The Ottawa Senators are in good hands with coach Travis Green.

Exiting the Stanley Cup postseason parade in the first round, as was the case last spring, won’t be tolerated in 2026 by Ottawa’s management and coaching staff. Qualifying for a chance to grab a hold of the Cup is Green’s expectation. Once in the last eight NHL seasons the Senators have been skating past the final regular season scheduled game. Finishing in fourth place, with 97 points last season isn’t acceptable hockey behavior anymore at Canadian Tire Center in Canada’s capital city.
