The 2025-26 regular season begins on Oct. 9 for the Ottawa Senators on the road against the Tampa Bay Lightning. However, the preseason is just two days away.
The Senators' first preseason game will be on Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m. ET when they host the Toronto Maple Leafs at Canadian Tire Centre. Six preseason games are on the schedule for the Senators.
With a new season drawing closer, projections and rankings will be made for all 32 teams. Recently, it was Bleacher Report's turn to give the Senators a power ranking with the preseason starting soon, but some may find the ranking low.
