Latest news and updates about the Senators
On April 6th in 2010, Florida Panthers defenseman Keith Ballard swatted an airborn puck past goaltender Tomas Vokoun and into his own net giving the visiting Ottawa Senators a 3-1 lead midway through the second period.Ballard's own goal was credited to the Senators forward Chris Neil. Ottawa beat Florida that night by a score of 5-2. That's today in NHL history.
As the 2025-26 NHL regular season and the Eastern Conference playoff push winds down, there are teams that have seized the moment and strung wins together like the Penguins, Flyers and Senators, and there are teams that have spiraled out of previously promising positions to leave an empty feeling like the Red Wings and Islanders. […]
The Matchup The New Jersey Devils (41-36-3) versus the Ottawa Senators (43-27-10) The Time: 7:00 PM EDT The Broadcast: TV — MSGSN2; Radio — Devils Hockey Network The End Happy final Sunday of the 2025-26 New Jersey Devils season. This is our final home game until September, and the Devils are giving us a real […]
The Islanders’ seasonlong power play failings came back to bit them in a big way as they suffered a near-fatal 3-0 loss to the Ottawa Senators at home Saturday afternoon. It was a terrible time to suffer just their second shutout of the season, but it was well deserved with a fumbling power play (0-for-5, […]
We politely request postseason hockey clap, clap, clap-clap-clap
The Islanders drop the puck for a dangerous 1 p.m. Saturday clash with the Ottawa Senators and we can only hope they don’t drop the ball. If they don’t win, their slim playoff chances become even starker and tomorrow’s meeting with the Habs could be bleak. If they do win, then they give themselves one […]
Fingers crossed for a clinched playoff berth tomorrow!
The Florida Panthers losing streak hit four after they were beaten by a 5-1 count by the Ottawa Senators at Canadian Tire Centre. Fabian Zetterlund scored in the first period, adding on after Drake Batherson’s game-opening power-play goal, and again in the third to lead the offensive charge for Ottawa. Artem Zub and former Panther Claude Giroux also tallied and Jake Sanderson had a pair of helpers for the Senators, who strengthened its hold on second wild card in the Eastern Conferen...
Four regular season games left, baby!
The final four-game homestretch begins tonight for the chief combatants in the Eastern Conference lower-seeds playoff race. With 78 games down, the Islanders (89 pts.) host the Leafs, the Blue Jackets (90 pts.) visit the Sabres, the Senators (92 pts.) host the Panthers, and the Flyers (92 pts.) are in Detroit (89 pts.). Technically, the […]
The Florida Panthers (37-37-4) will try to end a three-game losing streak and complete the season-series sweep when they pay a final visit to the Ottawa Senators (41-27-10) tonight at Canadian Tire Centre in suburban Kanata. Depleted Florida gave a spirited effort in Montreal on Tuesday, but couldn’t close, dropping a 4-3 decision to the Canadiens in a hard-fought game that went to a shootout. Carter Verhaeghe, Cole Reinhardt and Eetu Luostarinen scored even-strength goals for the Panther...
Tuesday night’s Eastern Conference results were not great for the Islanders as the Ottawa Senators beat the Atlantic-leading Tampa Bay Lightning (with a five-goal third period!) in regulation and the Red Wings and Blue Jackets had a three-point game, with Detroit falling via shootout. But at least we know where everyone stands with four games […]
Only two weeks left in the BSens' season.
It was a struggle for much of the night for the Tampa Bay Lightning. They couldn’t string passes together for much of the night, turned the puck over, and skated in just poured asphalt for much of the night. Meanwhile, the Ottawa Senators played like a team desperate for points as their speed gave the Lightning fits all night long. However, midway through the third period the Bolts were down just a goal. Two quick power play goals from the Ottawa Senators turned a 3-2 game into a 5-2 one befor...
Ottawa strikes back to capture the season series.
It was only a week and a half ago that the Ottawa Senators got devastating news for their playoff push: Defenseman Thomas Chabot was expected to be out six-to-eight weeks with a broken arm. But in a stunning update on Tuesday, Chabot was there on the ice at practice with the Sens. Thomas Chabot is at practice for the first time since breaking his forearm. He’s wearing a yellow non-contact jersey. pic.twitter.com/mobISDfDh2 — Alex Adams (@alexadamsBTP_) April 7, 2026 Sure, he was we...

The Minnesota Wild picked a good time to find another gear: With back-to-back wins over the Vancouver Canucks and Ottawa Senators, Minnesota strengthened its playoff position while showing the kind of balance, depth, and composure that can carry over into the postseason. They won each game different...
On the game schedule, the Islanders are idle for several days, but the events around them are anything but. On Sunday, the long-looming games in hand came to roost as the Senators beat the Hurricanes and the Flyers beat the Bruins, both climbing above the Isles to push them out of a playoff spot — […]
On March 6, the Flyers found themselves six points out of a wildcard spot, and eight points back of the Islanders with two games in hand. Detroit were 10 points ahead of them. With just 67 points, Philadelphia had to overtake Washington, Columbus, and Ottawa just to get to the second wildcard position. They were a meddling 4-4-2 over their previous 10 games. And had Florida, Toronto, and New Jersey just two to three points back. At the time, many hoped the Flyers would end up sinking further, ...
When the pregame hype reel was released on social media for Sunday’s game against Ottawa, the sight of Nicolas Deslauriers walking in and his jersey being hung ended up being a signal that Carolina was prepared to have at least one player sit out. It turns out two players didn’t make the trip to Ottawa—Jordan […]
There’s no rest for the weary Hurricanes as they have to take a quick trip North of the Border for the last time in the regular season to face off against an Ottawa team that’s—stop me if you heard this one before—fighting for its spot in the playoffs. In the last two weeks—starting with the […]
On to tomorrow.
Another must win....
One down. With a fanbase collectively pleading for signs of a pulse, the Red Wings mostly delivered in Thursday’s victory over the Flyers. It wasn’t a perfect effort, but they started on time, they played physical, they put the game away late. We’ll take it, gladly. The reward? Even higher stakes. Detroit is now tied for the second Wild Card position, with Ottawa holding the tiebreaker by virtue of more regulation wins. The Senators’ win on Thursday was about the only blemish in...
