Last night, the Ottawa Senators played their final preseason game before the 2025-26 regular season opener. The Senators earned a 3-1 road win against the Montreal Canadiens.
With the preseason now over, the regular season opener for the Senators is set for Thursday night on the road against the Tampa Bay Lightning at Benchmark International Arena with a 7 pm. ET puck drop.
Higher expectations are on the Senators after making the playoffs for the first time in eight years last season. With a talented roster, projections will be made by people, but a recent simulation is one that Sens fans and other fellow Canadians can dream of.
