Just as the Ottawa Senators entered the Eastern Conference playoff race, struggles in a key portion of the game cropped up. Now sitting one point out of the Eas

A 5-0 rout of the Senators Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden bumped the Blueshirts up to just two points out of the second wild-card spot.

Don't look now, but the Montreal Canadiens are occupying one of the wild card positions in the Eastern Conference. The upstart Canadiens are 7-2-1 in their last 10 games and it's brought them into a tie with the Ottawa Senators for fourth place in the Atlantic Division and into a playoff spot for the first time during the 2024-2025 season.

The Ottawa Senators aren't accustomed to being atop the Eastern Conference wild-card race in late January. Meanwhile, the New York Rangers didn't expect to be on the outside looking in at the playoff picture beyond the halfway point of the season.

A commitment to defence has been a central theme for the Senators, not just Tkachuk, under new head coach Travis Green. The Senators have the sixth-best goals-against rate in the league, a 180-degree turn from the fifth-worst in the league last season.

NHL trade deadline approaches, teams with a chance at hoisting Lord Stanley or simply punching their ticket to the dance could be among the most active when it comes to reinforcing their rosters.

Veteran forward David Perron will return to the Ottawa Senators‘ lineup Thursday versus the Atlantic Division rival Boston Bruins following a 27-game absence due to a back injury, reports Julian McKenzie of The Athletic.

The Senators have started climbing up the Eastern Conference standings again with three straight victories ahead of Thursday's encounter with the Washington Capitals. As much as Travis Green's team would love to win its fourth outing in a row, victory will be easier said than done if Thomas Chabot isn't in the lineup.

You can debate which of the Senators’ needs — a scoring forward, another defenceman, possibly some goaltending help — is more pressing but the recent skid, about two months before the trade deadline, has amplified the need for general manager Steve Staios to make a move.

Longtime veteran winger David Perron is expected to return for the first time since before American Thanksgiving.

Five different Blueshirts, including Matt Rempe, scored, and goalie Igor Shesterkin made 20 saves in posting his second straight shutout as the Rangers blew out the visiting Senators, 5-0, to not only extend their point streak to nine games (6-0-3), but to also pull themselves within two points of a playoff spot.
