Ottawa Senators Set to Face Florida Panthers at Amerant Bank Arena

In their latest match against the Minnesota Wild, despite a strong showing with 37 hits and a powerplay goal, the Senators fell short with a final score of 2-4. Their shooting percentage was modest at approximately 7 percent and they won just under half of their faceoffs. This loss highlighted areas where the team could improve, particularly in capitalizing on scoring opportunities and maintaining puck control.


However, looking back at their previous home game against the Dallas Stars offers a more encouraging perspective. The Senators emerged victorious with an impressive 4-2 win. They demonstrated efficiency on offense with a shooting percentage of about 13 percent while also maintaining an even faceoff win rate. Their goaltending was solid as well, boasting a save percentage around 94 percent.


The most dominant performance from Ottawa came during their encounter with the Arizona Coyotes. The Senators showcased their offensive prowess by netting six goals on thirty-two shots for an outstanding shooting percentage near 19 percent. Their powerplay execution was effective as well; they scored once out of four opportunities while winning over half of all faceoffs taken.


As we approach this upcoming game in Sunrise, Florida, it's clear that if Ottawa can harness the same energy and precision they displayed against Dallas and Arizona—particularly in terms of shooting accuracy—they stand to put up quite the fight against the Panthers.


Fans eager to see how these trends play out can catch all the action on October 29th at Amerant Bank Arena or tune into ESPN+, TVAS2 or TSN5 for live coverage starting at 8:00 PM Eastern Time (ET).
