Ottawa Senators

The Ottawa Senators finished the 2022-23 regular season in 6th place in the Atlantic Division.

Although they lost some valuable players, the Senators made some good additions to their lineup for the 2023-24 season.

Vladimir Tarasenko, Dominik Kubalik, and Joonas Korpisalo highlight the Senators key off-season additions.

They will also have Jakob Chychrun for an entire season. Adding these players to play with Tim Stutzle, Brady Tkachuk, Claude Giroux, and Drake Batherson makes the loss of Alex DeBrincat more manageable.

The Senators will also get forward Joshua Norris and goaltender Anton Forsberg back for injured reserve at some point.

Getting them back will further improve the team for the 2023-24 season. The Senators did not trail behind the Sabres and Panthers by much last season. I think we will see them make a jump in the standings this season. That is why I have them finishing 4th in the division.

Although I don’t think they’re ready to reach the top three spots in the division, I wouldn’t be surprised if they did. Whether they finish in 4th or 3rd in the Atlantic, I think the Senators will make the playoffs this season.
