Ottawa Senators Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths:

  • Young forwards ready to break out: The Senators' top three scorers from last season -- Brady Tkachuk, Tim Stutzle and Drake Batherson -- return to form a solid young nucleus. Tkachuck, 24, led the Senators in scoring while Stutzle, 22, was second.
  • Goaltending: Linus Ullmark had a 2.58 goals-against average last season in Boston and gives the Senators a veteran presence in the net. In 2022-23, Ullmark won the Vezina Trophy after going 40-6 record for the Bruins with a 1.98 goals-against average.
  • Veteran leadership: The Senators have added some older players with Stanely Cup playoff experience in recent years to help their young team. Claude Girous, who captained the Flyers to the Stanley Cup Final in 2010, is in his third season with the club. Now the Senators have David Perron in tow after inking him to a free-agent deal. He won a Stanley Cup with the Blues in 2019. 

Weaknesses:

  • Penalty kill: The Senators had one of the worst penalty-killing units in the league last season. Opposing teams scored at a 25% clip. Only the Wild, Islanders and Ducks were worse.
  • Inconsistent power play: The Senators were 18th in the NHL in power-play percentage, converting at an 18% rate. Brady Tkachuck led the Senators with 12 power-play goals, but no one else was in double digits.
  • Defense: The Senators allowed 3.42 goals against last season. Only four teams gave up more goals last season. That's one of the reasons the Senators traded for Ullmark, but they also need their defensemen to step up their game in 2024-25.
