The Ottawa Senators are under pressure to meet heightened expectations this season with new head coach Travis Green at the helm. After showing potential in previous years, the team aims to become a playoff contender. Green, who has a history of holding players accountable, will focus on improving the team's defensive structure.

With the addition of 2023 Vezina Trophy winner Linus Ullmark, the Senators hope to enhance their goaltending, which has struggled since Craig Anderson's departure. The roster includes promising young talent and experienced forwards, setting the stage for an exciting season ahead.
