Making the playoffs for the first time in eight years can get hockey fans to talk about your team again down the road. That is something the Ottawa Senators did in 2025.
The Senators have a young core that is destined to grow more and be around for years to compete to win the Stanley Cup. The first step in doing that for the Senators in the 2025-26 season is on Oct. 9 when they open the season against the Tampa Bay Lightning at Amalie Arena.
With having a roster that can win for years to come, more attention will arrive for the Senators.
