2025 Fantasy Outlook
Sabourin is a big, physical forward, but his gritty play hasn’t been enough to land him a regular fourth-line role at the NHL level. The 33-year-old has two goals, eight points and 58 PIM across 47 career regular-season appearances in the top league. Meanwhile, he’s spent huge chunks of time in the AHL sin bin, recording 480 PIM across 178 regular-season outings over the past three years. That suggests he’d be a good source of penalty minutes if he did end up with a fourth-line role in the NHL, but you shouldn’t count on that happening. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Lightning in July of 2025.
Sent back to minors
Sabourin (suspension) was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Friday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Sabourin will return to the minors a day after being recalled by the Lightning, although he did serve the third game of his four-game suspension during Thursday's matchup against Chicago. He'll still be eligible to play for Syracuse, but he could rejoin the NHL club at some point soon to officially complete his suspension.

2020 Fantasy Outlook
Sabourin appeared in 35 games with the Senators last year, recording six points, 74 hits and 33 PIM. Now signed to a much deeper Maple Leafs organization on a minor-league contract, it's very unlikely the 28-year-old winger will see much, if any, time with the parent club in 2020-21. Sabourin can be a big-bodied, fourth-liner in the NHL when given the chance, but it's not likely to come in 2020-21 with Wayne Simmonds set to serve the same purpose in Toronto. Look for Sabourin to spend nearly all of next season with AHL Toronto.

Slated to be scratched
Sabourin is expected to be scratched Sunday against Minnesota, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
ANALYSIS
Sabourin was called up from AHL Belleville on Sunday in case Austin Watson was suspended. However, Watson was fined for interference on Detroit's Dylan Larkin on Sunday, so Watson will stay in the lineup and Sabourin will sit.
