The Florida Panthers are heading to Ottawa to play the Senators on Thursday night. Last season, the Panthers beat the Senators in the regular season series 5-0. This game is the first of four games on an early road trip this season. The Panthers won their home opener Tuesday night against the Boston Bruins 6-4. The Panthers are hoping to have a successful road trip and get all the points they can in each game.
The Florida Panthers swept the Senators last season in the regular season in all five games they played. The Panthers have dominated against the Senators and finding success against them. The Panthers opened their season at home against the Bruins and Forward Sam Bennett lit the lamp twice with a 2-goal game and Forward Sam Reinhart had a short-handed goal for the Panthers as well in the game.
The Ottawa Senators signed Goaltender Linus Ullmark to a 4-year, 33 million-dollar contract on Wednesday. It has an average annual value of $8.25 million and begins next season. Ullmark started his career in Buffalo and then went to Boston for a short time. Ullmark has won the Vezina Trophy in 2022-2023.
This is the Ottawa Senators home opener against the Florida Panthers on Thursday. The Tkachuk brothers will yet again play. Brady Tkachuk plays for the Senators and brother Matthew Tkachuk plays for the Panthers. With the Tkachuk’s in town, fans can expect a physical and exciting match to kick off the season. The Florida Panthers recently called up goalie Spencer Knight for tomorrow's game and he will back up starting goalie Sergei Bobrovsky.
The Florida Panthers will look to keep their momentum going against the Senators on Thursday night. There are some new faces on the Ottawa Senators team this year, especially a familiar face for the Panthers Nick Cousins. He played for the Panthers for the last two seasons. David Perron has also joined the Senators this year from St. Louis. It should be an exciting night of hockey between these two teams with the Tkachuk brothers and a former Panther Nick Cousins on the Senators now.
The last time these two teams met every player on the ice was ejected from the game after defusing a large brawl that kept reigniting between different players. There were a total of 167 penalty minutes in the game. It will be fun to watch these teams play again and see if there are any brawls. Panthers are the money line favorite in this matchup at -135 but the Ottawa Senators have not yet played their first game.
