Cory Conacher is likely to be scratched by the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday night when they host Pittsburgh in Game 4.
He posted a minus-1 rating and had no shots in 13:22 of ice time in Sunday's double-overtime victory. It is expected that Mark Stone will take his place in the lineup.

Cory Conacher recorded a pair of goals for Ottawa Thursday as they eliminated Montreal from the playoffs with a 6-1 drubbing.
Despite the fact he was a healthy scratch for Game Two, Conacher still tallied three times in the series. Erik Condra also registered a goal and two assists for the Sens in this game while Daniel Alfredsson, Zack Smith and Kyle Turris all found the back of the net as well.

Cory Conacher produced his first NHL postseason marker in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over Montreal.
He picked an excellent time to get his first point of the series. Conacher sent the game into overtime by scoring with just 22.6 seconds remaining in regulation to help the Senators erase a two-goal deficit in the third period. He was a healthy scratch in Game 2, after being used sparingly in Game 1, but in the past two contests his ice time has increased. He was also on during a crucial time in Game 4, so coach Paul MacLean appears to be getting more comfortable with the diminutive rookie.

Cory Conacher's status for Sunday's game against the Montreal Canadiens is uncertain after the winger was a healthy scratch in Friday's contest.
Conacher watched Game Two of the series from the press box as the coaching staff chose to insert the rugged Matt Kassian in his place, perhaps anticipating rough play after the injury suffered by Lars Eller in Game One. If the team is intent on generating more offense than they did in Friday's defeat Conacher will be on the ice.

Cory Conacher netted his 10th goal of the season in a 2-1 loss Sunday.
It was Conacher's first goal since he was acquired from the Tampa Bay Lightning on Wednesday. Jakob Silfverberg and Mika Zibanejad assisted on the goal.

The Ottawa Senators feel they filled a need at the NHL trade deadline when they acquired rookie forward Cory Conacher from Tampa Bay.
"His skill set is real high," said GM Bryan Murray. "He's not a big player, but he's quick, courageous, he handles the puck, he makes plays and gets points and if we need anything, we need a point-getter." Oddly enough, the first-year player will join the Senators as their leading scorer with 24 points in 35 games. Injuries to Jason Spezza and Erik Karlsson have sidetracked the team offensively, but they continue to win and currently sit sixth in the Eastern Conference standings.

The Ottawa Senators have acquired Cory Conacher and a fourth round pick from the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for Ben Bishop.
Conacher has nine goals and 24 points in 35 games this season. Getting a solid, young, top-six forward like Conacher is a big win for Ottawa in this situation. Bishop has been great, but with Craig Anderson close to returning from an ankle injury and Robin Lehner excelling this season, Bishop was expendable.

Cory Conacher netted his first goal in 13 games but Tampa Bay fell Wednesday night 4-2 to the Leafs.
The winger also had two penalty minutes in the game. Conacher's production has certainly slowed since his early-season tear, with only four points in March. Still, though, the rookie has greatly exceeded expectations with eight goals and 22 points on the year. Radko Gudas notched the other goal.

Cory Conacher leads all NHL rookies with 20 points and 13 assists after his first 23 games.
His play should place him in the mix for the Calder Trophy at the end of the year. Conacher has gone through a couple of rough patches, but he's managed to stay relatively consistent for the first half of the season.

Cory Conacher is on a five-game point streak.
Conacher now leads all rookies with 17 points in 18 games. Conacher was never drafted, but the Lightning gave him a chance in the AHL last season and he posted an incredible 80 points and 114 penalty minutes in 75 contests with the Norfolk Admirals. He also stayed strong in the minors during the lockout and it's looking like the Lightning found an ideal diamond in the rough.

Cory Conacher registered an assist in the Lightning's 6-5 overtime win over the Florida Panthers Saturday night.
The diminutive forward picked up an assist on Stamkos' goal, ending a six-game stretch without a point. The rookie started the season strong before cooling down but should still be owned in 14-team leagues.

In addition to leading all rookies in scoring with 12 points in eight games, Cory Conacher has some other impressive statistics.
He is also a plus eight and leads the NHL in shooting percentage scoring on 41.7% of his shots. Conacher is also tied for the league lead in goals scored with five. It may be a little soon, but many are calling Conacher "Martin St. Louis Jr.". That's pretty high praise.

Cory Conacher was one of three Lighting players to enjoy three-point nights in the team's 8-3 demolition of the Jets on Friday.
Conacher has had quite the start to his rookie season. He's played eight games, and he's had multi-point efforts in five of them. Friday, he had two goals and an assist to push his season totals to five goals and 12 points. Vincent Lecaviler and Steven Stamkos each finished with a goal and two helpers. Tampa Bay has 37 goals in seven games, easily the most in the NHL.

Lightning rookie Cory Conacher registered a goal and an assist in a 5-2 win over Florida Tuesday night.
Perhaps the early favorite for the Calder Trophy, Conacher has amassed a whopping nine points in six contests so far, though lining up alongside Martin St. Louis and Steve Stamkos doesn't hurt. Stamkos also found the back of the net in the victory, as did Vincent Lecavalier, Tom Pyatt and Dana Tyrell.

Cory Conacher has picked up at least one point in all three games to start his NHL career.
He opened the season with a pair of multi-point efforts and produced his second goal of the year and first game winner in Tuesday's 4-1 victory over Carolina. Conacher has five points in his first three games with the Lightning. Given his size and ability, he is already drawing comparisons to teammate Martin St. Louis. Ride him while he's hot, but don't expect him to maintain this kind of pace.

Cory Conacher potted a goal and also registered an assist in his NHL debut Saturday night.
Conacher was the AHL's MVP and Rookie of the Year after recording 39 goals, 80 points and 114 penalty minutes in 75 games last season. He's definitely worth a look in 14-team leagues if he keeps a gig in the show as a top-six forward.

Cory Conacher has cracked Tampa Bay's opening nigh roster.
"We feel he has done a lot in the American League already .and if you look at his year and half, he has continued to improve," coach Guy Boucher said. "I like his grit, I like his relentlessness and I always have, so he deserves it." During training camp, he has been skating with Vincent Lecavalier and Teddy Purcell, while also working on the second power-play unit. The reigning AHL MVP may be worth picking up late in your drafts.

"They are really giving me a good opportunity," Conacher said. "It's really been a dream to play in the NHL so it's important for me to take advantage of this and hopefully show the coaching staff that they haven't made a mistake by putting me there and I have to do the things that make me belong on that line." Coach Guy Boucher likes Conacher's speed and his willingness to push the pace. Conacher was outstanding in the AHL last year and he was playing great in the minors during the lockout as well, so the Lightning appear to be willing to give him a shot in the NHL.

Cory Conacher is heading to Tampa Bay for training camp.
The 23-year-old forward recorded 28 points in the minors during the lockout, and he is coming off an 80-point campaign last year. If Conacher makes the club, he could garner some value in deeper leagues because of the points-penalty minutes upside. He had 114 penalty minutes last year and already had 56 this season.
