Latest news and updates about the Senators
Pregame The Penguins had called up forwards Avery Hayes and Joona Koppanen during the day, but Anthony Mantha is able to play so the lineup of skaters remains the same with Stuart Skinner in net. First period Not the best of starts, Erik Karlsson is quick to the penalty box for tripping. With Karlsson unavailable […]
He'd only been back for five games, but Pittsburgh Penguins legend Sidney Crosby is back on the shelf, it appears. Crosby suffered an injury late in the first period of their game Thursday night against the Ottawa Senators. According to Dan Kingerski of Pittsburgh Hockey Now , Crosby left the Penguins bench with three minutes to go in the first, but didn't appear to be limping or laboring in any way. He will not return to the game. Forward Sidney Crosby will not return to to...

The Ottawa Senators had finally climbed into a playoff spot on the back of their four-game winning streak. But it's come at a price.

Mika Zibanejad recently hit a massive milestone, playing in his 1,000th career NHL game Monday night at Madison Square Garden against the Ottawa Senators , the only other team he's ever suited up for. Now the question turns to how much longer he'll be playing in a New York Rangers jersey. Mika Zibanejad Trade Value: What Changed This Season Here's the thing about Zibanejad's situation heading into this summer: it looks completely different than it did 12 months ago. Last offseason, the...
With both teams desperate for points in their fight for playoff positioning, tonight’s game between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Ottawa Senators should have a playoff feel when the teams hit the ice. Right now, the Penguins are holding onto third place in the Metro division while the Senators cling to the second and final wild […]
The 24-year-old has turned his season around, and the Senators find themselves back in playoff positioning largely because of it.
At some point you run out of ways to say a kid is doing something no one has ever done before. Tuesday night in New York, Matthew Schaefer played an absurd 31 minutes and 59 seconds against the Chicago Blackhawks , which is the most ice time ever logged by a teenager in NHL history. The New York Islanders lost 4-3, fell out of a playoff spot, and are now tied with the Ottawa Senators for the second wild card in the East. None of that changes what Schaefer did. The 18-ye...
The Ottawa Senators tried their darndest to land a right-shot defenseman at the trade deadline, per Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Citizen . He writes that GM Steve Staios kicked the tires on "virtually every right-shot defenseman that was on the market before the NHL's trade deadline on March 6th." Many of them didn't get moved, so come this summer, a lot of those same names could still be available, and talks will continue. Throw in a slew of other pending UFAs that weren't really on the block...
They never said it'd be easy...
Hey folks, long time, no write. We’re back to the time of year that every game feels like life or death, so given the stakes, we decided to bring back some game day coverage for the home stretch. Here’s hoping it gives the team the boost it needs. There are no moral victories with what’s on the line, but Detroit’s coming off of one of its most impressive games of the season in terms of offensive chances — missing its captain, no less — on Saturday against Boston. They weren’t able to solv...
The Ottawa Senators just got even more brutal news to their blueline. In the middle of a crucial late-season push, Ottawa lost not one but two defensemen in the same game, with both Thomas Chabot and Lassi Thomson now expected to miss time. It happened during a gritty 2-1 win over the New York Rangers , where the Senators allowed just nine shots on goal. Travis Green gave an update on both Thomas Chabot & Lassi Thomson post game: "They'll both be out for a while, that's about all I can...
Mika’s 1,000th game deserved better—but a no-show effort and nine total shots summed up another brutal night.
Mika Zibanejad’s milestone night deserved better. Instead, the Rangers delivered one of their worst offensive performances in franchise history, managing just nine shots in a lifeless loss to Ottawa.

Craig Berube addressed the media after his team’s 5-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators, which dropped the Maple Leafs’ record to 29-29-13. On the difference in the game: The first period was good. We took a dumb penalty, in my opinion, and they scored. It was an unnecessary penalty. In the second period, they took […] The post Craig Berube on Easton Cowan’s comment that the Senators’ first goal deflated the team: “I don’t understand this ‘deflated’ stuff, to be honest with you… It’s a cop out” ap...
The Senators are rested, and the Maple Leafs are tired, but can Toronto put on a competitive showing for their home crowd at the Canadian Tire Centre? (7:00 p.m. EST, Sportsnet/CBC).

After the Islanders spent 60 minutes in Ottawa trying to shoot themselves in the foot — only to finally hit the mark with 11 seconds to go — they’ve got a pretty significant back-to-back here to finish the Canada road trip in Montreal and then return home for a pivotal Sunday meeting with the surging […]
This one suuuucks. Brady Tkachuk’s goal with 11 seconds left was a gut punch, but the Islanders squandered two leads, going up in the second period thanks to Matthew Schaefer, and then again early in the third thanks to Brayden Schenn. But Schenn’s goal was the ONLY SHOT ON GOAL FOR THE ISLANDERS IN THE […]
Tkaptain Tklutch!

Time for some damage control!
