Founded and established by Ottawa real estate developer Bruce Firestone, the team is the second NHL franchise to use the Ottawa Senators name.

Ottawa Senators Prospect of the Week – Lucas Ellinas
|

The Ottawa Senators’ Prospect of the Week of Nov. 11-17 is Lucas Ellinas, who joins Carter Yakemchuk as the second player to receive the honour. After I mentioned his scoring drought last week, Ellinas finally found the back of the net, scoring three times in just two games, two of which were game-winners.
