Three wins in a row against Vegas, Colorado, and New Jersey. That's a pretty solid stretch right there. Beating the league-leading Avalanche at home was impressive, but honestly the whole week has been a nice turnaround after that Carolina loss.

Good to see Ullmark back in net against the Devils too. Reimer played well against Colorado but having Ullmark healthy again gives them options down the stretch when they really can't afford to drop many games.

Still a long climb to get back into playoff contention - 10 points is a lot to make up - but at least they're showing some fight. The penalty kill sitting at 30th in the league is concerning though. That's the kind of thing that'll bite them in tight games if they don't figure it out.

Curious to see if Bourgault can stick around and contribute. Getting that call-up with Halliday out is a decent opportunity for him.

Game Day – Senators Travel to Pittsburgh to Visit Penguins

With just three games left before the three-week long Olympic break, the Ottawa Senators have life.

Three straight wins over the Golden Knights, Avalanche and Devils have the Sens suddenly feeling pretty good about their game again. Still a long climb back into the Eastern Conference playoff picture but big ol’ steps in the right direction.

The Senators will look to keep it rolling as they kick off a three-game road trip with a stop in Pittsburgh to see Sidney Crosby’s Penguins.

Could be one lineup change for the Senators as Thomas Chabot is being called a game-time decision. The plan is to have seven defenceman take the warm-up and make a call at puck drop. Let’s assume same as Saturday night for now.

Batherson-Stützle-Giroux
Tkachuk-Cozens-Greig
Amadio-Pinto-Zetterlund
Halliday-Eller-Cousins

Sanderson-Zub
Chabot-Jensen
Kleven-Spence

Linus Ullmark gets a second straight start in goal.

Puck is dropping at 7:08 PM. TSN5 and TVA Sports have the broadcast. TSN1200 and 104.7 FM have the radio call. Friendly internet pirates have the internet streams.

A closer look at tonight’s match-up courtesy of something widely referred to as “the best statistical table in most of Eastern Ontario”. Damn. High praise.

Game Day – Senators Visit Hurricanes in Carolina

Do they have your attention yet?

Last night, the Ottawa Senators reeled off a fourth straight win, this time finding a way to grind out a 3-2 win over the surprisingly red-hot Pittsburgh Penguins. It looked pretty familiar actually. Give the other team next to nothing, score a big goal when you need it most and get a save or two along the way. It’s been a simple formula for the Sens the last little bit and it’s working.

They’ll look to keep it rolling as they visit one of the top teams in the National Hockey League, the Carolina Hurricanes.

No Game Day skate for the Senators today but would assume we see a similar lineup although would not be surprised to see Matinpalo draw in for Jensen on defence.

Batherson-Stützle-Giroux
Tkachuk-Cozens-Greig
Amadio-Pinto-Zetterlund
Halliday-Eller-Cousins

Sanderson-Zub
Chabot-Jensen/Matinpalo
Kleven-Spence

Nothing official yet but James Reimer is your likely starter.

Puck is droppin in a few hours so get nappin! The game is available on TSN5, RDS, TSN1200, 104.7 FM and on StreamThoseSens.org.

A closer look at this evening’s match-up via something we’ll call the HEAD2HEAD table.

Game Day – Senators Visit Flyers Ahead of Olympic Break

This feels like a big one.

Honestly, with only 26 games left in the regular season, they are all fairly large. But considering the way the last game ended and considering it will be a good three weeks until we see our Senators again, it feels like this is damn close to a must-win. In fact, yep, it’s time…Tonight is without a doubt…

THE BIGGEST GAME OF THE YEAR.

The Ottawa Senators head into the Olympic break with a Thursday night showdown against the Philadelphia Flyers.

Here is how the Senators might line up tonight. Maybe a last minute switch involving the Olympic-bound Nikolas Matinpalo? We shall see a little closer to game time.

Batherson-Stützle-Giroux
Tkachuk-Cozens-Greig
Cousins-Pinto-Amadio
Halliday-Eller-Zetterlund

Sanderson-Zub
Chabot-Jensen
Kleven-Spence

Linus Ullmark gets the start for the Senators.

Puck is dropping 7:08 PM in Philadelphia. The game is on TSN5 and RDS. It’s on the radio at TSN1200 and 104.7 FM. Steaming hot streams will be served up a little closer to game time.

Wondering how these teams match up? Yea, me too! Where’s that handsome HEAD2HEAD table everyone is always raving about?!

Senators Recall Three from Belleville

Not to be dramatic but the idea of writing, reading or even thinking about hockey today makes me physically ill.

From the moment that shot entered the net yesterday, I have been doing my very best to stay offline. It makes it easy to kind of pretend the whole thing never happened. But it has been brought to my attention that I am the sole operator of a hockey-related website and for that reason, the show must go on!

This morning, the Senators announced that they have recalled a handful of guys from Belleville of the American Hockey League.

ROSTER UPDATE: Tyler Boucher, Stephen Halliday and Carter Yakemchuk have been recalled from the @BellevilleSens.

MISE À JOUR: Tyler Boucher, Stephen Halliday et Carter Yakemchuk ont été rappelés des @BellevilleSens.https://t.co/uwKcny1Rll

— Sens Communications (@Media_Sens) February 23, 2026

All three are on the ice for practice today.

The Senators next game comes on Thursday against the Detroit Red Wings. It goes without saying I think but the Olympians on the roster best be ready for that one because with just 25 left to go, every game is massive.

Easing back into things.

Game Day – Senators Return to Host Red Wings

This is my hobby and I engage in this activity because it brings me happiness and joy.

It has been three long weeks since we last saw our Ottawa Senators. Sure some of them turned up in Italy and on Fox News from time to time but it has been 21 days since they all engaged in an organized game of ice hockey. In my opinion, that is too damn long.

There is no easing back into things for the Sens. With just 25 games left in the regular season, they need to come out swinging. They sit six points back of the Boston Bruins for that final spot in the Eastern Conference and it’s going to take a whole lot of winning to close that gap over the next couple months.

The Ottawa Senators host the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday night in Kanata.

Some lineup intrigue ahead of this one. Tim Stützle was absent at the AM skate but it does sound like Travis Green is hopeful that he can go. Stützle is officially being called a game-time decision. Because I do not care for the look of the line combinations without him, I am leaving Timmy in his usual spot on the top line. Brady Tkachuk and Jake Sanderson were on the ice this morning and both of ’em will play.

Batherson-Stützle-Giroux
Tkachuk-Cozens-Greig
Cousins-Pinto-Amadio
MacDermid-Halliday-Zetterlund

Sanderson-Zub
Chabot-Jensen
Kleven-Spence

Linus Ullmark starts.

Puck drops at 7:08 PM. The game is on TSN5, TSN1200 and 104.7 FM. Streams will appear in the comment section a little later today.

Game Day – Senators Visit Leafs on Saturday Night

The clock is ticking.

Just 24 games remaining in the regular season and the Ottawa Senators are in a hole. As of puck drop on Saturday, the Sens sit a full seven points back of the Boston Bruins for the final spot in the Eastern Conference. And with no head to head games left against the Bruins and Boston playing some of their best hockey of the season, it’s a long shot.

It has to start with a big ol’ Saturday night win over the rival Toronto Maple Leafs though. Not a “must win” by the literal definition but this feels like a game they gotta have.

Tonight kicks off a stretch of five straight on the road, including stops in Toronto, Edmonton, Calgary, Seattle and Vancouver. If the Sens are gonna drag themselves back into the playoff picture, it will have to include some strong efforts away from home.

We’ll confirm this lineup after the morning skate.

Batherson-Stützle-Giroux
Tkachuk-Cozens-Greig
Cousins-Pinto-Amadio
Halliday-Eller-Zetterlund

Sanderson-Zub
Chabot-Jensen
Kleven-Spence

Puck drop is at 7:08 PM. The game is available on CBC and Sportsnet. Streams will reveal themselves a little closer to game time.

The HEAD2HEAD table will fill in the rest of the blanks.

Game Day – Senators Continue Road Trip in Edmonton

Watching that game on Saturday night in Toronto, it’s pretty easy to see why people haven’t completely given up on the Ottawa Senators this season.

They went into Toronto and completely dominated the Maple Leafs. Start to finish. The Captain of the Leaves called it embarrassing but it’s something we have seen a lot from the Sens this year. When they are on and when goaltending isn’t soul-crushingly bad, they can completely control a hockey game.

But with 23 games left to play and the Trade Deadline looming, the Senators are in a hole. Five points back of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference and three teams in the way. Just keep winning.

The Ottawa Senators head West to visit Connor McDavid and the Oilers on Tuesday night in Edmonton.

Game day skate won’t be until a little later today because of whatever the heck time zones are but this does seem like a situation where the Sens will roll out the same lineup as the other night. We’ll confirm later today.

Batherson-Stützle-Giroux
Tkachuk-Cozens-Greig

Expecting Linus Ullmark to get the start.

Puck drops at just after 9:00 PM so get those pre-game naps in and keep a close eye on PaV’s game day countdown so that you are aware about the gradual passage of time. TSN5, Sportsnet West, TSN1200 and104.7 FM all have coverage. You can also catch the game via various illegal streaming platforms like SensAfterDark.org.
