Minas Panagiotakis/Getty Images/AFPAfter the first five days of NHL action, the Senators led all teams in a statistical category they'd rather view from the bottom of the pile.
Through three games, they had been called for 17 minors, which was three more than the next most penalized teams, the Rangers and the Leafs.
Patrick Wiercioch is Ottawa's most frequent visitor to the box at this point, with four minors. Mark Stone and Alex Chiasson have each been whistled three times.
