Year three covering the Sens. I consider myself incredibly lucky to be here. Thanks for reading, watching, and being part of the journey. I appreciate you all and I'm fired up for what is to come.

Linus Ullmark starts tonight. Zub and Burakovsky are out.

0151

Graeme Nichols @graemenichols.bsky.social · 9h

Zub and Ersson remained on the ice getting extra work in. Looks like Linus will get the start and Zub will need a little more time. Travis Green will speak shortly to confirm his lineup.

Graeme Nichols @graemenichols.bsky.social · 10h

Positive news for Senators fans. Linus Ullmark is on the ice, while Artem Zub and Andre Burakovsky are both skating in regular jerseys.

Small sample size obviously, but of the players in the league who've had 30+ minutes of 5v5 ice time, William Eklund's individual expected goals per 60 rate is second in the league. I've been impressed with his puck protection and management.

Graeme Nichols @graemenichols.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

The Senators are off today, but will return to the ice tomorrow morning ahead of their home opener again the Flyers.

Graeme Nichols @graemenichols.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

The Senators drop a 5-3 decision, but I managed to secure four tickets to see @fontainesdublin.bsky.social in Toronto. Today was a win.

William Eklund gets his first as a Senator. Gives the Sens some life and cuts the deficit to one with 9:30 left in the third.

Jonas Johansson has been recalled and Jorian Donovan has been loaned to the Belleville Senators.

Sam Ersson makes his debut in the third period. Ullmark was shaken up in that collision with Chabot/Peterka in the second.

Graeme Nichols @graemenichols.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Foegele rips one off the post on another shorthanded 2-on-1 with Pinto. Pinto's puck distribution has been on point tonight.

080

Graeme Nichols @graemenichols.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Ullmark looks shaken up after Chabot takes Peterka down and there's contact in the crease.

Graeme Nichols @graemenichols.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

The Bruins have not had a shot on goal in the second period yet.

Batherson and Stützle score their 150th career goals tonight.

1101

Graeme Nichols @graemenichols.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Tim Stützle has his third point of the night.

0110

Graeme Nichols @graemenichols.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

What a pass and finish for the Senators' third goal. Batherson on a breakaway.

170

Graeme Nichols @graemenichols.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

On Stützle's second goal, felt like you could see his brain processing the play in real time. It looked like he wanted to pass it the entire time, realized late he should shoot it. Fans, but has the athleticism and hands to recover and bury it.

Graeme Nichols @graemenichols.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

It was not a shorthanded goal on Timmy's second. Power play just expired as Timmy was shooting.

Graeme Nichols @graemenichols.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Timmy with another shorthanded goal off a fanned shot that worked out.

Graeme Nichols @graemenichols.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Nice job by Amadio to draw the defender and pass it to space for Timmy.

1100

Graeme Nichols @graemenichols.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Amadio to Timmy shorthanded. 1-0 Sens.

Graeme Nichols @graemenichols.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

With two games on the road before returning home, the Sens recalled Jorian Donovan for depth given Jake Sanderson’s lower-body injury.

Graeme Nichols @graemenichols.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

As I mentioned on @cominginhot.bsky.social this morning, I'll be doing the 'Coming in Hotter' postgame show tonight with @alexadamssn.bsky.social. Make sure you tune in.

Graeme Nichols @graemenichols.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Travis Green hasn't spoken with Jake Sanderson yet, but views it as a "good sign" that he skated today. Artem Zub skated but will not play tomorrow. Warren Foegele will be in the lineup.

Graeme Nichols @graemenichols.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Jake Sanderson is on the ice in a regular jersey.

Graeme Nichols @graemenichols.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Artem Zub appears to be skating with the main group this morning in a non-contact jersey.

And, in case you missed it last night, here's an article on my conversation with Hayden Hodgson in camp and how he earned a spot on the opening night roster.

More morning reading for Senators fans. Here is my latest looking at Hoyt Stanley's camp and how he became part of the opening night roster: thehockeynews.com/nhl/ottawa-s...

Here's my latest for @thehockeynews.bsky.social : it's an article on a conversation with Hayden Hodgson during training camp on how his skill set differentiated him from his peers and eventually earned him an opening night roster spot thehockeynews.com/nhl/ottawa-s...

Graeme Nichols @graemenichols.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Here is my latest for @thehockeynews.bsky.social on Jordan Spence and why his top-four role to start 2026-27 is an obvious upgrade on what the Sens had to start 2025-26 with. thehockeynews.com/nhl/ottawa-s...

Re: Blake Montgomery not being included on today's roster reveal by the Senators... Per the org, Montgomery is also on the non-roster injured reserve. Once he's healthy, he will be returned to Belleville.

Graeme Nichols @graemenichols.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

No big surprise, but all eight of the players (Blais, Bolduc, Boucher, Bourgault, Daoust, Kyron, Suzuki, Tomasino) that were placed on waivers yesterday by the Senators cleared.

080

Graeme Nichols @graemenichols.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

The Sens are set up for a weird 1st week. The season starts tomorrow, but the Sens won't play until Saturday when most teams will have already played multiple games. Many maintenance days for the players of late, so maybe the benefit to this week will be more time for recovery.

Sam Ersson and Linus Ullmark are the only two goaltenders on the ice this morning. We'll see if Leevi Merilainen, who was placed on waivers yesterday, participates in either of the two sessions today.

Graeme Nichols @graemenichols.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Nothing to show for it tonight yet, but Stephen Halliday's had a good showing tonight.
