Sens Nation - Your Ottawa Senators Podcast

Since our last episode, the Sens lost to the Islanders and defeated Boston impressively on the road, 3-2 in overtime. Linus Ullmark was impressive in his return to Boston. Brady Tkachuk launched team record 12 shots, including the winner and Steve watched the Islanders' game with Pierre Dorion.

The Senators are home to host the Islanders trying to shake off a beatdown in Buffalo. We discuss the game, some controversial calls, Linus Ullmark's uneven first month and much more.

Are the Ottawa Senators For Real This Season? They've had good stretches before. Why is this different? We talk about the impressive games against the Rangers and the Kraken. And Brady Tkachuk sounds like a man who's ready to do whatever it takes to make the next step.

The Sens fire a blank at Utah. Linus Ullmark misses a fourth straight game. Anton Forsberg comes up big. Artem Zub missed a third straight game. When he comes back, who’s out? Nick Jensen shows some offensive upside. And much more.

The Senators weathered the storm in Linus Ullmark's absence, going 2-1, including a 5-4 win over Tampa Bay on Saturday. Ullmark is back and will join the team for a three-game road trip that starts Tuesday in Utah. Jake Sanderson's stock continues to rise. And the Sens' big guns are all getting their points across early.

The Sens have gone 1-2 since our last episode: a 4-1 loss in Montreal, a wild 8-7 OT win over LA and a 3-1 loss to the Devils. Injuries set in early. Linus Ullmark is already dinged up. He might be ready on Saturday unless he's not. Artem Zub and Ridly Greig are out for a week or two. The new free-agent forwards are off to a slow start. Erik Brannstrom back in the NHL.

Linus Ullmark shines as the Ottawa Senators win their home opener 3-1 over the Stanley Cup Champs. We discuss game number one, what we liked, what we didn't like (spoiler: not much), and we also wonder about the game in Montreal on Saturday night and how feisty it's likely to get.

The Ottawa Senators announced the signing of goalie Linus Ullmark to a four-year extension today worth $33 million. That will keep him in Ottawa for the next five seasons. In this episode, Steve Warne is joined by Graeme Nichols, a fellow contributor to The Hockey News Ottawa, to break it all down. And we hear from Steve Staios and Linus Ullmark, in their own words, as to why the extension made sense for both sides.

The Senators have settled on their final roster but are well-positioned for tinkering without concern about waivers. Carter Yakemchuk returns to junior, and Zack Ostapchuk heads for Belleville. Adam Gaudette gets waived and then makes the team. Shane Pinto says there are no more excuses; this club needs to make the playoffs.

The Senators appear to be opening the season with forward Zack Ostapchuk and defenceman Carter Yakemchuk on the roster. Zack MacEwen will also be there. Adam Gaudette and Jan Jenik are both placed on waivers.
