Game Day – Senators Travel to Washington

After a so-so home stand, the Senators now head south seeking to pass an ambitious resolution on foreign ice.

Meanwhile, Washington seeks a decisive vote of confidence as the Senators arrive ready to challenge the chamber. It’s a Saturday night and in the heart of D.C., the ice becomes the new floor for the Senators’ latest session.

I….have no idea what I’m talking about.

The Ottawa Senators visit the Washington Capitals on Saturday night.

After ending the five-game homestand on a high note against the Flyers, the Senators now enter a weird part of the schedule that includes a bit of back and forth between home and away games with some longer breaks mixed in there along the way.

Oct 25th – @ Washington
Oct 27th – Boston
Oct 28th – @ Chicago
Oct 30th – Calgary
Nov 1st – @ Montreal
Nov 6th – @ Boston
Nov 8th – @ Philadelphia

Obviously this hasn’t been a blistering start to the season for the Senators but thanks to picking up three of a possible four points to close out the homestand, they’re at least keeping pace in what is a generally chaotic Atlantic Division. It’s obviously way too early to be looking at the standings but you’re not the boss of me and so I’ll do it anyway.



Game day skate will go a little later today but after a solid showing against the Flyers, wouldn’t be surprised to see Travis Green roll out the same lineup. We’ll confirm later today.

Cousins-Stutzle-Batherson
Greig-Cozens-Perron
Amadio-Pinto-Giroux
Lyksell-Eller-Zetterlund

Sanderson-Zub
Chabot-Jensen
Kleven-Matinpalo

Linus Ullmark is the likely starter.

We’re gonna get this thing started at 7:08 PM. The game is available on Sportsnet 360 tonight because rumour has it there is something else being broadcast on all the other Sportsnet channels. TSN1200 if audio hockey is your thing. If it’s illegal internet streams you seek, cast your eyes downward closer to game time.

Game Day – Senators Return Home to Host Bruins

It’s safe to say that we’re still kind of getting to know this year’s version of the Ottawa Senators.

It’s been a bit of an up and down start and obviously the injury to the Captain took the wind out of their sails a bit but there are signs that this team might still be ready to build on last season. The win over the Washington Capitals on Saturday night was their best performance of the year and honestly, no other game comes close. That was complete domination from start to finish.

The Senators look to build on that when they host the Boston Bruins on Monday night in Ottawa.

We’ll confirm the lineup later this morning. Let’s assume same thing for now.

Cousins-Stutzle-Batherson
Greig-Cozens-Perron
Amadio-Pinto-Giroux
MacDermid/Lyksell-Eller-Zetterlund

Sanderson-Zub
Chabot-Jensen
Kleven-Matinpalo

Leevi Merilainen starts. Hunter Sheppard has been recalled and will dress as the back up with Ullmark getting a full night off.

Puck drop is scheduled for 7:08 PM at The Tire. Thanks to the developing Alliance between Jeff Bezos and the NHL, the game is available on Amazon Prime Video. Not clear what this means for the facilitation of pirate-led illegal internet streams but yer best bet is to keep an eye on the comment section closer to game time.

Really mailed it in today.

Wondering how these teams match up and also longing for a collection of expertly crafted columns and rows outlining basic statistical information? Well then have I got a treat for you. The award-winning HEAD2HEAD table is back and more better than ever. Or at least just as good. Anyway, it’s back.

Game Day – Senators Travel to Chicago to Visit Hawks

Like a bunch of pumpkins on a hill, the Ottawa Senators are on a roll!

Ya know what, in hindsight, maybe it wasn’t the best idea to stay up until 3 AM watching baseball last night. Things are a little fuzzy today. Anyway, I guess what I’m trying to say is, let’s keep this thing goin’, shall we?

On the heels of a third straight win, the Senators are right back at it tonight as the pay a visit to Connor Bedard and whoever (whomever?) else plays for the Chicago Blackhawks.

Expecting a couple changes on the back-to-back but we’ll confirm a little closer to game time. Certainly seems like a good opportunity to get Jordan Spence back in there.

Cousins-Stützle-Batherson
Greig-Cozens-Perron
Amadio-Pinto-Giroux

Puck drop is at 8:45 PM for reasons unknown to me. Consider me equal parts scared and intrigued. The game is on TSN5 and on the radio at TSN1200 and en francais sur le 94.7. Streams shall be made available in the comment section below.

A closer look at this evening’s match-up via the finest collection of columns and rows you’ll find anywhere on the information super-highway. It’s the HEAD2HEAD table.

Game Day – Senators vs. Toilet Seats on Saturday Night

As the calendar rolls over to November, the Ottawa Senators are doin’ just fine, thank you.

Sure, October had its ups and downs but if you look at the month as a whole, the Sens have to be pretty okay with where they stand. The loss of Brady Tkachuk had the potential to derail this season early but Ottawa has managed to stay afloat so far. A 6-5-1 record in October has them sitting third place in the Atlantic Division and very much in the thick of things in the East.

They face one of the teams they’re chasing on Saturday night in Montreal.

It probably goes without saying but this is a big one for the Senators. Not just because they’re playing against the Atlantic Division leader and not just because a loss to Montreal has a way of boiling the blood a little bit but also because after tonight, the Senators have a full five days off. They don’t play again until Thursday night. And I am not sure any of us are ready for that kind of sustained fan ansgt.

So uh, win please.

We’ll confirm the lineup after the morning skate but safe to say it will look something like this.

Cousins-Stützle-Batherson
Greig-Cozens-Perron
Amadio-Pinto-Giroux
MacDermid-Eller-Zetterlund

Sanderson-Zub
Chabot-Jensen
Kleven-Spence

Linus Ullmark is expected to get the start in goal.

Puck drops at 7:08 PM. Around 8 PM is when you’re gonna wanna get that second screen fired up. CityTV and Sportsnet East have the broadcast. TSN1200 and 94.7 have the radio feed. And streams should show up in the comment section a little closer to game time.

Here’s a closer look at tonight’s match-up via the WILDLY popular HEAD2HEAD table featuring the WILDLY popular toilet seat picture.

Batherson Named Second Star of the Week

Under normal circumstances, something like this probably wouldn’t call for a stand-alone article a few hours after the actual announcement but I just we couldn’t let that damn Game Day post linger there for the rest of the week.

Desperate times.

With a few days off between games, a member of YOUR Ottawa Senators is receiving some recognition for a job well done. Earlier today (much earlier), the NHL announced that Drake Batherson is the league’s Second Star of the Week. Batherson finished with 3 goals and 5 assists during the team’s four games last week.

Lukas Dostal, Drake Batherson and Philipp Kurashev have been named the NHL’s “Three Stars” for the week ending Nov. 2.

Despite the solid showing, Batherson still found himself answering some tough questions about his turnover in overtime on Saturday night.

Game Day – Senators Visit Flyers on Saturday Afternoon

They are not to be taken lightly.

They have at least a point in six of their last seven contests and they have just one regulation loss in the last 17 days. In terms of generating offence, including goals for and power play success rate and shots on goal, they are among the league’s best. Despite injuries to key players, they’re right in the thick of things in the Eastern Conference. Yes indeed, the Ottawa Senators are red hot.

…

The Senators visit the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday afternoon.

No game day skate so we’ll have to wait until closer to game time to find out if there are any changes planned. Expecting both Jordan Spence and Olle Lycksell to be in there though.

Cousins-Stützle-Batherson
Greig-Cozens-Perron
Amadio-Pinto-Giroux
Lycksell/MacDermid-Eller-Zetterlund

Two games this weekend so expect Ullmark and Merilainen to each get a game. The order is unclear.

Puck drops at 1:08 PM in Philadelphia. Govern yourselves accordingly. The game is on TSN5 and on the radio at TSN1200 and 94.7 FM en francais. Early-rising internet pirates are hard at work to get you some streaming options in time for this afternoon.

Wondering how these teams match up and have a thing for neatly arranged columns and rows? Well then cast your gaze downwards.

Game Day – Senators Host Mammoth on Sunday Night

Let’s do it again, shall we?

This time, against a team that definitely exists. The Senators host the Utah Mammoth (sp??) on Sunday night in Ottawa.

Tonight is the first of four straight on home ice this week. Dallas is here on Tuesday, the Bruins are in town on Thursday night and the Los Angeles Kings make a rare appearance on Saturday. It’s a crucial stretch for the Senators, especially with a seven-game road trip waiting for them on the other side.

Hayden Hodgson was recalled from Belleville earlier today. We’ll see where he fits in and whether they have any other changes in mind.

They’re in surprisingly good shape.

With Brady Tkachuk’s return now just a couple weeks away, the Ottawa Senators are hangin’ in there. Sure, there are areas to clean up in their game but overall, the Sens have navigated the heck out of this time without their Captain. Points in 10 of their last 11 hockey games and while a handful of those games ended in overtime disappointment, every point matters when April rolls around. The Senators come into tonight’s game sitting third in the Atlantic and within striking distance of the top spot. That’ll do.

The Senators look to keep it rollin’ when they host the red-hot Boston Bruins on Thursday night in Ottawa.

One big change to the lineup as the Sens will be without Thomas Chabot for this one. Sounds like there is a chance he could return on Saturday and if not then, hopefully join the team on the road trip. Nobody called up which means Travis Green will go with one of his extra right shot defenceman playing the left side. Something like this maybe?

Perron-Stützle-Batherson
Greig-Cozens-Zetterlund
Amadio-Pinto-Giroux
Cousins-Eller-Hodgson

Sanderson-Zub
Kleven-Spence
Jensen-Matinpalo

No word on a starting goalie tonight and there is a good case to be made for either guy in this one.

Puck drops at 7:08 PM. Game is available on TSN5 and on the radio at both TSN1200 and 104.7 FM. Streaming is an option. A game like this is best experienced in person though. Tickets still available if you wanna spend your Thursday in The Tire.

Wondering how these two teams match-up and have no recollection of the two games they’ve already played against each other? The HEAD2HEAD table is your only hope.
