Former NHL coach Bruce Boudreau recently floated a deal for Tom Wilson to the Ottawa Senators to aid their playoff push.

Defenceman Thomas Chabot, who suffered an upper-body muscle injury a week ago against the Stars at home, was on the ice on Monday. He hasn’t been cleared to take any contact, but the expectation is that he will be on the flight with his teammates when they depart Ottawa.

Last season, when the Ottawa Senators needed goal-scoring help, there weren’t many high-end options down in the minors. Their top goal-scoring Belleville candidates were Wyatt Bongiovanni and Angus Crookshank, who each scored 22 goals. Neither finished last season among the AHL’s top 30 goal scorers.

Good news for Ottawa Senators fans, as the franchise accelerated its timeline to be competitive in the 2025-26 season following the official announcement of a trade on Monday.

Elliotte Friedman, along with many other insiders confirmed that the Senators and Shane Pinto came to terms on a contract. According to reports, Pinto signed a 4-year contract extension with the Senators, with an AAV of $7.5 million.

The Ottawa Senators are looking for a roster shake-up. With Fabian Zetterlund struggling, is the $4.2M winger already on the trade block?

Amid captain Brady Tkachuk’s absence, the Ottawa Senators took decisive action regarding Shane Pinto, reflecting the team’s long-term plans and confidence in their young core.

After Shane Pinto signed his extension, who else will ink new deals, and who might depart in the coming years?

This game is a fascinating test for both clubs. The LA Kings (9-5-4, 22 points) are heating up, having won their last three games on the road, including a thrilling 4-3 overtime victory against the Maple Leafs. The Ottawa Senators (9-5-4, 22 points) are also holding their own, coming off a strong 5-3 win against the Bruins.
