The Senators need a better start next season and five of their first six games in their schedule will be at home.
The Ottawa Senators 2023-24 regular-season schedule has been announced. It starts Wednesday, October 11th with a road game against the Carolina Hurricanes. Then it's back home for a rare matinee home opener on October 14th against the Philadelphia Flyers to kick off a five-game homestand.
The Senators will face rivals Buffalo, Detroit, Florida, Tampa Bay and Toronto four times each. They get Boston and Montreal just three times.
30 of their home games take place at the end of the week, from Thursday to Sunday, including 13 Saturday home games.
The schedule ever has a European vacation worked into it. Ottawa will take on the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday, Nov. 16, and the Minnesota Wild on Saturday, Nov. 18, in Stockholm, Sweden. The last time they went to Sweden, their season came apart, leading to the rebuild. Optimistic Sens fans are hoping this same trip symbolizes the end of the rebuild, with better days ahead.
The 2024 NHL All-Star Weekend will take place in Toronto Friday, Feb. 2, and Saturday, Feb. 3.
