris and Drake Batherson from their top line. Mark Kastelic will make his NHL debut to replace Norris.

The Senators returned Filip Chlapik to Belleville yesterday and bring Norris back to replace him on the NHL roster. The 20-year-old centre did not record a point in his NHL debut (02/22) but is second in the AHL in goals (30) and tied for third in points (58).
