Senators announce 2023-24 regular-season schedule

OTTAWA - The National Hockey League and the Ottawa Senators announced today the 2023-24 regular-season schedule, which will see the club begin the campaign on Wednesday, Oct. 11, when it visits the Carolina Hurricanes. It will mark the first time in franchise history that the Senators begin a campaign against the Hurricanes.

Senators fans will have the first opportunity to see the 2023-24 version of the team on Saturday, Oct. 14, when the home schedule opens by hosting the Philadelphia Flyers in a 1 p.m. matchup at Canadian Tire Centre.

The 2023-24 regular season will once again see the unbalanced Atlantic Division schedule where the Senators will face conference rivals Buffalo, Detroit, Florida, Tampa Bay and Toronto four times each. Ottawa will oppose both Boston and Montreal three times.

Five of the team's opening six games will take place at home as part of a schedule that has a total of 30 games from Thursday to Sunday at Canadian Tire Centre, including 13 Saturday home games.

The schedule has a unique wrinkle this year; for the third time in team history the Senators will venture overseas to play regular season games. Ottawa will take on the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday, Nov. 16, and the Minnesota Wild on Saturday, Nov. 18, in Stockholm, Sweden.

The 82-game 2023-24 calendar will feature home and road games against all 31 league opponents and will see the Senators conclude their regular-season schedule on Tuesday, April 16 at Boston following their final home game of the season on Saturday, April 13, when the Montreal Canadiens visit the nation's capital.
