Ottawa Senators Betting, Odds, Picks & Predictions

Have a read on below at some quick stats and facts on the Ottawa Senators to get you started: 

This version of the Ottawa Senators were one of the most recent teams to enter the National Hockey League as they were founded in 1992. In fact the original version of the Ottawa Senators was the more successful franchise and to this day the new Senators have failed to live up to the achievements of the old ones. 

The current Ottawa Senators have been in the National Hockey League for thirty years now and they have never won the Stanley Cup. They have only appeared in the Stanley Cup once in their history and it was during the 2006-07 season. However, they were unable to bring the trophy back home to Canada. 

During the first four seasons of their existence they would miss the playoffs and would fail to get above sixth place in their division. In fact they were so bad they never won over 20 games in those first four seasons. The first two years were by far the worst as they only won 24 games out of 168 games played, as they played 84 games in each season. 

Year three is still the record for the fewest wins in franchise history as they played a total of 48 games and only managed to pick up nine victories. They doubled that amount in year four as they won 18 games in a full 82 game season during the 1995-96 National Hockey League season. 

However, it was like an instant turnaround in year five as they went from 18 wins to 31 and finished in third place in the Northeast Division. Despite finishing the year with a losing record they made the playoffs for the first time. However, they would go on to lose in the first round. 

That 1996-97 campaign would end up being the start of 11 straight seasons with playoff appearances for the Ottawa Senators. They reached the playoffs for the remainder of the 1990s and the majority of the 2000s as well. They also notched their first playoff series win in 1996-97 as they defeated the New Jersey Devils in six games but would end up losing in Round 2. 

The next three seasons they would once again reach the postseason. But they would fail to win another playoff series as they were knocked out by Buffalo and Toronto. That three year stretch also included a pair of four game sweeps, which led to a total playoff record of 2-12 during that time period.

During the 2001-02  season they would finally have some playoff success again. They won their first round matchup before being knocked out in the second round again. During that time they would also set the franchise record for most points in a season with 113 during the 2002-03 season. A mark that would tie just three seasons later during the 2005-06 campaign. 

It was also in 2003 they would make their first Eastern Conference Finals appearance. However, they would end up losing in seven games to the New Jersey Devils. During the 2003-04 season they would reach the playoffs again but be knocked out in seven games for the third straight season, once again by the Toronto Maple Leafs.

When the National Hockey League returned from lockout after the 2004-05 season, the Senators would win the fourth division title up until that point in their history, to go along with titles from 1998-99, 2000-01, 2002-03, and now 2005-06. The following season in 2006-07, they would make the Stanley Cup for the first and only time in franchise history. 

Throughout the next eight or so years after making the Stanley Cup the Senators were consistently making the postseason. However, that would come to an end for good in 2017 as they have now failed to reach the playoffs for five consecutive seasons. Although 2021-22 was the first time they have shown improvement in a while, as they won 33 games as opposed to wins in the mid 20s throughout the four years prior.

If you are a fan of the Ottawa Senators, then you know that the only thing that matters right now is how they are expected to perform in the 2022-23 season. Do the Ottawa Senators have the star power to make it all the way to the playoffs and win the Stanley Cup in 2023?
