Mathieu Joseph took over the Senators X (formerly twitter) account for the first period of their game against the Edmonton Oilers.

Senators fans were treated to a special surprise Saturday night, when the social media team announced via X (formerly twitter) that Mathieu Joseph would be the "guest admin" for the first period.

Hey Sens fans, Matty Jo here, will be tweeting from the Senators account for the first period and will answer some questions in the first intermission! Shoot me your best ones :) -MJ

The energy was high at the end of the first period as he was set to wrap up his time as the guest admin.

We'll take that first period. Good effort. Big kill to start the 2nd and then back to it after.

After providing commentary on the first period he took the entire intermission to answer a few fan questions in both English and French.

Absolutely, veteran in this league. I would have no problem giving my number to a veteran who wants it!

Loved it. He was first one to call me and we've been great friends for a while. Excited to see him getting married this summer !

Très hâte d'aller voir un match ! Extrêmement excité pour la ville d'Ottawa d'avoir accès au meilleur hockey féminin au monde à porter de mains.

Our first NHL game against each other was pretty special (also kinda funny high sticking each other in the face lol) but I have to say our first Q game was so special for me. First time on the ice at the same time at elite level was really cool for me.

J'adore aller en Californie. Mais une des places que j'aime vraiment jouer sur la route est Nashville! L'atmosphère est vraiment l'fun. Toujours un hymne national incroyable!

While Matty Jo is a natural behind the keys we'll settle for him being back on the ice helping the Senators.
