Season of professional ice hockey team
The 2020β21 Ottawa Senators season was the
29th season of the
Ottawa Senators of the
National Hockey League (NHL). The Senators finished the season out of the playoffs for the fourth consecutive season.
Due to the
CanadaβU.S. border restrictions brought in as a result of the
COVID-19 pandemic , the NHL realigned its divisions. The Senators were re-aligned with the other six Canadian franchises into the newly-formed
North Division . The league's 56βgame season is to be played entirely within the new divisions, meaning that Ottawa and the other Canadian teams played an all-Canadian schedule for the 2020β21 regular season as well as the first two rounds of the
2021 Stanley Cup playoffs .
The Senators' season started off poorly; they began a nine-game losing streak in the second game of the season, and could not make up for the poor start, although they had a strong final month of play, finishing the season with a 10β3β1 run. In the off-season, the Senators had picked up a number of veteran free agents and traded for veteran goalie
Matt Murray . The team had not played in over 10 months at the start of the season, and it showed in the long losing streak. As the season wore on, the team played more of their younger players and traded a number of the veterans at the trading deadline.
Brady Tkachuk was the leading points scorer for the team and
Connor Brown scored 21 goals to lead the team.
The Senators were officially eliminated from playoff contention with a 3β2 overtime loss to the
Montreal Canadiens on May 2.

Team business
The team introduced three new jerseys for the season. Two were updated versions of the team's original jerseys used from 1992β1997 and a third was a "Reverse Retro" incorporating the style of the black original jersey, using red as the base colour instead.
In December 2020, the team announced a seven-year lease extension with the city of
Belleville, Ontario , to host their
American Hockey League affiliate, the
Belleville Senators , through the 2026β27 AHL season.
[2] However, due the COVID-19 pandemic, the Belleville Senators played their delayed-start season in Ottawa at the Canadian Tire Centre instead.
[3]
As there were ongoing restrictions amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the start of the season was delayed and the Senators were granted permission by the provincial government to play in its home arena as long as it was without spectators.
[4] Owner Eugene Melnyk made public his proposal to seat up to 6,000 fans, but withdrew the proposal after criticism.
In January 2021, former team general
John Muckler passed away and was honoured at the first game. Muckler was the team's general manager when the team played in the
2007 Stanley Cup Finals . Also in January 2021, the team's former head of graphic design Kevin Caradonna passed away. Caradonna had designed the "forward-facing" logo used from 1997 until 2020 and the team's mascot "
Spartacat ."
[5]
In February 2021, the
Brampton Beast , the team's
ECHL affiliate, announced that it had ceased operations permanently. The team had been one of several ECHL teams to voluntarily suspend operations before the
2020β21 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
[6]
Off-season
The Senators parted ways with long-time goaltender
Craig Anderson , announcing that they would not offer him a new contract. The team also parted ways with forward
Bobby Ryan , buying out his contract. The team did not offer contracts to
Mark Borowiecki and
Anthony Duclair . The team also traded players on the long-term injured list:
Marian Gaborik and
Anders Nilsson to the
Tampa Bay Lightning , who used the contracts for salary cap relief.
On the second day of the
2020 NHL Entry Draft , the team traded for veteran
Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender
Matt Murray , giving up a 2020 second-round pick and
Jonathan Gruden , a 2018 fourth-round pick. The team picked up several veterans in trades, including
Braydon Coburn ,
Erik Gudbranson ,
Cedric Paquette ,
Derek Stepan , and
Austin Watson . The team acquired NHL veterans
Evgenii Dadonov and
Alex Galchenyuk as free agents.
Regular season
The team played its first game of the season on January 15, 2021, defeating the "Battle of Ontario" rival
Toronto Maple Leafs at the
Canadian Tire Centre . It was the team's first game in 310 days. The team had nine new players in the lineup, including 2020 first-round pick
Tim Stuetzle . The Senators proceeded to lose nine games in a row in January, before defeating the
Montreal Canadiens on February 4.
[7]
On February 15, 2021, the Senators made their first-ever comeback in team history from being four or more goals behind. The team was down 5β1 in Toronto to the Maple Leafs near the end of the second period.
Nick Paul started the comeback with a shorthanded goal. In the third period,
Artyom Zub scored his first NHL goal on a breakaway after exiting the penalty box.
Connor Brown later scored just after a power play, and
Evgenii Dadonov scored twice; first to tie the game with two minutes to play with Ottawa goalie
Marcus Hogberg on the bench for an extra attacker and then scored on a breakaway to win the game 6β5 in overtime. However, he made a save while in the crease to stop Toronto's potential overtime goal.
[8]
The Senators goaltenders suffered a rash of injuries, causing the team to use five goaltenders. Matt Murray, Marcus Hogberg and
Joey Daccord were all injured at one time. Daccord's injury ended his season. The Senators called up
Filip Gustavsson for his first NHL game and picked up
Anton Forsberg on waivers.
[9]
Prior to the trade deadline, the Senators picked up
Ryan Dzingel for his second term with the team, trading Alex Galchenyuk and Cedric Paquette to the Carolina Hurricanes. At the trade deadline, well out of a playoff spot, the Senators traded several veterans for draft picks. Erik Gudbranson went to the Nashville Predators for
Brandon Fortunato and a 2023 seventh-round draft pick.
Mike Reilly was traded to the
Boston Bruins for a third-round pick in the
2022 . Braydon Coburn was traded to the
New York Islanders for a seventh-round pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft.
[10]
Connor Brown set a team record, scoring in eight consecutive games, beating the previous record of six, held by
Jason Spezza and
Daniel Alfredsson .
