Clash at Canadian Tire Centre: Ottawa Senators Face Off Against Minnesota Wild

In their last three games, all played at home, the Senators have outscored their opponents with an aggregate of 15 goals to 6. Their shooting percentage has been remarkable, averaging around 14 percent across these games. This indicates that when they shoot, they do so with precision and effectiveness.


The powerplay has been another area where Ottawa has excelled. They've capitalized on these opportunities with a success rate that would intimidate any opponent. Their faceoff win percentage also tells a story of dominance in puck possession – an essential aspect of controlling the game's tempo.


Defensively, the Senators have shown resilience as well. The goaltending stats reflect an above-average save percentage hovering around 92 percent in recent games. This solid performance between the pipes gives the team confidence and often demoralizes opposing shooters.


However, it's not just about scoring goals and defending; it's also about playing smart hockey. The Senators have kept their penalty minutes relatively low while still playing aggressively enough to win puck battles and create turnovers.


As we look towards this upcoming game against Minnesota Wild, fans should expect to see more of this high-energy play from Ottawa. With home-ice advantage and current momentum on their side, there is every reason for optimism among supporters.


The match is scheduled for October 27th at 7:00 PM Eastern Time at Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa. Fans can catch all the action live on ESPN+, TSN5 or RDSI for international viewers or BSN/BSWI if you're cheering from away territory.
