The Senators kick the week off with a matinee game against the Florida Panthers on Saturday. It will be the third and final meeting between the two teams this season, who currently sit tied 1-1 in their season series. Any game against the defending Cup champions always promises to be exciting, but with just six points separating them prior to puckdrop, the game is even more important. Entering Saturday's game, the Senators are 5-4-1 in their last 10 games, while the Panthers are 4-5-1.

Up next, the Senators will face off against the Columbus Blue Jackets for the second time this season. Their first meeting came at home just last week, and saw the Senators come away with a 3-2 victory. The Blue Jackets currently sit nine points back of the Senators and are in the midst of a heated race for the second wild card spot, which means the Senators will be facing a motivated opponent. In their past 10 games, the Blue Jackets sit at a 3-6-1 record.
