After a tough three-game stretch in British Columbia against the Vancouver Canucks, the Sens head to Alberta where they'll face the Edmonton Oilers for two games beginning Sunday night.
And they're hoping a change of province brings a change in fortune.
"We're not putting pucks away and it's hard to win games when you're not scoring but I feel we're slowly starting to learn the type of identity we need to have," Connor Brown said. "We're getting lots of opportunities, lots of shots on goal, lots of o-zone time.
"We've got to stick with it and stay patient and we'll get the bounces. We need a little bit of puck luck here."
After opening the season with a 5-3 victory over Toronto, the Sens have gone 0-6-1 since.
The Senators certainly haven't been shy about shooting the puck averaging 31.3 shots a night including a season-high 43 shots Wednesday. However, they're only converting 6.8 per cent of the time. The league average is 9.8.
"Right now, it's just not finding the way in the net," head coach D.J. Smith said. "We've had plenty of looks. We've had lots of shots.
"We're going to be frustrated with the result but as a team, we're starting to learn what it will take for us to win some games and I think that'll happen shortly."
Bad bounces happen in hockey. For the Sens right now, it feels like a nightly occurrence. But they know that'll change.
"We've been getting some bad bounces for sure as a group but I think karma is going to change here," Matt Murray said. "We're doing the little things right and [on Thursday] I thought we took a huge step and if we keep doing that we're going to earn those bounces and earn some better luck."
A different opponent in the Oilers will be welcome but at the same time will present its challenges led by Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid. However, the Sens have had some recent success in Edmonton, including an active six-game win streak dating back to the 2014-15 season.
"We've got to keep moving, get our head up and stick together," Thomas Chabot said.
