It’s all starting to feel a little bit repetitive.
After starting their season with an impressive win over the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Senators have gone into a bit of a tailspin. And when I say a bit of a tailspin, I mean one of the worst stretches in franchise history. Since the expansion years, anyway.
Terrible goaltending, bad defence, atrocious penalty killing and a fan base in a complete freefall. Outscored by a 44 to 22 margin. Eight straight losses and another game against Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and the Edmonton Oilers on tap.

DJ Smith had his team on the ice for practice yesterday and once again, he was without his best defenceman. Thomas Chabot misses a second straight game. No other changes expected.
