Rotowire
Amadio (concussion) will return to action for Thursday's home game against the Capitals, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.

He had appeared in each of the Senators' first 33 games of the season, totaling two goals, eight assists, 35 hits, 18 blocked shots and 12 PIM while averaging 14:09 of ice time.

Amadio snapped an eight-game point drought with the helper on Nick Cousins' third-period tally.

Senators' Michael Amadio: Lights lamp in win
Rotowire

This was Amadio's second straight game with a goal. He's earned all four of his points this season over the last seven contests. The 28-year-old remains in a third-line role, and he's seeing time on the second power-play unit, though he has yet to earn a point with the man advantage. Amadio has added 21 shots on net, 17 hits and 10 PIM through 15 appearances. If Amadio can sustain a better scoring pace, he could help fantasy managers in deeper formats.

Golden Knights' Michael Amadio: Enters lineup, scores goal
Rotowire
Amadio scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Stars in Game 4.
Amadio was scratched for the first three games of the playoffs, but he drew in over Anthony Mantha in this contest.
