Ottawa Senators Betting

The context

The Senators cross the Atlantic in December to face the Blackhawks in Düsseldorf, in the Global Series Germany. Some of their fans live in Gatineau, across the Ottawa River in Quebec, where our operators are offered.

The most common bets

• Moneyline: the winner, overtime and shootout included.
• 60-minute result (1X2): win, loss or tie in regulation.
• Puck line: usually ±1.5 goals.
• Total goals and player props (scorer, points, shots).
• Futures: Stanley Cup, division, individual awards.

Ottawa Senators schedule 2026-27: the dates that matter

The 2026-27 regular season is 84 games per team, the first time since 1993-94. Times are Eastern, from the schedule the team published.

The schedule also has 14 back-to-backs and four stretches of five straight road games.

The 2026-27 Senators: life after Tkachuk

The big change of summer 2026: Brady Tkachuk was traded to the Florida Panthers in June 2026, after asking to be traded to Florida, where his brother Matthew plays. Ottawa got the No. 9 and No. 25 picks in the 2026 draft, a conditional 2029 first-round pick and a 2027 second-round pick. Tkachuk leaves with 463 points in 572 regular-season games for Ottawa.

Travis Green starts his third season behind the bench. In 2025-26 the Senators went 44-27-11, fifth in the Atlantic Division, then were swept in four games by the Carolina Hurricanes in the first round.

• Forwards: Tim Stützle (team-high 83 points in 2025-26), Drake Batherson (33 goals, 71 points), Dylan Cozens (28 goals) and Shane Pinto (23 goals).
• Defence: Jake Sanderson (54 points in 67 games in 2025-26) and Thomas Chabot.
• Additions: William Eklund, acquired from the San Jose Sharks, and Andre Burakovsky, acquired from the Chicago Blackhawks. Claude Giroux, 38, signed a new one-year deal.
• In goal: Linus Ullmark and Samuel Ersson.

What moves the Senators odds

None of these guarantees a result. They're things to check before you bet.

• The starting goalie: Ullmark or Ersson. The confirmed starter, often announced the morning of the game, can move the line.
• Back-to-backs: with 14 of them, the second night often brings a backup goalie and tired legs.
• Road trips: check where a game falls in the four five-game road stretches (first game or fifth).
• The Germany trip: jet lag, 1 p.m. and 8 a.m. Eastern start times, then the flight back to North America.
• Scoring without Tkachuk: the first weeks will show who takes his net-front and power-play role. Player props follow those roles.
• Rivalries: games against Toronto and Montreal draw heavy fan money, which can shape the line as much as recent form.

Markets worth a look in 2026-27

• Ottawa Senators odds to make the playoffs (yes/no): the most direct way to judge the team without its former captain.
• Atlantic Division and Senators Stanley Cup odds: futures; your stake is tied up until the season ends.
• Player props: Stützle points, Batherson goals, Sanderson points among defencemen.
• Individual awards: where offered, read the settlement rules before you bet.
