NHL Power Rankings: Which Teams Are Lighting Up the Ice and Which Are Hanging by a Thread After a Quarter Season
13. Ottawa Senators, 10-6-4
Last week: 8
Sean: 15
Dom: 13
Green flag: Team defense
No team in the league allows fewer expected goals at five-on-five than Ottawa (2.17). Seven individual players are sub-2.00, including Jake Sanderson and Shane Pinto.
Red flag: Linus Ullmark
In terms of actual goals against, though, Ottawa is all the way down at 19th (2.53). Blame their .893 team save percentage for that. Basically, blame Ullmark, who’s allowed nearly five goals more than expected at five-on-five and 7.5 overall.
