Ottawa Senators Undefeated in Sweden

The Ottawa Senators had themselves a very successful trip to Stockholm, Sweden, winning both of their 2023 NHL Global Series games this past week against the Detroit Red Wings and Minnesota Wild, 5-4 (overtime) and 2-1 (shootout), respectively.

Ottawa Senators October Recap

Thank goodness it’s November because the Ottawa Senators were a little too festive in making sure October was as scary as possible.

Five Positive Predictions for the 2023-24 Ottawa Senators

The beautiful thing about August is your favorite hockey team hasn’t lost yet. I suppose they haven’t won either, but it’s the time of year when anything is possible, and we can focus on how everything will absolutely go according to plan. And for the Ottawa Senators, who play in a division where seven out […]

Are the Ottawa Senators a Playoff Team?

It’s playoffs or bust for the Ottawa Senators this season. Expectations last year were perhaps too high, with the fanbase hoping to see the Sens experience the meteoric rise the New Jersey Devils saw.
