Ottawa Senators announce 2022-23 season schedule
The Ottawa Senators have announced their 2022-23 season schedule, dropping the puck first against the Buffalo Sabres.
The regular season for the Sens begins Oct. 13 in Buffalo. This is the first time the Sens have opened the season against the Sabres since 2015.
Ottawa will face Buffalo, Boston, Detroit, Montreal and Toronto four times each in the coming season and will play Florida and Tampa three times each.
The home opener will be played Oct. 18 vs. the Boston Bruins, launching a five-game homestand—the longest of the season.
The home game on Monday, Nov. 14, vs. the New York Islanders will start at 5 p.m. ahead of the induction of Daniel Alfredsson into the Hockey Hall of Fame. Fans in attendance at the Canadian Tire Centre will be invited to attend a viewing party of the induction ceremony, which will be available to watch on the Bell HD Screen.
The team previously announced an eight-game pre-season, with just one match at the Canadian Tire Centre. Two of the games will be played in Atlantic Canada.
The Senators finished the 2021-22 season with 73 points, in seventh place in the Atlantic Division. The 2021-22 season was marked with several games that needed to be rescheduled because of COVID-19 affecting either the Senators locker room or other teams’ players.
This will also mark the first full season for the team since the death of owner Eugene Melnyk, who died March 28 at the age of 62.
This announcement comes a day before the 2022 NHL Draft. The Ottawa Senators pick seventh overall.
