Dating back to the 2022-23 season, the Senators’ game against Florida on April 6 saw the two teams combine for a total of 166 penalty minutes. With a history like this, Sens fans can look forward to a spirited home opener against the reigning Stanley Cup champions.
All-time, the Senators have a franchise record of 57-47-3-6 against the Panthers.
