The Ottawa Senators have a 6-5-2 overall record after Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Montreal Canadiens. The Eastern Conference standings are getting tighter with each game played.
All 16 teams in the Eastern Conference have a record above .500, and have 13 points on the season. The Senators currently sit in fourth place in the Atlantic Division with 14 points.
Trade rumors in November can happen during a season. Already, rumors of Steven Stamkos being traded away by the Nashville Predators have been talked about. However, Stamkos is one player the Senators don't need to waste their time trading for.
