Tkachuk added to All-Star Game
Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports Tkachuk joins Duclair as Ottawa’s representatives One man’s injury is another man’s opportunity. With news coming out that Auston Matthews was nursing a wrist injury and wouldn’t participate in any of the on-ice activities during All-Star weekend, we knew a replacement would be announced.

December Reflections
Marc DesRosiers-USA TODAY Sports The team is still showing a lot of heart, even if the results in December weren’t quite as good It’s time for our monthly recap for a team that despite not performing well is probably not disappointing any of us. December is often associated with festive celebrations, but for the Ottawa Senators the month was filled with new injuries, on-going struggles, and a slow bottoming out. The highlight of the month has to be Anthony Duclair’s much-deserved spot at the All-Star game. After everything that has been said about him, it was nice to see him get...

Game 43 Hub: Sens @ Caps
Photo by Patrick Smith/ The Sens visit the league leaders. Searching for their first win of the new year, the Ottawa Senators will have a tough test tonight, when they visit the league-leading Washington Capitals. Both Anthony Duclair and Dylan DeMelo could return to the lineup, tonight, having taken first line rushes at practice yesterday. Duclair missed his first contest of the season on Saturday, banged up after blocking a shot, while DeMelo has been out since December 11th with a broken finger. If they can’t go, expect one of Scott Sabourin/Mikkel Boedker, or Andreas Englund to...

Bolts Come Back to Beat Sens
Photo by Richard A. Whittaker/Icon Sportswire via Perfect tank game. For a team like the Ottawa Senators, for whom many have the expectation of “lose, but make it entertaining”, games can’t go much better than last night. The Sens put forth a generally solid performance, taking a 3-2 lead into the third period, but came up just short against an immensely talented Tampa Bay Lightning squad, ultimately falling 5-3. Drake Batherson drew into the lineup for the first time since October, with Anthony Duclair banged up after blocking a shot against the Florida Panthers. The rookie...

Sens Rusty in 4-3 OT Loss to Devils
Photo by Andre Ringuette/NHLI via We’ve come to expect more from the team than today’s effort. The Senators returned from their Christmas Break to host the New Jersey Devils today, a fellow candidate to draft Alexis Lafrenière with the 1st overall pick in 2020. Ultimately, it was the Senators that saw their lottery odds increase, as they were beaten 4-3 in overtime by a determined Devils squad. The Sens began the period well, with Anthony Duclair and Chris Tierney combining for a good chance on Mackenzie Blackwood. They looked like the slightly better team overall until a...

As the end of 2019 comes into sight, the Ottawa Senators are presented with a lot of important choices in 2020 that could affect the direction of the franchise for years to come. Anthony Duclair’s breakout season, combined with his age and fit with the other core pieces, has made it an...
