Season Narrative
The 2025-26 season has seen the Ottawa Senators compile a robust 43-27-10 record, demonstrating consistent performance over 80 games. Their ability to secure 96 points thus far, with a projected final tally of 97, suggests a team that has found ways to win, even if it hasn't translated into a top divisional seed.

What Needs to Happen
Moving forward, the Senators' focus will be on maintaining their strong form as they head into the playoffs. With a guaranteed Wild Card spot, their final regular-season game offers an opportunity to build momentum and refine their game. To make a deep playoff run, they will need to leverage their consistent performance and address any areas that prevented a higher divisional ranking, ensuring they are prepared for the intensity of postseason competition.
