Pre-GAME

In a stark contrast to the game against the Islanders, the Senators came to play and defeated the Anaheim Ducks 5-1. Drake Batherson scored his 100th goal and scored a natural hat trick along the way. After a four game homestead (3-1), the Senators embark on a short road trip to Carolina before heading back home for their last home game of the year against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

PLAYER PROFILE: That’s all folks! We have now showcased the entire Senators starting lineup starting with forwards, then defence and the two netminders. In the new year we will showcase some prospects and rookies that have played with the Senators or that might be called up soon.

Happy 24th birthday to Mads, drafted in 2019 by the Ottawa Senators in the 2nd-round – 37th overall, the Allborg, Denmark native has played 28 games with the Senators over the last 4 years. Used only as an emergency backup for a handful of games until the 2022-23 season when he played in 19 games due to injuries to both goaltenders.
