Ottawa Senators

While Tim Stutzle, Brady Tkachuk, and Drake Batherson have been leading the offense with 43 goals and 72 assists, the rest of the team has been facing difficulties. Only six skaters have managed to score seven or more goals, leading opponents to limit their top-heavy offense. On the defensive side, the team has been performing well, allowing only 2.93 goals per game, with players like Thomas Chabot, Nick Jensen, Jake Sanderson, and Tyler Kleven contributing positively. With Linus Ullmark out due to injury, there is hope that backup goaltender Anton Forsberg will improve his performance.
