Last season, Sanderson skated in 79 regular season games for the Senators. In that span, he scored ten goals and 28 assists for a total of 38 points. The 2023-24 season was a big one for the defenceman, as it saw him playing key minutes for the Sens, matched up against some of the best players on opposing teams.
Sanderson also made his IIHF World Championship debut in Czechia last year, where he skated for the United States. In eight games, he recorded four points, all assists.
The Whitefish, Montana native was drafted fifth overall by the Senators in the first round of the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. In 156 career regular season NHL games, Sanderson has scored fourteen goals and 56 assists for a total of 70 points.
The 22-year-old will be approaching two career milestones this season. If he skates in 44 games, Sanderson will reach 200 games played in his NHL career. As well, 30 points would see the defenceman reach his hundredth career point.
