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...
New Jersey Devils defenseman Simon Nemec was one of the most notable trade candidates leading up to the 2026 NHL trade deadline. The Devils ended up holding onto him, but he will certainly be a player to keep an eye on this summer. Due to this, let's take a look at three teams that could look to acquire Nemec if the Devils shop him this offseason. Ottawa Senators The Senators undoubtedly need to improve the right side of their blueline this offseason. Because of this, it would not ...
Is Brady Tkachuk leaving the Ottawa Senators? There's growing speculation of late that things are going from bad to worse in the Senators dressing room, and the chances of Tkachuk asking out is increasing by the day. There's been several rumors throughout the last couple of summers that a change of scenery could be requested by the Sens' captain, and right now, with all the drama going on within the team, it feels like the potential of this happening is closer than ever. Tkachuk's dad Keith wa...
With another crucial game Thursday against Detroit, the Philadelphia Flyers find themselves on the outside looking in, but nearing the doorstep. A victory against the Red Wings and that pushes them to 88 points. Should they have any semblance of good fortune they had Tuesday night concerning the other four teams in the hunt (Islanders, Columbus, Ottawa, and Detroit) losing, it could put them into a playoff spot.
That’s the smaller picture. Others might see this upcoming three-in-four as t...
The Florida Panthers exploded for five first period goals and cruised to 6-3 victory over the Ottawa Senators at Amerant Bank Arena.
Florida opened the scroring just eight seconds in, which is a new franchise record. After Tomas Nosek won to opening draw back to Seth Jones, the defenseman sent the puck languidly into the Ottawa zone off a Senator. A whiff by Linus Ullmark allowed the puck to drift into the slot, where a lucky Noah Gregor fired it off Ullmark’s arm and into the back of the...
If you've got a short term memory, this was the game for you!
Last chance to win in Florida this season
Goaltender Nico Daws became the Utica Comets all-time wins leader this past week. It took a 2-1 shootout victory, but Nico Daws defeated Laval last week to sneak past Thatcher Demko as the Utica Comets all-time leader in wins with 56. The Comets, who at least temporarily have slipped past the Belleville Senators into sixth […]
The Florida Panthers (35-35-3) will try to climb back above NHL .500 when they host the Ottawa Senators (38-25-10) tonight at Amerant Bank Arena in suburban Sunrise
Florida played a pretty good road game, but could only get one fluky goal past Igor Shesterkin in Sunday’s 3-1 loss to the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden. Jesper Boqvist and rookie Mike Benning assisted on the goal, which came off the stick of struggling Mackie Samoskevich with 41 seconds remaining in the tilt. Serg...
Heading into their Saturday afternoon contest with the Ottawa Senators, the Tampa Bay Lightning knew they needed to start fast and break the string of early multi-goal deficits they’ve faced over the last few games. Just because they knew what they needed to do didn’t mean they actually did it. On the very first shift of the game they conceded a goal. Four minutes later they gave up another one.
As they have every other time, they came back to tie the game up. Unlike against Seattle and C...
