The resurgent Ottawa Senators go for a third straight win when they host the Washington Capitals on Thursday night.

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

One thing to watch: It’s been an awakening for The Great 8, 39-year-old Capitals winger Alex Ovechkin, who has 22 goals in 34 games (he scored 31 all of last season). With 875 career goals, he’s now just 19 behind the NHL all-time record set by Wayne Gretzky.

The Sens have been parked in idle since last Sunday when they earned a 3-1 victory over the visiting Utah Hockey Club here. Ottawa is 7-2-1 in its last 10 games, and it is 4-0-1 in its last five home games, with the overtime loss to Washington on Jan. 16 the lone blemish on their home record over that span.

As the Ottawa Senators continue their sometimes-bumpy ride through a season that’s had plenty of positives, their lack of goal scoring remains a concern. Just 137 goals scored in 50 games? It’s puzzling,

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.

As the NHL Trade Deadline looms, one name has drawn almost no attention. However, he might be a good pickup for a team that lacks scoring. That’s Calgary Flames winger Andrei Kuzmenko.

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.

With both Ottawa and Washington featuring elite defenses, goals will be hard to come by in tonight's Eastern Conference showdown.

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.

The Ottawa Senators are in a seesaw battle for one of two Eastern Conference wildcard spots in the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Not only that, but they are just two points behind the Boston Bruins for third place in the Atlantic Division with two games in hand.
