Recent Performance Trends


The Ottawa Senators have shown a mixed bag of results in their recent outings, with a notable victory against Tampa Bay Lightning showcasing their potential. In that game, they managed to net 5 goals from 28 shots, demonstrating efficient scoring capabilities. Their powerplay unit capitalized on opportunities by scoring 2 goals out of 5 chances, highlighting an area where they could potentially exploit weaknesses in the St. Louis Blues' defense.


However, consistency remains a concern for the Senators as evidenced by their fluctuating win-loss record over these games. Despite these inconsistencies, standout performances from players like Drake Batherson and Jake Sanderson have provided moments of brilliance that fans will hope can become more regular occurrences.
