On March 14, 2024, the struggling Ottawa Senators battle the Columbus Blue Jackets. The clash pits two Eastern Conference teams seeking improved positioning determined to conclude the campaign on a high note. The Senators’ record stands at 26-33-4, landing them at the Atlantic Division’s cellar and holding the East’s second-worst mark. Though their offense averages 3.17 goals per game a potent attack defensive woes plague them. Over the past eight games they’ve surrendered 3.51 goals per contest on average fueling their recent slide. The Senators’ offence impresses but defense falters. The Blue Jackets match looms as a chance to right the ship before the season’s end. Both teams eye a strong finish and motivations align. The clash awaits, an Eastern Conference battle of resolve.
Ottawa Senators’ standout players include Tim Stutzle, Brady Tkachuk, and Claude Giroux. Combined they’ve scored 60 goals dished out 105 assists. But the offence doesn’t stop there. Mathieu Joseph, Drake Batherson and Ridley Greig have chipped in with 42 goals and 58 assists. On defense, Jakob Chychrun and Jake Sanderson have been rock-solid contributing 17 goals and 45 assists from the blueline. Contrast that with the struggling Columbus Blue Jackets saddled with a dismal 22-33-10 record the worst in the conference. Paltry, averaging a meager 2.92 goals per game. In their last two outings, they mustered just one measly goal. Leading scorers Johnny Gaudreau, Kirill Marchenko and Dmitri Voronkov have combined for 44 goals and 64 assists but it hasn’t been enough to lift this sinking ship.
