The Ottawa Senators are set to face the Vegas Golden Knights in a crucial matchup that could see them finish October with a winning record, a significant feat given their struggles in November over recent years.
With a dismal November record of 27-46-3 since their Eastern Conference final appearance, the Senators aim to build momentum. Key injuries, including the loss of goaltender Linus Ullmark and defenseman Artem Zub, have posed challenges, but adapting to new head coach Travis Green's system is vital.
Despite ranking low in certain defensive metrics, the Senators have shown defensive improvement, limiting quality chances against. If their offense can catch up, they may navigate the upcoming schedule more effectively.
