Same Old Senators

The Ottawa Senators were supposed to be a team that would contend for a Stanley Cup playoff spot this year. With a new starting goaltender, a solid offense, and a decent defensive corps, the Senators had a lot to look forward to going into this season.

Three Stars: Sens (6) vs Leafs (3)

After coming back from down 4-1 against the Tampa Bay Lightning Monday night to win 6-5 in overtime, the Leafs were set to host the Sens last night.

Going into today’s game, the Ducks and the Senators were tied for last place in the NHL with 13 points. Penalties, poor execution, and bad coaching provided the perfect recipe needed […]

Canadiens interested in acquiring Colin White from Senators

The Montreal Canadiens are willing to pursue Ottawa Senators centre Colin White at all costs, and even more so if the Senators were to buy him out of his contract. “Prior to the deadline, there were some conversations between the Senators and Canadiens on Colin White,” wrote NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman in his 32 Thoughts […]
