New Season, New Results

Let’s get this season started!

By Antonio Borrelli

After a disappointing season and a busy offseason, the Ottawa Senators front office, coaching staff, players and fans are excited to get the new season underway. 


The Senators, after making some key acquisitions, had a very underwhelming season. As in previous seasons, the issues were the same. Defence and goaltending. In the end, goals against was the biggest issue, even with the strong offensive group up front. Matthews continued his development, leading the team as the number one centre. Late call ups, Strome and Vesey, finished the season strong and have earned themselves second line duties for opening night. Veteran O’Marra continued his strong ply alongside Matthews for parts of the season. New addition Stalberg had a breakout season, winning the Rocket Richard trophy as the leagues leading goal scorer. He will play alongside Strome and Vesey to start the season in hopes of continuing their growth and development. 

To address the goals against issues, the Sens have added Larsson via trade and Ratchuk via free agency. The front office has also added a whole new third line in Letestu, Knight and Gallagher who they feel can really make an impact throughout any game. The biggest acquisition of all was acquiring one of the leagues most exciting up and coming goalies in Connor Hellebuyck. More to come on this. 

With the teams first game tonight, the excitement around this team is growing with every second that passes. With the changes made this offseason, the team has the confidence and ability to make an impact in the post season and erase the horrifying season that unfolded last year. Let’s get this season started!
