Latest news

  • Matinpalo notched an assist, two hits, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Panthers.

    This was Matinpalo's first point in eight games this season. He also has six hits and nine blocked shots. The 28-year-old blueliner saw a larger role earlier in the campaign, but he'll likely remain in the bottom four as the Senators' defense continues to get healthier. Matinpalo can bring some physicality, but his offensive contribution will likely be limited in a depth role.

  • Matinpalo (upper body) will play against Philadelphia on Saturday, Jackson Starr of the Senators' official site reports.

    Following a two-game absence, Matinpalo will replace Cameron Crotty in Saturday's lineup against the Flyers. The 28-year-old Matinpalo hasn't earned a point in six appearances this season, but he has contributed four shots on goal, eight blocked shots and four hits.

  • Matinpalo (upper body) won't play against St. Louis on Tuesday, and there is no timeline for his return, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.

    Matinpalo suffered an upper-body injury in Monday's 4-1 win over New Jersey. He hasn't earned a point in six appearances this season, but he has posted four shots on net, eight blocked shots and four hits. Jorian Donovan will replace Matinpalo in Tuesday's lineup against the Blues.

  • Matinpalo (upper body) will not return to Monday's road contest against New Jersey.

    The 28-year-old blueliner left Monday's clash after taking a big hit from Anthony Mantha in the first period, which resulted in a five-minute major for boarding. Matinpalo has a plus-2 rating, four PIM, four shots on goal, four hits and eight blocked shots across five appearances to begin the 2026-27 campaign. He'll likely undergo further testing before information regarding the extent of his injury is revealed. If he can't go in Tuesday's game, Jorian Donovan will likely step into the lineup.

    RotoWire via ESPN · Oct 13

  • Matinpalo logged an assist in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Islanders.

    Matinpalo has a career-high five points in 36 outings this season. The defenseman was a regular scratch before the Olympics and was injured while representing Finland at the tournament, but he's taken on a steady role recently since the Senators are down Jake Sanderson (upper body) and Nick Jensen (knee). Matinpalo won't score his way into fantasy relevance, though he's added 31 hits and 38 blocked shots this season to provide a bit of physicality.

    RotoWire via ESPN · Mar 20

  • Matinpalo (undisclosed) is expected to play against Vancouver on Monday.

    Matinpalo sat out five straight games after playing for Finland at the 2026 Winter Olympics. He has earned four assists, 19 shots on goal, 33 blocked shots and 27 hits in 30 appearances this season. Matinpalo will replace Jake Sanderson (upper body) in Monday's lineup against the Canucks.
