In the years after coming up a goal short of a Stanley Cup Finals birth in 2016, things have been rough for the Ottawa Senators. After this latest season, however, they won more games (33) than in a season after 2016-17.
Welcome to another NHL Season Preview! In this edition, we take a look at the Ottawa Senators. Last season was yet another rough year for the Ottawa Senators as they only had 51 points finishing with a 23-28-5 record. However, in the weak North Division, they finished eight points out of a playoff spot. But nonetheless, they did not make it to the playoffs once again.
You could have stuck the Ottawa Senators in any division and they still would have been awful. But, put them in the league’s weakest, and they could have some fun with it. Attempting to play spoiler with their Canadian rivals, Ottawa had another progress year in their rebuild.
This evenings’ slate of five games has been trimmed down to three. The ever-improving Chicago Blackhawks travel to Vegas to play the struggling Golden Knights. The Senators visit the New Jersey Devils in a game that has more appeal than it would a few weeks ago as both teams are making small strides to improve. Finally, in what could be the game of the night, the Washington Capitals will square off with divisional rivals, the Philadelphia Flyers. Lace-em’up ladies and gents, time to make some Ice Picks!
From a Round 3 appearance in 2017 to missing the playoffs two years in a row with less than 70 points (2017-2018 they had 67, 2018-2019 they had 64), the Ottawa Senators have fallen off quickly. A fire sale of players started midway through the season, and a full-on renovation is in play. Let’s take a gander at what has been done, and how they will fare this year, with hopes of avoiding another 60-point season in the Canadian Capital.
