In a tight race in the Eastern Conference, the Ottawa Senators are right in the mix and climbing back up the standings. They have won four games in a row and are five games above .500, sitting one point back of the final playoff spot with a game in hand. The team has over $3.75 million cap space to work with at this time. That isn't enough for a larger upgrade that they have reportedly been eyeing for a while though. According to Bruce Garrioch, "The Senators have shown interest in Ryan O'Reil...

Welcome to Sunday night, folks! Today is the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere (which is the best hemisphere, in my opinion). That means it’s the shortest day of the year, so we can just pretend it’s been Sunday night all day. Makes sense. Anyways, the Bruins will host the Ottawa Senators at TD Garden […]

If Arvid Söderblom wants to quite the calls for Laurent Brossoit to see some run with the Blackhawks at some point, he needs to have better games than he did today. The first goal wasn’t great. He allowed another two that were waived off, and — for a team that was playing without their two best offensive players — he needs to stop a few of the goals he allowed this afternoon.
The Blackhawks were able to tie the game three times in the second period, and they needed those goals. Söderblom ...

After the Blackhawks got shut down in Montreal, I dug into some numbers and threw out some potential lineup tweaks to help the Hawks generate more offense. A few hours later, the Blackhawks took the ice for practice in Montreal and the lines were fairly close to what I wrote.
Because this is an early afternoon puck drop, there won’t be a morning skate. The lines below are what the Blackhawks skated at practice. We’ll have to wait and see if there are any changes during warm-ups.

Conor Garland keeps getting mentioned in trade chatter, and it’s not because the Vancouver Canucks are shopping him. Teams are doing their homework because productive wingers who play hard every night are hard to find, and that's exactly what Garland brings.

The latest buzz comes from Ottawa Sun's Bruce Garrioch reporting that coach Travis Green has always thought highly of Garland, and that if Vancouver ever did open the door, Ottaw...

The Pittsburgh Penguins lost again on Thursday, dropping a 4-0 decision to the Ottawa Senators that was a concerning replay of Tuesday’s loss to the Edmonton Oilers. They fell behind early, showed little pushback, and quietly lost by multiple goals without much of a serious challenge. At least they have moved on from losing multiple […]

With injuries piling up and inconsistency dragging them down the standings, the Ottawa Senators ' front office has gone into active search mode. According to Bruce Garrioch of The Ottawa Sun , Senators general manager Steve Staios continues to comb the trade market for a top-nine forward and an additional defenseman, indicating that internal solutions alone may not be enough. Ottawa remains within striking distance of the playoff race, but the margin for error is shrinking quickly, and p...
