NHL Wraparound Quick Takes - Spring Cleaning - Ottawa Senators

About this episode

The episode discusses the Ottawa Senators' performance and challenges in the NHL season leading up to 2026-27.

After making a surprise trip to the Stanley Cup playoffs in 2025, the Ottawa Senators faced an uphill climb for nearly the entire season before qualifying this time around. Improved offensive output helped offset poor penalty killing, spotty goaltending and a rash of late season injuries to the defense. While it wasn't nearly enough to make a dent in the post-season, the Senators are known for their compete level and it's now up to GM Steve Staios to ensure that doesn't wane while bolstering the roster for 2026-27.
