Ottawa Senators stud Jason Spezza received the NHL's first star of the week honors on Monday.
Spezza collected three goals and five assists during three games for the Senators, who posted a 2-1-0 mark. He sits just three points behind NHL leader Phil Kessel of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Nashville Predators goaltender Pekka Rinne was named the second star after recording three straight wins.
Pittsburgh Penguins star Evgeni Malkin secured the third star after amassing eight points - highlighted by his seventh career hat trick in an 8-3 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday. The Russian is currently riding a five-game scoring streak.

In 2009 the Ottawa Senators selected from the WHL, Spokane Chiefs defenseman, Jared Cowen. At the time it seemed like a pick that would take years to develop. Cowen wasn’t the best defenseman. He wasn’t ranked among the top defensemen in the draft and was never a big point getter in his junior days. He managed to rack up only a combined 41 points in 3 seasons and then suffered...

Earlier this afternoon at Senators practice, Paul MacLean unveiled his latest line combinations. The following trios were used: Greening-Speza-Alfredsson; Foligno-Turris-Condra; Smith-Regin-Neil; and Daugavins-Konopka-Winchester. None of the beat reporters that cover the Senators made mention of where Bobby Butler was, so I’ll just assume that he was in one of thahhh cohhhnahhs...

There’s been a lot of speculation around the Turris-Rundblad trade all over the internet, and the general feeling is that Sens fans don’t seem to approve of the deal. On the whole, the major complaint is regarding what Ottawa got and many think that they paid too much for Turris. Turris is currently listed as $1.4 million a year for the next 2 years, which is not the...

Now that the dust has settled on the David Rundblad/Kyle Turris trade, it remains to be seen how long the Ottawa Senators will elect to keep 14 forwards and 7 defencemen on the roster. Although Bobby Butler signed a one-way deal this past summer, he is exempt from waivers because he has not played in 70 NHL games or three NHL seasons. Having played in 61 career games, there is a...

Nick Foligno played his 300th NHL career last week. Tonight, he'll be on the ice with his "little" brother Marcus, who will make his NHL debut for Buffalo in Ottawa. Marcus is 6'4 220, and is considerable bigger, and some would say badder, than his older bro.
After this morning's game day skate, Nick spoke about how special it is to have his little brother...

If I told you that the Ottawa Senators could grab a piece of second-place in the Northeast division with a win tonight against the Buffalo Sabres, would you believe me?
Probably not. But, as I've said all year, the fact that this team - one that's comprised mostly of young talent and spare parts - is so competitive...

The Ottawa Senators stole a playoff spot from Buffalo tonight with a 4-1 win on home ice. It was a night for stories, with sibling rivalry, a fresh start, a shaky star goaltender looking for redemption and the return of veterans to the blue line. All that is enough excitement for one game, but this game surprisingly had very little going on until the third period.

Some might suggest it's a case of the hockey gods smiling down upon a tightly-knit family that lives and breathes the game.
