The Ottawa Senators will be without defenceman Jake Sanderson for Thursday's game against the Boston Bruins. Sanderson will be replaced in the lineup by defenceman Donovan Sebrango. This will mark the first game of the season that the 22-year-old has missed. In 47 games this season, he has two goals, 23 assists and is a minus-17.

After years of instability, the Ottawa Senators may have finally figured out their defence. The team allows an average of just 2.79 goals per game, the seventh-lowest in the NHL.

Coming off a 2-1 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs in the Battle of Ontario on Saturday, Ottawa closed out the weekend with its second straight win by knocking off the Utah Hockey Club 3-1 in front of 16,897 on Sunday night at the Canadian Tire Centre.

OTTAWA -- Leevi Merilainen made 34 saves, and the Ottawa Senators won 3-1 against the Utah Hockey Club at Canadian Tire Centre on Sunday.

After back-to-back wins over the weekend against the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Utah Hockey Club, the team sits in third place in the Atlantic Division and entrenched in a playoff spot a month before the trade deadline.

The Ottawa Senators won the second clash with the Toronto Maple Leafs this season led by goals from Tim Stützle and Shane Pinto with Anton Forsberg standing tall in the Senators net. Jackson Starr recaps the Battle of Ontario game in the latest Sens Rewind.

Brady Tkachuk is on a career-long nine game pointless streak, but had his best game of 2025 against Boston with 1.74 ixG contributions and five shots on goal. He’s due for a breakout.

Utah generates more five-on-five offence than Ottawa (most teams do) and Ottawa does a better job suppressing five-on-five expected goals. Both teams have pretty forgettable special teams and I found it surprising that Utah takes more penalties than Ottawa (both teams draw similar amounts of penalty minutes).

Now, the Senators can finally claim a shutdown duo once again in Jake Sanderson and Artem Zub, who are halting scoring attempts by other teams’ best players on a nightly basis. The proclamation might have come earlier in the season, too, if it weren’t for Zub’s injuries.
