It's been a couple of years now that people around the sport have questioned how long Brady Tkachuk will remain in Ottawa with the Senators . Rumors hit a fever pitch again after the Olympics, when the Team USA Gold Medal winner returned to play games in Canada and was met with boos and negative reactions around the country north of the border. The Senators' captain vehemently denied any ill-feelings and professed his love for the team. But according to insider Pierre LeBrun in The Athle...
Warren Foegele had the GWG in his Sens debut
It had been a little while since the Oilers faced a true Stanley Cup contender. After returning from the Olympic break, Edmonton played the Ducks, Kings, Sharks, and Senators. Against that group of playoff hopefuls and bubble teams, the Oilers split the four games, scoring 22 goals while allowing 16. The Eastern Conference-leading Hurricanes rolled…

The Los Angeles Kings are trading Warren Foegele to the Ottawa Senators, per @DarrenDreger . pic.twitter.com/DHoUg4sPuz — PuckEmpire (@puckempire) March 5, 2026 The Kings receive a second-round pick in return.

The Ottawa Senators have been in the market to land a top-four right-shot defenseman. But the market is shrinking. A few have gone off the board (or potentially are off the board), including MacKenzie Weegar, who was at the top of the Senators' list. Colton Parayko is still weighing whether to waive his no-move clause for a trade to the Buffalo Sabres , while Connor Murphy & Tyler Myers have also been dealt. According to Bruce Garrioch in the Ottawa Citizen , " League sources say (...
The emotions are flowing in Oil Country. After a comeback victory over the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday, which still left an uncertain taste in fans’ mouths, Stan Bowman continued to be active on the trade front. Last night, he added Jason Dickinson and Colton Dach from the Chicago Blackhawks. It was his second trade of…
Updates on yonder young'ins!
After a laundry list of mistakes led to a disappointing loss at the hands of the Anaheim Ducks, the Oilers were back on home ice to square off against the Ottawa Senators for the series finale. But while the game venue changed, Edmonton’s puck management woes did not. We saw costly mistakes, grade-A chances, and,…
The cardiac Edmonton Oilers have found a way to win once again. On Tuesday evening, the Oilers hosted the Ottawa Senators for their first home game since the start of February, defeating the team from the Nation’s capital by a score of 5-4 in overtime, the second time they’ve beaten the Senators in overtime this…
It’s Tuesday afternoon, and there’s a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio set, which means the boys were back in the studio to recap the week that was. On today’s episode, the guys discussed the Connor Murphy trade with Chicago, the Oilers’ goal troubles, previewed Tuesday’s matchup against the Senators, and much more. We kicked off…
The New Jersey Devils are expected to trade defenceman Dougie Hamilton before Friday's trade deadline and while the Carolina Hurricanes, Ottawa Senators and Toronto Maple Leafs have been heavily linked the past few weeks, it turns out there's a new team that could surprise, and come out on top. Keep an eye on the Pittsburgh Penguins. Kyle Dubas long coveted Hamilton while he was running the Maple Leafs, and the idea to buy low on Hamilton at the moment is intriguing Dubas a lot. The Penguins c...
The Edmonton Oilers wrapped up their California road trip with one win and two losses. They’re back home now for a brief stop before hitting the road again following Friday’s trade deadline. First up are the Ottawa Senators, a team trying to claw its way back into the Eastern Conference playoff race. Ottawa Senators at…
The Toronto Maple Leafs are a mess and their captain Auston Matthews isn't shying away from it. Matthews spoke to reporters after the team's loss to the rival Ottawa Senators Saturday night, and called out his team for their pride in their play. I thought we started better. We just kind of lost it there. Just really disconnected throughout all three zones. Just bad. Just fairly embarrassing, to be honest with you. We need to have more pride in our play, no matter where we’re at, n...
After every Leafs game, we try our best to write a detailed review recapping the game’s events and providing insight into individual performances, storylines, and other notes beyond the boxscore. Tonight, there is no point in any of it. This was as unprofessional a performance as you’ll see in the NHL from the Maple Leafs. […]

There have been two Edmonton Oilers to hit games played milestones this season. For the first time in franchise history, a player played their 1,000th game with the Oilers, as Adam Henrique reached the quadruple-digit game mark on October 21st against the Ottawa Senators. On January 18th, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins became the first Oiler to play…
The Flyers ended last season with an .879 team save percentage. This was nearly 10 points below the San Jose Sharks — a team who was openly tanking — for the worst team save percentage in the NHL. It’s comfortably the worst mark since the turn of the century, though this year’s Ottawa Senators (.873) are giving it a real run. The front office then came to the logical conclusion that the roster simply can’t be evaluated correctly if they’re spending their time fishing the puck out of their own ...
Calgary Flames fans have heard plenty of deadline noise, but the MacKenzie Weegar chatter has a pretty big catch right now. Even with more teams calling lately, the Flames have reportedly not yet asked Weegar to waive his full no-trade clause.

The Farm is experiencing a Dust Bowl.
Contenders around the NHL are getting set to hit the trade market, looking to fill their team's needs down the stretch. And outside of centers, the next most sought-after position for clubs is a right-shot defenseman. They are always in demand. According to Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Citizen , the Ottawa Senators are focused on bringing in a legit right-D blueliner, but they'll have plenty of competition. He says there are half a dozen other teams that will also be battling it out for the fe...
Four goals and Spencer Martin's first shutout of the season led the Wolf Pack to victory.
The Ottawa Senators aren't looking to sell at the trade deadline, but rather buy, give themselves a chance at the playoffs as they sit six points out with 25 games to go, and build for success not only this season, but next. That won't be easy and the team will have to be looking at bringing in players with some term, but it can be done, especially if some of the UFAs are used to go the other way. Bruce Garrioch said, "The Senators have also been searching for help up front. You have to think ...
The Ottawa Senators have not had the season they had hoped and goaltending/team defense has not been up to par, but they aren't out of it just yet and could make a push. Bruce Garrioch said, "Staios wants to be a buyer. If the Senators get strong goaltending down the stretch, then there is little doubt that they can make a push. Selling off assets for draft picks doesn't make sense for this group." The 20 game injury to Brady Tkachuk didn't help the team, but they made it through and are six p...
