Opening week is almost upon us — less than a month away! In the opening days of the Ottawa Senators’ 2024-25 season, fans will have plenty to look forward to, both on and off the ice.
Home Opener
The Ottawa Senators’ season kicks off with a home opener match against the reigning Stanley Cup Champions. On Thursday, October 10, at 7:00 p.m. ET the Florida Panthers come to town in a game that will see captain Brady Tkachuk face off against his brother, Matthew.
The Senators have a franchise record of 57-47-3-6 against the Panthers, and fans can expect a physical match between the two teams. Last year’s home game against Florida saw the two teams combine for a total of 167 penalty minutes, which included 12 individual 10-minute misconducts.
This year’s home opener will bring back a fan favourite pre-game red carpet for the first time since 2019. Fans will want to be at the Canadian Tire Centre early to catch their favourite players as they make their entrance.
