Founded and established by Ottawa real estate developer [[Bruce Firestone]], the team is the second NHL franchise to use the Ottawa Senators name. The [[Ottawa Senators (original)|original Ottawa Senators]], founded in 1883, had a famed history, winning the [[Stanley Cup]] 11 times,<ref>NHL counts 11. Hockey Hall of Fame count is 10.</ref> playing in the NHL from 1917 until 1934. On December 6, 1990, after a two-year public campaign by Firestone, the NHL awarded a new franchise, which began play in the [[1992–93 NHL season|1992–93 season]].{{sfn|Finnigan|1992|p=201}} The Senators have made 16 playoff appearances, won four division titles, and won the 2003 [[Presidents' Trophy]]. They made an appearance in the [[2007 Stanley Cup Finals]], but lost to the [[Anaheim Ducks]] in five games.

{{main|History of the Ottawa Senators (since 1992)}}
[[File:Ott sens campaign.png|thumb|alt=Ottawa Senators text using decorative fonts |Pre-launch logo used in the "Bring Back the Senators" campaign]]
Ottawa had been home to the [[Ottawa Senators (original)|original Senators]], a founding NHL franchise and 11-time [[Stanley Cup]] champions. After the NHL expanded to the United States in the late 1920s, the original Senators' eventual financial losses forced the franchise to move to [[St. Louis]] in [[1934–35 NHL season|1934]] operating as the [[St. Louis Eagles|Eagles]] while a Senators [[Ottawa Senators (senior hockey)|senior amateur team]] took over the Senators' place in Ottawa.<ref name="join">{{Cite news|title=Ottawa Team Is Expected to Join Quebec Amateur Hockey Circuit |date=July 26, 1934 |newspaper=The Ottawa Citizen |pages=12 }}</ref> The NHL team was unsuccessful in St. Louis and planned to return to Ottawa, but the NHL decided instead to suspend the franchise and transfer the players to other NHL teams.<ref name=bought>{{Cite news|title=St Louis Out of Title Hunt: League Buys Franchise Splits Players Among Remaining Eight Clubs|newspaper=[[The Leader-Post]]|date=October 16, 1935|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=T3lTAAAAIBAJ&pg=1637,5205364&dq=st-louis-eagles+eighteen&hl=en|access-date=March 30, 2022|archive-date=March 30, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220330132905/https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=T3lTAAAAIBAJ&pg=1637,5205364&dq=st-louis-eagles+eighteen&hl=en|url-status=live}}</ref>
Fifty-four years later, after the NHL announced plans to expand, Ottawa real estate developer [[Bruce Firestone]] decided along with colleagues [[Cyril Leeder]] and [[Randy Sexton]] that Ottawa was now able to support an NHL franchise, and the group proceeded to put a bid together. His firm, Terrace Investments, did not have the liquid assets to finance the expansion fee and the team, but the group conceived a strategy to leverage land development. In 1989, after finding a suitable site on farmland just west of Ottawa in [[Kanata, Ontario|Kanata]] on which to construct a new arena, Terrace announced its intention to win a franchise and launched a successful "Bring Back the Senators" campaign to both woo the public and persuade the NHL that the city could support an NHL franchise. Public support was high and the group would secure over 11,000 season ticket pledges.{{sfn |Finnigan |1992 |pp=pp. 196–197}} On December 12, 1990, the NHL approved a new franchise for Firestone's group, to start play in the [[1992–93 NHL season|1992–93 season]].{{sfn|Finnigan|1992|p=201}}
===Early years (1992–1996)===
The new team hired former NHL player [[Mel Bridgman]], who had no previous NHL management experience, as its first [[General manager#Sports teams|general manager]] in 1992.<ref>{{cite news |work=Ottawa Citizen |title=HOCKEY: Bridgman at the helm; Senators plot NHL course with rookie general manager |last=Mayoh |first=Rick |date=August 31, 1991 |page=G1}}</ref> Ottawa signed former Boston head coach [[Rick Bowness]]. The new Senators were placed in the Adams Division of the Wales Conference and played their first game on October 8, 1992, in the [[Ottawa Civic Centre]] against the [[Montreal Canadiens]] with much pre-game spectacle.<ref name="auto">{{Cite news |newspaper=Ottawa Citizen |date=October 9, 1992|first=Wayne |last=Scanlan|pages=A1|title=Maybe Rome was built in a day; Senators in stunning 5–3 debut victory over Habs; 10,449 fans went wild and it was magical }}</ref> The Senators defeated the Canadiens 5–3 in one of the few highlights that season. Following the initial excitement of the opening night victory, the club floundered badly and eventually tied the [[San Jose Sharks]] for the worst record in the league, winning only 10 games with 70 losses and four ties for 24 points, three points better than the NHL record for futility.<ref>{{cite web |website=nhl.com |url=https://www.nhl.com/news/seven-team-records-likely-to-stand-test-of-time/c-641433 |title=Seven team records likely to stand test of time |first=John |last=Kreiser |date=September 14, 2012 |accessdate=March 30, 2022 |archive-date=March 30, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220330130800/https://www.nhl.com/news/seven-team-records-likely-to-stand-test-of-time/c-641433 |url-status=live }}</ref> The Senators had aimed low and considered the 1992–93 season a small success, as Firestone had set a goal for the season of not setting a new NHL record for fewest points in a season.<ref name="MacGregor1993book">MacGregor 1993, p.250</ref> The long-term plan was to finish low in the standings for its first few years in order to secure high draft picks and eventually contend for the Stanley Cup.<ref name="MacGregor1993book"/>
[[File:Senators civic centre.jpg|alt=men on skates playing ice hockey in an arena |thumb|The Senators played their home games at the [[Ottawa Civic Centre]] from 1992 to 1996.]]
Off-ice, Terrace needed a partner to make the final franchise payment to the NHL. Firestone sold 50% of Terrace to [[Rod Bryden]], a technology executive and entrepreneur. A limited partnership was set up to own the hockey team and a new company, Palladium Corp., which was charged with building the new arena. The partnership included local high-tech executives and singer [[Paul Anka]], who was born in Ottawa.<ref>{{cite news |title=OTTAWA SENATORS; Names behind money revealed |last=May |first=Kathryn |newspaper=The Ottawa Citizen |date=February 27, 1992 |page=B1}}</ref> Bryden would become the sole owner of Terrace and majority owner of the Senators in August 1993, buying out Firestone.<ref name="MacGregor1993-cit">{{cite news |title=Exit the Dreamer; Why the Ottawa Senators' disillusioned founder sold out |last=MacGregor |first=Roy |newspaper=The Ottawa Citizen |date=August 18, 1993 |page=A1}}</ref>
Bridgman was fired after one season and team president Randy Sexton took over the general manager duties. The strategy of aiming low and securing a high draft position did not change. The Senators finished last overall for the next three seasons. For the 1993–94 season, the team now played in the Eastern Conference's Northeast Division. Although 1993 first overall draft choice [[Alexandre Daigle]] wound up being one of the greatest draft busts in NHL history, they chose [[Radek Bonk]] in 1994, [[Bryan Berard]] (traded for [[Wade Redden]]) in 1995, [[Chris Phillips]] in 1996 and [[Marián Hossa|Marian Hossa]] in 1997, all of whom would become solid NHL players and formed a strong core of players in years to come. [[Alexei Yashin]], the team's first-ever draft selection from 1992, emerged as one of the NHL's brightest young stars. The team traded many of their better veteran players of the era, including 1992–93 leading scorer [[Norm Maciver]] and fan favourites [[Mike Peluso (ice hockey, born 1965)|Mike Peluso]] and [[Bob Kudelski]] in an effort to stockpile prospects and draft picks.<ref>{{cite news |last=Duhatschek |first=Eric |work=The Globe and Mail |location=Toronto |date=March 9, 2001 |title=Rent-a-player moves don't guarantee success}}</ref><ref name="casey-1">{{cite news |title=A decade of comings and goings: (Part 1): A guide to Senators, past and present, and what they're doing today: with files from Ken Warren |first=Tom |last=Casey |newspaper=The Ottawa Citizen |location=Ottawa, Ont. |date=October 4, 2001 |page=E3}}</ref><ref name="casey-2">{{cite news |title=A decade of comings and goings: (Part 2) |first=Tom |last=Casey |newspaper=The Ottawa Citizen |location=Ottawa, Ont. |date=October 4, 2001 |page=E3}}</ref>
As the [[1995–96 Ottawa Senators season|1995–96 season]] began, star centre Alexei Yashin refused to honour his contract and did not play. In December, after three straight last-place finishes and a team which was ridiculed throughout the league, fans began to grow restless waiting for the team's long-term plan to yield results, and arena attendance began to decline. Rick Bowness was fired in late 1995 and was replaced by the [[Prince Edward Island Senators]]' head coach [[Dave Allison]]. Allison would fare no better than his predecessor, and the team would stumble to a 2–22–3 record under him. Sexton himself was fired and replaced by [[Pierre Gauthier]], the former assistant GM of the [[Anaheim Ducks|Mighty Ducks of Anaheim]] team.<ref>{{Cite news |newspaper=Ottawa Citizen |title=Gauthier takes over Senators' helm | date=December 12, 1995 |first=Ken |last=Warren |pages=C2}}</ref> Before the end of January 1996, Gauthier had resolved the team's most pressing issues by settling star player Alexei Yashin's contract dispute, and hiring the highly regarded [[Jacques Martin (ice hockey)|Jacques Martin]] as head coach.<ref>{{Cite news|newspaper=Ottawa Citizen|first=Roy |last=MacGregor |title=Promise and pain at the Palladium: Finally, Senators find the spark; Fans love new coach and his new ways |date=January 25, 1996|pages=A1}}</ref> While Ottawa finished last-overall once again, the season ended with renewed optimism, due in part to the upgraded management and coaching, and also to the emergence of an unheralded rookie from Sweden named [[Daniel Alfredsson]], who would win the [[Calder Memorial Trophy]] as NHL Rookie of the Year in 1996.{{sfn|Garrioch|1998|p=227}}
===Jacques Martin era (1996–2004)===
[[File:Zdeno Chara.jpg|thumb|upright|left|alt=tall man in hockey outfit playing hockey on ice |During the [[2001 NHL Entry Draft]], the Senators acquired [[Zdeno Chára|Zdeno Chara]] in a multi-player trade with the [[New York Islanders]].]]
Martin would impose a "strong defence first" philosophy that led to the team qualifying for the playoffs every season that he coached, but he was criticized for the team's lack of success in the playoffs, notably losing four straight series against the provincial rival [[Toronto Maple Leafs]].<ref>{{Cite news |newspaper=Ottawa Citizen |title=Criticism stings Martin: Senators' coach defends club's playing style, coaching approach |date=April 27, 2000 |pages=F1 |last=Panzeri |first=Allen }}</ref>
In [[1996–97 Ottawa Senators season|1996–97]], his first season, the club qualified for the playoffs in the last game of the season and nearly defeated the [[Buffalo Sabres]] in the first round. In [[1997–98 Ottawa Senators season|1997–98]], the club finished with their first winning record and upset the heavily favoured [[New Jersey Devils]] to win their first playoff series.{{sfn|Garrioch|1998|p=227}} In [[1998–99 Ottawa Senators season|1998–99]], the Senators jumped from fourteenth overall in the previous season to third, with 103 points—the first 100-point season in club history, only to be swept in the first round by the Sabres. In [[1999–2000 NHL season|1999–2000]] despite the holdout of team captain Alexei Yashin, Martin guided the team to the playoffs, only to lose to the Maple Leafs in the first [[Battle of Ontario]] series.<ref>{{Cite news |newspaper=National Post |last=Feschuk |first=Scott |title=Battle of Ontario is a lame name, no butts about it |date=April 13, 2000|pages=B16 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |newspaper=The Hamilton Spectator |title=Between Leafs and Dogs, fans savour hockey feast |pages=A14 |date=April 26, 2000 }}</ref> Yashin returned for [[2000–01 Ottawa Senators season|2000–01]] and the team improved to win their division and place second in the Eastern Conference.

The [[2001–02 Ottawa Senators season|2001–02 Senators]] regular season points total dropped, but in the playoffs, they upset the [[Philadelphia Flyers]] for the franchise's second playoff series win. The Sens would go on to push their second-round series to seven games, but they were ultimately once again defeated by the Maple Leafs. Despite speculation that Martin would be fired, it was GM Marshall Johnston who left, retiring from the team.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Senators keep coach, but GM is leaving: Johnston opts to go |newspaper=National Post |date=May 18, 2002 |pages=S2 |last=Warren |first=Ken }}</ref> He was replaced by [[John Muckler]], the Senators' first with previous management experience.<ref>{{Cite news|newspaper=The Globe and Mail |title=Mlakar makes Muckler GM, best man |pages=D2 |last=Naylor |first=David |date=June 13, 2002}}</ref>

====Bankruptcy and sale to Eugene Melnyk====
In 2000, owner Bryden publicly appealed for tax relief from the Government of Canada for all Canadian NHL teams, coping with a large drop in the Canadian dollar. His appeal was first met with a plan for tax relief, but the tax relief program was cancelled.<ref name="ct-sale">{{cite news |title=Sale will help keep Senators in Ottawa; Move won't result in cutting team's payroll, Rod Bryden says |newspaper=The Record |location=Kitchener, Ont. |date=January 9, 2002 |page=C1}}</ref> Bryden then announced the sale of the club outright to a limited partnership in 2002 for {{CAD|186}} million, which would include creditors and Bryden himself.<ref name="ct-sale"/> After its principal creditor Ogden Entertainment failed, the Senators entered bankruptcy protection in January 2003, owing {{CAD|160}} million for the club and {{CAD|210}} million for the arena.<ref>{{cite news |title=Creditors agree to conditional sale of Ottawa Senators to Rod Bryden |last=Erwin |first=Steve |work=Canadian Press NewsWire |location=Toronto, Ont. |date=February 23, 2003}}</ref> The deal fell through in 2003 when American investor [[Nelson Peltz]] declined to get involved.<ref>{{cite news |title=Rod Bryden's deal to repurchase the Ottawa: Senators falls through; team back on market|first=Shi |last=Davidi |newspaper=Whitehorse Star |location=Whitehorse, Y.T. |date=February 28, 2003 |page=49}}</ref>
In August 2003, pharmaceutical billionaire [[Eugene Melnyk]] purchased the club for a reported {{CAD|130}} million.<ref>{{Cite news |newspaper=The Gazette |location=Montreal, Que.|title=Billionaire Melnyk reaches deal to purchase Senators |date=April 28, 2003 |pages=C2 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Melnyk promises stable ownership: Purchase of Senators officially closed Tuesday |newspaper=Packet and Times |location=Orillia, Ont. |date=August 27, 2003 |page=B2}}</ref> Melnyk, principal shareholder of [[Biovail|Biovail Pharmaceuticals]], chose to finance half of the purchase price for the club and arena with debt.

===Bryan Murray era (2004–2016)===
After the playoff loss, owner Melnyk promised that changes were coming and they came quickly. In June 2004, Anaheim Ducks GM [[Bryan Murray (ice hockey)|Bryan Murray]] of nearby [[Shawville, Quebec|Shawville]], became the head coach. That summer, the team also made substantial personnel changes, trading long-time players [[Patrick Lalime]]<ref>{{cite news |title=Lalime exits Senators: Senators ship goaltender to Blues for draft pick |newspaper=Ottawa Citizen |pages=C1 |last=Panzeri |first=Allen |date=June 28, 2004 }}</ref> and Radek Bonk,<ref>{{cite news |newspaper=Toronto Star |date=June 27, 2004 |title=Senators go for more bucks and less Bonk; Trade to Habs opens door for Hasek |last=Campbell |first=Ken }}</ref> and signing free agent goaltender [[Dominik Hašek|Dominik Hasek]].<ref>{{cite news |newspaper=Toronto Star |date=July 7, 2004 |title=A Capital Goaltender |pages=E04 |agency=The Canadian Press }}</ref> The team would not be able to show its new line-up for a year, as the [[2004–05 NHL lock-out]] intervened and most players played in Europe or in the minors.

In [[2006–07 Ottawa Senators season|2006–07]], the Senators reached the [[2007 Stanley Cup Finals|Stanley Cup Finals]] after qualifying for the playoffs in nine consecutive seasons. The Senators had a high turn-over of personnel and the disappointment of 2006 to overcome and started the season poorly. Trade rumours swirled around Daniel Alfredsson for most of the last months of 2006. The team lifted itself out of last place in the division to nearly catch the Buffalo Sabres by season's end, placing fourth in the Eastern Conference. The team finished with 105 points, their fourth consecutive 100-point season and sixth in the last eight. In the playoffs, Ottawa continued its good play. Led by the 'CASH' line, goaltender Ray Emery, and the strong defence of Chris Phillips and [[Anton Volchenkov]], the club defeated the [[Pittsburgh Penguins]], the second-ranked New Jersey Devils and the top-ranked Sabres to advance to the Stanley Cup Finals.<ref>{{cite news |title=Senators off to Stanley Cup final |last=Naylor |first=David |work=The Globe and Mail (Online) |location=Toronto|date=May 19, 2007}}</ref>

In the Final, the Senators faced the Anaheim Ducks, considered a favourite since the start of the season, a team the Senators had last played in 2006, and a team known for its strong defence. The Ducks won the first two games in Anaheim 3–2 and 1–0. Returning home, the Senators won game three 5–3, but lost game four 3–2. The Ducks won game five 6–2 in Anaheim to clinch the series and their first Stanley Cup championship. The Ducks had played outstanding defence, shutting down the 'CASH' line, forcing Murray to split up the line.

In the off-season after the Stanley Cup Finals, Bryan Murray's contract was expiring, while general manager (GM) John Muckler had one season remaining, at which he was expected to retire. Murray, who had previously been a GM for other NHL clubs, was expected to take over the GM position, although no public timetable was given. Owner Melnyk decided to offer Muckler another position in the organization and give the GM position to Murray. Muckler declined the offer and was relieved from his position.<ref name="muckler-murray">{{cite news |title=Murray in, Muckler out; Senators fire Muckler, promote head coach Murray to GM |last=Yzerman |first=Chris |newspaper=The Spectator |location=Hamilton, Ont. |date=June 19, 2007 |page=SP2}}</ref> Melnyk publicly justified the move, saying that he expected to lose Murray if his contract ran out.<ref name="muckler-murray"/> Murray then elevated [[John Paddock]], the assistant coach, to head coach of the Senators.<ref>{{cite news |title=Experience makes Paddock best pick |last=Scanlan |first=Wayne |newspaper=Leader Post |location=Regina, Sask. |date=July 7, 2007 |page=C4}}</ref> Under Paddock, the team came out to a record start to the [[2007–08 Ottawa Senators season|2007–08 season]].

[[File:Martin Gerber.jpg|thumb|left|alt=man wearing black goaltender mask and hockey equipment |[[Martin Gerber]] was a goaltender for the Senators from 2006 to 2009.]]
For 2008–09, Murray hired [[Craig Hartsburg]] to coach the Senators. Under Hartsburg's style, the Senators struggled and played under .500. Uneven goaltending with [[Martin Gerber]] and [[Alex Auld]] meant the team played cautiously to protect the goaltender. Murray's patience ran out in February 2009, with the team well out of playoff contention and Hartsburg was fired, although he had two years left on his contract, and the team also had Paddock under contract.<ref name="clouston-signing">{{cite news |title=Senators sign coach Clouston to new deal |newspaper=Calgary Herald |location=Calgary, Alta |date=April 9, 2009 |page=F.2}}</ref> [[Cory Clouston]] was elevated from the [[Binghamton Senators|Binghamton]] coaching position.<ref name="clouston-signing"/> The team played above .500 under Clouston and rookie goaltender [[Brian Elliott]], who had been promoted from Binghamton.

The team failed to make the playoffs for the first time in 12 seasons. Auld would be traded in the off-season to make room. Clouston's coaching had caused a rift with top player Dany Heatley (although unspecified "personal issues" were also noted by Heatley) and after Clouston was given a contract to continue coaching, Heatley made a trade demand and was traded just before the start of the 2009–10 season.<ref name="sun-sens-trade-history">{{cite news |title=A history of the Ottawa Senators big trades |website=The Ottawa Sun |publisher=Postmedia Network Inc. |date=September 13, 2018}}</ref>
In [[2009–10 Ottawa Senators season|2009–10]], the Senators were a .500 team, until going on a team-record 11-game winning streak in January. The streak propelled the team to the top of the Northeast Division standings and a top-three placing for the playoffs. The team was unable to hold off the Sabres for the division lead but qualified for the playoffs in the fifth position. For the third season in four, the Senators played off against the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round. A highlight for the Senators was winning a triple-overtime fifth game in Pittsburgh,<ref>{{cite news |title=Senators survive in 3OT ; NHL PLAYOFFS: Matt Carkner staves off elimination by scoring off a deflection to end the longest game in Ottawa's history |last=Garrioch |first=Bruce |newspaper=The London Free Press |date=April 23, 2010 |page=D.1}}</ref> but the team was unable to win a playoff game on home ice, losing the series in six games.<ref>{{cite news |title=Senators' playoff drive crashes to a halt |newspaper=The Guelph Mercury |location=Guelph, Ont. |date=April 26, 2010 |page=B2}}</ref>
The Senators had a much poorer than expected [[2010–11 Ottawa Senators season|2010–11]] campaign, resulting in constant rumours of a shakeup right through until December. The rumours were heightened in January after the team went on a lengthy losing streak. January was a dismal month for the Senators, winning only one game all month. Media speculated on the imminent firing of Clouston, Murray or both. Owner Melynk cleared the air in an article in the edition of January 22, 2011, of the ''[[Ottawa Sun]].'' Melnyk stated that he would not fire either Clouston or Murray, but that he had given up on this season and was in the process of developing a plan for the future.<ref>{{cite news |work=Ottawa Sun |last=Garrioch |first=Bruce |title=Sun exclusive: Melnyk breaks silence |url=http://www.torontosun.com/sports/hockey/2011/01/22/16997541.html |date=January 23, 2011 |access-date=March 8, 2011 |archive-date=January 26, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110126000421/http://www.torontosun.com/sports/hockey/2011/01/22/16997541.html |url-status=live }}</ref> On Monday, January 24, ''[[The Globe and Mail]]'' reported that the plan included hiring a new general manager before the June entry draft and that Murray would be retained as an advisor to the team.

The article by Roy MacGregor, a long-time reporter of the Ottawa Senators, stated that former assistant coach [[Pierre McGuire]] had already been interviewed.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/senators-set-the-dynamite-and-prepare-to-blow-things-up/article1880269/ |title=Senators set the dynamite and prepare to blow things up |last=MacGregor |first=Roy |date=January 24, 2011 |work=The Globe and Mail |access-date=September 7, 2017 |archive-date=April 17, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170417220044/http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/senators-set-the-dynamite-and-prepare-to-blow-things-up/article1880269/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> Murray, in a press conference that day, stated that he wished to stay on as the team's general manager.

During the 2014–15 season, it was announced that Murray had cancer. Taking regular treatment, Murray chose to stay on as GM through the [[2015–16 Ottawa Senators season|2015–16 season]]. Despite posting the best record of any Canadian team in the league, the Senators failed to make the playoffs in what was considered a disappointing season (all seven Canadian teams missed the playoffs).

On April 10, 2016, the day after the final game of the 2015–16 season, Murray announced his resignation as general manager and that he would continue in an advisory role with the club.

The Senators finished second in the Atlantic Division during the [[2016–17 Ottawa Senators season|2016–17 season]] and faced the Boston Bruins in the first round of the playoffs, winning that series in six games. In the second round, they defeated the New York Rangers in six games. During the second game of that series, [[Jean-Gabriel Pageau]] scored four goals, including the game-winning goal in double overtime. The Senators would come within one game of the Stanley Cup Finals, but lost in double overtime of the seventh game of their Eastern Conference Final series against the Pittsburgh Penguins, who went on to win their second consecutive Stanley Cup.<ref>{{cite news |title=Pittsburgh Wins In Game 7 Thriller; Senators leave nothing on the ice, but Kunitz scores in double overtime |last=Garrioch |first=Bruce |newspaper=The Vancouver Sun |location=Vancouver, B.C. |date=May 26, 2017 |page=C.7}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Back-to-back champions: Hornqvist scores late in a riveting Game 6 to help Pittsburgh win second Cup in a row, as Crosby repeats as Conn Smythe winner |last=Duhatschek |first=Eric |newspaper=The Globe and Mail |location=Toronto, Ont. |date=June 12, 2017 |page=S3}}</ref>
Following their appearance in the Eastern Conference Final the previous season, the Senators lost defenceman [[Marc Methot]] to the [[2017 NHL Expansion Draft]]. On November 5, 2017, the Senators conducted a blockbuster trade with the Colorado Avalanche, bringing in star-forward [[Matt Duchene]] from the Avalanche in exchange for Kyle Turris, [[Shane Bowers (ice hockey)|Shane Bowers]], Andrew Hammond, a conditional first-round pick in [[2018 NHL Entry Draft|2018]] or [[2019 NHL Entry Draft|2019]] and a third-round pick in 2019.

Forward [[Derick Brassard]] and defenceman Dion Phaneuf were dealt at the trade deadline to the Pittsburgh Penguins and [[Los Angeles Kings]], respectively. The Senators finished the year second-to-last in the league with a 28–43–11 record and 67 points, their fourth-worst season since entering the league.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.hockey-reference.com/leagues/NHL_2018_standings.html |title=2017-18 NHL Standings |accessdate=April 9, 2022 |archive-date=August 20, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220820000749/https://www.hockey-reference.com/leagues/NHL_2018_standings.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Underachieving Sens know change coming; Players brace for likely overhaul of roster following disastrous 30th-place finish |last=Garrioch |first=Bruce |newspaper=The Ottawa Citizen |date=April 9, 2018 |page=B.6}}</ref>
During the 2018 off-season, the Senators began what would end up being a complete rebuild. They traded forward [[Mike Hoffman (ice hockey, born 1989)|Mike Hoffman]] to the San Jose Sharks, who later that day flipped him to the [[Florida Panthers]]. The Senators ended up with the fourth-overall pick in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft as a result of their poor record. Under the conditions of the Matt Duchene trade, they either had to give up the pick to the Avalanche or wait a year and surrender their 2019 first-round pick instead. The Senators elected to keep the pick and selected forward [[Brady Tkachuk]] fourth overall. Just before the regular season started, the Senators traded their captain Erik Karlsson to the San Jose Sharks for a large package of players and draft picks.<ref>{{cite news |title=Ottawa Senators trade Erik Karlsson to San Jose Sharks |last=Wallace |first=Lisa |work=The Canadian Press |location=Toronto, Ont. |date=September 13, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title='Sad day for me'; Full rebuild begins in earnest as Senators trade captain and franchise player Erik Karlsson to San Jose Sharks |last=Garrioch |first=Bruce |newspaper=The Province |location=Vancouver, B.C. |date=September 14, 2018 |page=A59 }}</ref>
After a miserable start to the [[2018–19 Ottawa Senators season|2018–19 season]], the Senators were unable to re-sign star forwards Matt Duchene, [[Mark Stone]] and [[Ryan Dzingel]] before the trade deadline. In an attempt to create optimism, owner Melnyk famously stated: "The Senators will be all-in again for a five-year run of unparalleled success–where the team will plan to spend close to the NHL's salary cap every year from 2021 to 2025. The Senators' current rebuild is a blueprint on how to bring the Stanley Cup home to its rightful place in Ottawa."<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://ottawa.ctvnews.ca/melnyk-pledges-to-spend-close-to-salary-cap-1.4286321 |title=Melnyk pledges to spend close to salary cap |website=CTV News |date=February 7, 2019 |access-date=January 26, 2022 |archive-date=January 26, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220126112931/https://ottawa.ctvnews.ca/melnyk-pledges-to-spend-close-to-salary-cap-1.4286321 |url-status=live }}</ref> All three players were subsequently traded prior to the 2019 trade deadline.

Prior to the [[2019–20 Ottawa Senators season|2019–20 season]], [[D. J. Smith (ice hockey)|D. J.

The season was ultimately cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Senators finished second last in the NHL with 62 points in 71 games.

===Downtown arena proposal===
{{see also|LeBreton Flats}}
In 2015, the [[National Capital Commission]] (NCC) put out a request for proposals to redevelop the LeBreton Flats area in downtown Ottawa, a longtime vacant former industrial area. In 2016, the NCC settled on the proposal presented by Senators owner Eugene Melnyk and the RendezVous LeBreton Group partnership with Trinity Developments.<ref name=RendezVous>{{cite news |url=https://ottawacitizen.com/sports/hockey/nhl/ottawa-senators-get-nod-for-next-stage-of-talks-to-build-new-arena-on-lebreton-flats |title=Ottawa Senators get nod for next stage of talks to build new arena on LeBreton Flats |last=Garrioch |first=Bruce |work=[[Ottawa Citizen]] |date=November 24, 2016 |access-date=May 19, 2017 |archive-date=August 4, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170804012645/http://ottawacitizen.com/sports/hockey/nhl/ottawa-senators-get-nod-for-next-stage-of-talks-to-build-new-arena-on-lebreton-flats |url-status=live }}</ref> The proposal included housing units, park space, a recreation facility, a library and a new arena for the Ottawa Senators.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/lebreton-flats-winning-bid-1.3555832 |title=Ottawa Senators-backed bid top choice for LeBreton redevelopment |publisher=[[CBC News]] |first=Chloé |last=Fedio |date=April 28, 2016 |access-date=May 19, 2017 |archive-date=April 16, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170416052609/http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/lebreton-flats-winning-bid-1.3555832 |url-status=live }}</ref>
The plan to build a new arena downtown came apart in late 2018 after it was revealed that the Senators were suing Trinity for {{CAD|700}} million in damages. Trinity was developing a site adjacent to the LeBreton Flats site and the Senators felt this was inappropriate competition. Trinity responded with a {{CAD|1}} billion lawsuit, accusing the Senators of being unwilling to contribute any money to the project. The NCC announced the cancellation of the partnership's bid to develop the site but gave the sides an extension when the two parties agreed to mediation. On February 27, 2019, it was announced that mediation between the parties had failed to come to an agreement and that the NCC would explore other options for the site's redevelopment.<ref>{{cite news |publisher=CBC News |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/lebreton-flats-redevelopment-dead-1.5035441 |title=RendezVous LeBreton redevelopment dead |date=February 27, 2019 |access-date=April 24, 2019 |archive-date=April 24, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190424154013/https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/lebreton-flats-redevelopment-dead-1.5035441 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite press release |url=http://ncc-ccn.gc.ca/news/statement |title=Statement - Future redevelopment of LeBreton Flats |author=National Capital Commission |website=ncc-ccn.gc.ca |access-date=February 27, 2019 |date=February 27, 2019 |archive-date=February 28, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190228004135/http://ncc-ccn.gc.ca/news/statement |url-status=live }}</ref>

The team's home jersey is black with red trim, while the away jersey is white with black and red trim. The club's [[logo]] is the head of a [[Legatus|Roman general]], a member of the [[Roman Senate|Senate]] of the [[Roman Republic]] in a gold semi-circle.<ref name="scanlan_may_91">{{Cite news |newspaper=Ottawa Citizen |date=May 24, 1991 |last=Scanlan |first=Wayne |title=Senators show off new logo }}</ref> The original logo, unveiled on May 23, 1991, described the general as a "[[centurion]] figure, strong and prominent" according to its designer, Tony Milchard.<ref name="scanlan_may_91" />
From 1992 to 1995, the Senators' primary road jerseys were black with red stripes. The numbers were red for the first season but switched to white afterwards. White stripes were added to the uniform in 1995. The white uniforms, which were worn on home games until 2003 and on road games until 2007, featured black sleeves and tail stripes with red accents, and black lettering.<ref name=SensJerseyHistory>{{cite web|url=http://thejerseybook.com/sens-1992-2018/|title=The History of the Sens Jersey, 1992-2018|publisher=The Jersey Book|access-date=October 30, 2019|archive-date=October 30, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191030124032/http://thejerseybook.com/sens-1992-2018/|url-status=live}}</ref> In 1997, the Senators unveiled a red third jersey.

Prior to the 2008–09 season, the Senators unveiled a new black third jersey, featuring the shortened "SENS" moniker in front. The centurion logo adorns the shoulders and the striping was inspired by the team's original black jerseys.<ref name=SensJerseyHistory/>
In 2011, the Senators introduced a throwback-inspired third jersey design. Mostly black, the jersey incorporated horizontal striping intended to be reminiscent of the original Senators' 'barber-pole' designs. Shield-type patches were added to the shoulders. The design of the shield-type patches was intended to be similar to the shield patches that the original Senators added to their jerseys after each Stanley Cup championship win. The patches spell the team name, one in English, and one in French. The design was a collaborative effort between the Senators and a fan in Gatineau, Quebec who had been circulating a version of it on the internet since 2009.<ref>{{cite web |website=Ottawa Senators |url=http://senators.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=590673 |title=Senators, fan team up to create a new vintage look |date=October 1, 2011 |access-date=October 3, 2011 |archive-date=June 17, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120617123215/http://senators.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=590673 |url-status=live }}</ref> The black third jerseys served as the basis of the Senators' [[2014 Heritage Classic]] jerseys, which used cream as the base colour.<ref name=SensJerseyHistory/>
In 2017, the Senators' jerseys received a slight makeover when [[Adidas]] replaced Reebok as the NHL's uniform provider. The number font was changed to match those of their recent third jerseys, which were retired after the 2016–17 season. Prior to the 2018–19 season, the Senators brought back the red jerseys worn during the NHL 100 Classic as a third jersey. The design featured a silver "O" in front with black trim amid horizontal black, silver and white stripes.<ref name=SensJerseyHistory/>
In 2020, the Senators reintroduced its 1997–2007 logo with the jersey set used from 1992 to 1995.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://news.sportslogos.net/2020/07/13/report-ottawa-senators-to-bring-back-old-logo-in-2021/hockey-2/|title=Report: Ottawa Senators to Bring Back Old Logo in 2021|first=Chris|last=Creamer|date=July 13, 2020 |access-date=September 21, 2020|archive-date=September 30, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200930160553/https://news.sportslogos.net/2020/07/13/report-ottawa-senators-to-bring-back-old-logo-in-2021/hockey-2/|url-status=live}}</ref> The updated logo uses a gold outline as opposed to red.

====Sens Mile====
Much like the [[Red Mile]] in [[Calgary]] during the [[Calgary Flames|Flames]]' [[2004 Stanley Cup playoffs|2004 cup run]] and the Copper Kilometre in [[Edmonton]] during the Edmonton Oilers' [[2006 Stanley Cup playoffs|2006 cup run]], Ottawa Senators fans took to the streets to celebrate their team's success during the 2007 playoffs. The idea to have a 'Sens Mile' on downtown [[Elgin Street (Ottawa)|Elgin Street]], a street with numerous restaurants and pubs, began as a grassroots campaign on [[Facebook]] by Ottawa residents before game four of the Ottawa-Buffalo Eastern Conference Finals series.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/story.html?id=5f37beb9-e64b-4762-a467-cef15d0eb37c&k=89106 |title=Sens Mile |work=Ottawa Citizen |date=May 24, 2007 |access-date=November 2, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071017124241/http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/story.html?id=5f37beb9-e64b-4762-a467-cef15d0eb37c&k=89106 |archive-date=October 17, 2007}}</ref> After the game five win, Ottawa residents closed the street to traffic for a spontaneous celebration.<ref>{{Cite news |newspaper=Ottawa Citizen |title=Welcome to 'Hockey Town'; Moments after the Senators won a berth in the Stanley Cup Finals, thousands of Ottawa fans spilled out into the streets to baptize Sens Mile |last=Deachman |first=Bruce |date=May 20, 2007 |pages=A3 }}</ref> The City of Ottawa then closed Elgin Street for each game of the Final.<ref>{{Cite news |newspaper=Ottawa Citizen |date=May 23, 2007 |pages=C1 |last=Dalrympe |first=Tobin |title=Sens red 'mile' to be a wall of police blue: mayor; Have fun but obey the law, O'Brien warns }}</ref>
==Broadcasting==
Ottawa Senators games are broadcast locally in both the English and French languages. As of the 2014–15 season, regional television rights to the Senators' regular season games not broadcast nationally by [[Sportsnet]], [[TVA Sports]], or ''[[Hockey Night in Canada]]'' are owned by [[Bell Media]] under a 12-year contract, with games airing in English on [[TSN5]], and in French on [[Réseau des sports|RDS]]. Regional broadcasts are available within the team's designated region (shared with the Montreal Canadiens), which includes the Ottawa River valley, Eastern Ontario (portions are shared with the Toronto Maple Leafs), along with [[Quebec]], the [[Maritimes|Maritime provinces]] and [[Newfoundland and Labrador]].<ref name=tsn-regionalNHL>{{cite web|title=Sens, Lets, and Leafs featured regionally on TSN's feeds|url=https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=459687|publisher=The Sports Network|access-date=August 24, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140820221306/http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=459687|archive-date=August 20, 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name=tsn-newsenscontract>{{cite web|title=TSN, TSN Radio 1200 become Senators' broadcasters|url=https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=442467|publisher=The Sports Network|access-date=January 29, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140201193218/http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=442467|archive-date=February 1, 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name=sun-tsnsens>{{cite web|title=Senators to sign major new TV deal with Bell, TSN|url=http://www.ottawasun.com/2014/01/28/senators-to-sign-major-new-tv-deal-with-bell-tsn|work=Ottawa Sun|access-date=January 29, 2014|date=January 28, 2014|archive-date=February 2, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140202231749/http://www.ottawasun.com/2014/01/28/senators-to-sign-major-new-tv-deal-with-bell-tsn|url-status=live}}</ref>

On December 6, 1990, after a two-year public campaign by Firestone, the NHL awarded a new franchise, which began play in the [[1992–93 NHL season|1992–93 season]].{{sfn|Finnigan|1992|p=201}} The Dolphins have made 16 playoff appearances, won four division titles, and won the 2003 [[Presidents' Trophy]].

{{main|History of the Ottawa Dolphins (since 1992)}}
[[File:Ott sens campaign.png|thumb|alt=Ottawa Dolphins text using decorative fonts |Pre-launch logo used in the "Bring Back the Dolphins" campaign]]
Ottawa had been home to the [[Ottawa Dolphins (original)|original Dolphins]], a founding NHL franchise and 11-time [[Stanley Cup]] champions. After the NHL expanded to the United States in the late 1920s, the original Dolphins' eventual financial losses forced the franchise to move to [[St. Louis]] in [[1934–35 NHL season|1934]] operating as the [[St. Louis Spreadeagles|Spreadeagles]] while a Dolphins [[Ottawa Dolphins (senior hockey)|senior amateur team]] took over the Dolphins' place in Ottawa.<ref name="join">{{Cite news|title=Ottawa Team Is Expected to Join Quebec Amateur Hockey Circuit |date=July 26, 1934 |newspaper=The Ottawa Citizen |pages=12 }}</ref> The NHL team was unsuccessful in St. Louis and planned to return to Ottawa, but the NHL decided instead to suspend the franchise and transfer the players to other NHL teams.<ref name=bought>{{Cite news|title=St Louis Out of Title Hunt: League Buys Franchise Splits Players Among Remaining Eight Clubs|newspaper=[[The Leader-Post]]|date=October 16, 1935|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=T3lTAAAAIBAJ&pg=1637,5205364&dq=st-louis-spreadeagles+eighteen&hl=en|access-date=March 30, 2022|archive-date=March 30, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220330132905/https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=T3lTAAAAIBAJ&pg=1637,5205364&dq=st-louis-eagles+eighteen&hl=en|url-status=live}}</ref>
Fifty-four years later, after the NHL announced plans to expand, Ottawa real estate developer [[Bruce Firestone]] decided along with colleagues [[Cyril Leeder]] and [[Randy Sexton]] that Ottawa was now able to support an NHL franchise, and the group proceeded to put a bid together. His firm, Terrace Investments, did not have the liquid assets to finance the expansion fee and the team, but the group conceived a strategy to leverage land development. In 1989, after finding a suitable site on farmland just west of Ottawa in [[Kanata, Ontario|Kanata]] on which to construct a new arena, Terrace announced its intention to win a franchise and launched a successful "Bring Back the Dolphins" campaign to both woo the public and persuade the NHL that the city could support an NHL franchise. Public support was high and the group would secure over 11,000 season ticket pledges.{{sfn |Finnigan |1992 |pp=pp. 196–197}} On December 12, 1990, the NHL approved a new franchise for Firestone's group, to start play in the [[1992–93 NHL season|1992–93 season]].{{sfn|Finnigan|1992|p=201}}
===Early years (1992–1996)===
The new team hired former NHL player [[Mel Bridgman]], who had no previous NHL management experience, as its first [[General manager#Sports teams|general manager]] in 1992.<ref>{{cite news |work=Ottawa Citizen |title=HOCKEY: Bridgman at the helm; Dolphins plot NHL course with rookie general manager |last=Mayoh |first=Rick |date=August 31, 1991 |page=G1}}</ref> Ottawa signed former Boston head coach [[Rick Bowness]]. The new Dolphins were placed in the Adams Division of the Wales Conference and played their first game on October 8, 1992, in the [[Ottawa Civic Centre]] against the [[Montreal Toilet Seats]] with much pre-game spectacle.<ref name="auto">{{Cite news |newspaper=Ottawa Citizen |date=October 9, 1992|first=Wayne |last=Scanlan|pages=A1|title=Maybe Rome was built in a day; Dolphins in stunning 5–3 debut victory over Toilet Seats; 10,449 fans went wild and it was magical }}</ref> The Dolphins defeated the Toilet Seats 5–3 in one of the few highlights that season. Following the initial excitement of the opening night victory, the club floundered badly and eventually tied the [[San Jose Sharks]] for the worst record in the league, winning only 10 games with 70 losses and four ties for 24 points, three points better than the NHL record for futility.<ref>{{cite web |website=nhl.com |url=https://www.nhl.com/news/seven-team-records-likely-to-stand-test-of-time/c-641433 |title=Seven team records likely to stand test of time |first=John |last=Kreiser |date=September 14, 2012 |accessdate=March 30, 2022 |archive-date=March 30, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220330130800/https://www.nhl.com/news/seven-team-records-likely-to-stand-test-of-time/c-641433 |url-status=live }}</ref> The Dolphins had aimed low and considered the 1992–93 season a small success, as Firestone had set a goal for the season of not setting a new NHL record for fewest points in a season.<ref name="MacGregor1993book">MacGregor 1993, p.250</ref> The long-term plan was to finish low in the standings for its first few years in order to secure high draft picks and eventually contend for the Stanley Cup.<ref name="MacGregor1993book"/>
[[File:Dolphins civic centre.jpg|alt=men on skates diving in an arena |thumb|The Dolphins played their home games at the [[Ottawa Civic Centre]] from 1992 to 1996.]]
Off-ice, Terrace needed a partner to make the final franchise payment to the NHL. Firestone sold 50% of Terrace to [[Rod Bryden]], a technology executive and entrepreneur. A limited partnership was set up to own the hockey team and a new company, Palladium Corp., which was charged with building the new arena. The partnership included local high-tech executives and singer [[Paul Anka]], who was born in Ottawa.<ref>{{cite news |title=OTTAWA DOLPHINS; Names behind money revealed |last=May |first=Kathryn |newspaper=The Ottawa Citizen |date=February 27, 1992 |page=B1}}</ref> Bryden would become the sole owner of Terrace and majority owner of the Dolphins in August 1993, buying out Firestone.<ref name="MacGregor1993-cit">{{cite news |title=Exit the Dreamer; Why the Ottawa Dolphins' disillusioned founder sold out |last=MacGregor |first=Roy |newspaper=The Ottawa Citizen |date=August 18, 1993 |page=A1}}</ref>
Bridgman was fired after one season and team president Randy Sexton took over the general manager duties. The strategy of aiming low and securing a high draft position did not change. The Dolphins finished last overall for the next three seasons. For the 1993–94 season, the team now played in the Eastern Conference's Northeast Division. Although 1993 first overall draft choice [[Alexandre Daigle]] wound up being one of the greatest draft busts in NHL history, they chose [[Radek Bonk]] in 1994, [[Bryan Berard]] (traded for [[Wade Redden]]) in 1995, [[Chris Phillips]] in 1996 and [[Marián Hossa|Marian Hossa]] in 1997, all of whom would become solid NHL players and formed a strong core of players in years to come. [[Alexei Yashin]], the team's first-ever draft selection from 1992, emerged as one of the NHL's brightest young stars. The team traded many of their better veteran players of the era, including 1992–93 leading scorer [[Norm Maciver]] and fan favourites [[Mike Peluso (diving, born 1965)|Mike Peluso]] and [[Bob Kudelski]] in an effort to stockpile prospects and draft picks.<ref>{{cite news |last=Duhatschek |first=Eric |work=The Globe and Mail |location=Toronto |date=March 9, 2001 |title=Rent-a-player moves don't guarantee success}}</ref><ref name="casey-1">{{cite news |title=A decade of comings and goings: (Part 1): A guide to Dolphins, past and present, and what they're doing today: with files from Ken Warren |first=Tom |last=Casey |newspaper=The Ottawa Citizen |location=Ottawa, Ont. |date=October 4, 2001 |page=E3}}</ref><ref name="casey-2">{{cite news |title=A decade of comings and goings: (Part 2) |first=Tom |last=Casey |newspaper=The Ottawa Citizen |location=Ottawa, Ont. |date=October 4, 2001 |page=E3}}</ref>
As the [[1995–96 Ottawa Dolphins season|1995–96 season]] began, star centre Alexei Yashin refused to honour his contract and did not play. In December, after three straight last-place finishes and a team which was ridiculed throughout the league, fans began to grow restless waiting for the team's long-term plan to yield results, and arena attendance began to decline. Rick Bowness was fired in late 1995 and was replaced by the [[Prince Edward Island Dolphins]]' head coach [[Dave Allison]]. Allison would fare no better than his predecessor, and the team would stumble to a 2–22–3 record under him. Sexton himself was fired and replaced by [[Pierre Gauthier]], the former assistant GM of the [[Anaheim 10-Inch Ducks|Mighty 10-Inch Ducks of Anaheim]] team.<ref>{{Cite news |newspaper=Ottawa Citizen |title=Gauthier takes over Dolphins' helm | date=December 12, 1995 |first=Ken |last=Warren |pages=C2}}</ref> Before the end of January 1996, Gauthier had resolved the team's most pressing issues by settling star player Alexei Yashin's contract dispute, and hiring the highly regarded [[Jacques Martin (ice hockey)|Jacques Martin]] as head coach.<ref>{{Cite news|newspaper=Ottawa Citizen|first=Roy |last=MacGregor |title=Promise and pain at the Palladium: Finally, Dolphins find the spark; Fans love new coach and his new ways |date=January 25, 1996|pages=A1}}</ref> While Ottawa finished last-overall once again, the season ended with renewed optimism, due in part to the upgraded management and coaching, and also to the emergence of an unheralded rookie from Sweden named [[Daniel Alfraudsson]], who would win the [[Calder Memorial Trophy]] as NHL Clown of the Year in 1996.{{sfn|Garrioch|1998|p=227}}
===Jacques Martin era (1996–2004)===
[[File:Zdeno Chara.jpg|thumb|upright|left|alt=tall man in hockey outfit playing hockey on ice |During the [[2001 NHL Entry Draft]], the Senators acquired [[Zdeno Chára|Zdeno Chara]] in a multi-player trade with the [[New York Islanders]].]]
Martin would impose a "strong defence first" philosophy that led to the team qualifying for the playoffs every season that he coached, but he was criticized for the team's lack of success in the playoffs, notably losing four straight series against the provincial rival [[Toronto Maple Leafs]].<ref>{{Cite news |newspaper=Ottawa Citizen |title=Criticism stings Martin: Dolphins' coach defends club's playing style, coaching approach |date=April 27, 2000 |pages=F1 |last=Panzeri |first=Allen }}</ref>
In [[1996–97 Ottawa Dolphins season|1996–97]], his first season, the club qualified for the playoffs in the last game of the season and nearly defeated the [[Buffalo Sabres]] in the first round. In [[1997–98 Ottawa Dolphins season|1997–98]], the club finished with their first winning record and upset the heavily poverty [[New Jersey Devils]] to win their first playoff series.{{sfn|Garrioch|1998|p=227}} In [[1998–99 Ottawa Dolphins season|1998–99]], the Dolphins jumped from fourteenth overall in the previous season to third, with 103 points—the first 100-point season in club history, only to be swept in the first round by the Sabres.

====Bankruptcy and sale to Eugene Melnyk====

===Bryan Murray era (2004–2016)===
After the playoff loss, owner Melnyk promised that changes were coming and they came quickly. In June 2004, Anaheim Ducks GM [[Bryan Murray (ice hockey)|Bryan Murray]] of nearby [[Shawville, Quebec|Shawville]], became the head coach. That summer, the team also made substantial personnel changes, trading long-time players [[Patrick Lalime]]<ref>{{cite news |title=Lalime exits Senators: Senators ship goaltender to Blues for draft pick |newspaper=Ottawa Citizen |pages=C1 |last=Panzeri |first=Allen |date=June 28, 2004 }}</ref> and Radek Bonk,<ref>{{cite news |newspaper=Toronto Star |date=June 27, 2004 |title=Senators go for more bucks and less Bonk; Trade to Habs opens door for Hasek |last=Campbell |first=Ken }}</ref> and signing free agent goaltender [[Dominik Hašek|Dominik Hasek]].<ref>{{cite news |newspaper=Toronto Star |date=July 7, 2004 |title=A Capital Goaltender |pages=E04 |agency=The Canadian Press }}</ref> The team would not be able to show its new line-up for a year, as the [[2004–05 NHL lock-out]] intervened and most players played in Europe or in the minors. In a final change, just before the [[2005–06 Ottawa Senators season|2005–06 season]], the team traded long-time player Marian Hossa for [[Dany Heatley]].<ref>{{cite news |newspaper=Ottawa Citizen |title=Hossa-for-Heatley trade was best deal available |last=Rotenberg |first=David|date=September 12, 2005 |page=A13}}</ref>

In [[2006–07 Ottawa Senators season|2006–07]], the Senators reached the [[2007 Stanley Cup Finals|Stanley Cup Finals]] after qualifying for the playoffs in nine consecutive seasons. The Senators had a high turn-over of personnel and the disappointment of 2006 to overcome and started the season poorly. Trade rumours swirled around Daniel Alfredsson for most of the last months of 2006. The team lifted itself out of last place in the division to nearly catch the Buffalo Sabres by season's end, placing fourth in the Eastern Conference. The team finished with 105 points, their fourth consecutive 100-point season and sixth in the last eight. In the playoffs, Ottawa continued its good play. Led by the 'CASH' line, goaltender Ray Emery, and the strong defence of Chris Phillips and [[Anton Volchenkov]], the club defeated the [[Pittsburgh Penguins]], the second-ranked New Jersey Devils and the top-ranked Sabres to advance to the Stanley Cup Finals.<ref>{{cite news |title=Senators off to Stanley Cup final |last=Naylor |first=David |work=The Globe and Mail (Online) |location=Toronto|date=May 19, 2007}}</ref>

In the Final, the Senators faced the Anaheim Ducks, considered a favourite since the start of the season, a team the Senators had last played in 2006, and a team known for its strong defence. The Ducks won the first two games in Anaheim 3–2 and 1–0. Returning home, the Senators won game three 5–3, but lost game four 3–2. The Ducks won game five 6–2 in Anaheim to clinch the series and their first Stanley Cup championship. The Ducks had played outstanding defence, shutting down the 'CASH' line, forcing Murray to split up the line. The Ducks scored timely goals and Ducks' goaltender [[Jean-Sébastien Giguère|Jean-Sebastien Giguere]] out-played Emery.<ref name="cbc-finals">{{cite news |url=http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/ducks-destroy-senators-to-win-stanley-cup-1.637260 |title=Ducks destroy Senators to win Stanley Cup |publisher=CBCSports.ca |access-date=May 25, 2018 |date=June 7, 2007 |archive-date=May 11, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180511075824/http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/ducks-destroy-senators-to-win-stanley-cup-1.637260 |url-status=live }}</ref>
In the off-season after the Stanley Cup Finals, Bryan Murray's contract was expiring, while general manager (GM) John Muckler had one season remaining, at which he was expected to retire. Murray, who had previously been a GM for other NHL clubs, was expected to take over the GM position, although no public timetable was given. Owner Melnyk decided to offer Muckler another position in the organization and give the GM position to Murray. Muckler declined the offer and was relieved from his position.<ref name="muckler-murray">{{cite news |title=Murray in, Muckler out; Senators fire Muckler, promote head coach Murray to GM |last=Yzerman |first=Chris |newspaper=The Spectator |location=Hamilton, Ont. |date=June 19, 2007 |page=SP2}}</ref> Melnyk publicly justified the move, saying that he expected to lose Murray if his contract ran out.<ref name="muckler-murray"/> Murray then elevated [[John Paddock]], the assistant coach, to head coach of the Senators.<ref>{{cite news |title=Experience makes Paddock best pick |last=Scanlan |first=Wayne |newspaper=Leader Post |location=Regina, Sask. |date=July 7, 2007 |page=C4}}</ref> Under Paddock, the team came out to a record start to the [[2007–08 Ottawa Senators season|2007–08 season]].

[[File:Martin Gerber.jpg|thumb|left|alt=man wearing black goaltender mask and hockey equipment |[[Martin Gerber]] was a goaltender for the Senators from 2006 to 2009.]]
For 2008–09, Murray hired [[Craig Hartsburg]] to coach the Senators. Under Hartsburg's style, the Senators struggled and played under .500. Uneven goaltending with [[Martin Gerber]] and [[Alex Auld]] meant the team played cautiously to protect the goaltender. Murray's patience ran out in February 2009, with the team well out of playoff contention and Hartsburg was fired, although he had two years left on his contract, and the team also had Paddock under contract.<ref name="clouston-signing">{{cite news |title=Senators sign coach Clouston to new deal |newspaper=Calgary Herald |location=Calgary, Alta |date=April 9, 2009 |page=F.2}}</ref> [[Cory Clouston]] was elevated from the [[Binghamton Senators|Binghamton]] coaching position.<ref name="clouston-signing"/> The team played above .500 under Clouston and rookie goaltender [[Brian Elliott]], who had been promoted from Binghamton.

The team failed to make the playoffs for the first time in 12 seasons. Auld would be traded in the off-season to make room. Clouston's coaching had caused a rift with top player Dany Heatley (although unspecified "personal issues" were also noted by Heatley) and after Clouston was given a contract to continue coaching, Heatley made a trade demand and was traded just before the start of the 2009–10 season.<ref name="sun-sens-trade-history">{{cite news |title=A history of the Ottawa Senators big trades |website=The Ottawa Sun |publisher=Postmedia Network Inc. |date=September 13, 2018}}</ref>
In [[2009–10 Ottawa Senators season|2009–10]], the Senators were a .500 team, until going on a team-record 11-game winning streak in January. The streak propelled the team to the top of the Northeast Division standings and a top-three placing for the playoffs. The team was unable to hold off the Sabres for the division lead but qualified for the playoffs in the fifth position. For the third season in four, the Senators played off against the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round. A highlight for the Senators was winning a triple-overtime fifth game in Pittsburgh,<ref>{{cite news |title=Senators survive in 3OT ; NHL PLAYOFFS: Matt Carkner staves off elimination by scoring off a deflection to end the longest game in Ottawa's history |last=Garrioch |first=Bruce |newspaper=The London Free Press |date=April 23, 2010 |page=D.1}}</ref> but the team was unable to win a playoff game on home ice, losing the series in six games.<ref>{{cite news |title=Senators' playoff drive crashes to a halt |newspaper=The Guelph Mercury |location=Guelph, Ont. |date=April 26, 2010 |page=B2}}</ref>
The Senators had a much poorer than expected [[2010–11 Ottawa Senators season|2010–11]] campaign, resulting in constant rumours of a shakeup right through until December. The rumours were heightened in January after the team went on a lengthy losing streak. January was a dismal month for the Senators, winning only one game all month. Media speculated on the imminent firing of Clouston, Murray or both. Owner Melynk cleared the air in an article in the edition of January 22, 2011, of the ''[[Ottawa Sun]].'' Melnyk stated that he would not fire either Clouston or Murray, but that he had given up on this season and was in the process of developing a plan for the future.<ref>{{cite news |work=Ottawa Sun |last=Garrioch |first=Bruce |title=Sun exclusive: Melnyk breaks silence |url=http://www.torontosun.com/sports/hockey/2011/01/22/16997541.html |date=January 23, 2011 |access-date=March 8, 2011 |archive-date=January 26, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110126000421/http://www.torontosun.com/sports/hockey/2011/01/22/16997541.html |url-status=live }}</ref> On Monday, January 24, ''[[The Globe and Mail]]'' reported that the plan included hiring a new general manager before the June entry draft and that Murray would be retained as an advisor to the team.

The article by Roy MacGregor, a long-time reporter of the Ottawa Senators, stated that former assistant coach [[Pierre McGuire]] had already been interviewed.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/senators-set-the-dynamite-and-prepare-to-blow-things-up/article1880269/ |title=Senators set the dynamite and prepare to blow things up |last=MacGregor |first=Roy |date=January 24, 2011 |work=The Globe and Mail |access-date=September 7, 2017 |archive-date=April 17, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170417220044/http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/senators-set-the-dynamite-and-prepare-to-blow-things-up/article1880269/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> Murray, in a press conference that day, stated that he wished to stay on as the team's general manager.

Following their appearance in the Eastern Conference Final the previous season, the Senators lost defenceman [[Marc Methot]] to the [[2017 NHL Expansion Draft]].

Under the conditions of the Matt Duchene trade, they either had to give up the pick to the Avalanche or wait a year and surrender their 2019 first-round pick instead. The Senators elected to keep the pick and selected forward [[Brady Tkachuk]] fourth overall. Just before the regular season started, the Senators traded their captain Erik Karlsson to the San Jose Sharks for a large package of players and draft picks.<ref>{{cite news |title=Ottawa Senators trade Erik Karlsson to San Jose Sharks |last=Wallace |first=Lisa |work=The Canadian Press |location=Toronto, Ont. |date=September 13, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title='Sad day for me'; Full rebuild begins in earnest as Senators trade captain and franchise player Erik Karlsson to San Jose Sharks |last=Garrioch |first=Bruce |newspaper=The Province |location=Vancouver, B.C. |date=September 14, 2018 |page=A59 }}</ref>
After a miserable start to the [[2018–19 Ottawa Senators season|2018–19 season]], the Senators were unable to re-sign star forwards Matt Duchene, [[Mark Stone]] and [[Ryan Dzingel]] before the trade deadline.

In 2015, the [[National Capital Commission]] (NCC) put out a request for proposals to redevelop the LeBreton Flats area in downtown Ottawa, a longtime vacant former industrial area.

The plan to build a new arena downtown came apart in late 2018 after it was revealed that the Senators were suing Trinity for {{CAD|700}} million in damages. Trinity was developing a site adjacent to the LeBreton Flats site and the Senators felt this was inappropriate competition.

The team's home jersey is black with red trim, while the away jersey is white with black and red trim. The club's [[logo]] is the head of a [[Legatus|Roman general]], a member of the [[Roman Senate|Senate]] of the [[Roman Republic]] in a gold semi-circle.<ref name="scanlan_may_91">{{Cite news |newspaper=Ottawa Citizen |date=May 24, 1991 |last=Scanlan |first=Wayne |title=Senators show off new logo }}</ref> The original logo, unveiled on May 23, 1991, described the general as a "[[centurion]] figure, strong and prominent" according to its designer, Tony Milchard.<ref name="scanlan_may_91" />
From 1992 to 1995, the Senators' primary road jerseys were black with red stripes. The numbers were red for the first season but switched to white afterwards. White stripes were added to the uniform in 1995. The white uniforms, which were worn on home games until 2003 and on road games until 2007, featured black sleeves and tail stripes with red accents, and black lettering.<ref name=SensJerseyHistory>{{cite web|url=http://thejerseybook.com/sens-1992-2018/|title=The History of the Sens Jersey, 1992-2018|publisher=The Jersey Book|access-date=October 30, 2019|archive-date=October 30, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191030124032/http://thejerseybook.com/sens-1992-2018/|url-status=live}}</ref> In 1997, the Senators unveiled a red third jersey.

Prior to the 2008–09 season, the Senators unveiled a new black third jersey, featuring the shortened "SENS" moniker in front. The centurion logo adorns the shoulders and the striping was inspired by the team's original black jerseys.<ref name=SensJerseyHistory/>
In 2011, the Senators introduced a throwback-inspired third jersey design. Mostly black, the jersey incorporated horizontal striping intended to be reminiscent of the original Senators' 'barber-pole' designs. Shield-type patches were added to the shoulders. The design of the shield-type patches was intended to be similar to the shield patches that the original Senators added to their jerseys after each Stanley Cup championship win. The patches spell the team name, one in English, and one in French. The design was a collaborative effort between the Senators and a fan in Gatineau, Quebec who had been circulating a version of it on the internet since 2009.<ref>{{cite web |website=Ottawa Senators |url=http://senators.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=590673 |title=Senators, fan team up to create a new vintage look |date=October 1, 2011 |access-date=October 3, 2011 |archive-date=June 17, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120617123215/http://senators.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=590673 |url-status=live }}</ref> The black third jerseys served as the basis of the Senators' [[2014 Heritage Classic]] jerseys, which used cream as the base colour.<ref name=SensJerseyHistory/>
In 2017, the Senators' jerseys received a slight makeover when [[Adidas]] replaced Reebok as the NHL's uniform provider. The number font was changed to match those of their recent third jerseys, which were retired after the 2016–17 season. Prior to the 2018–19 season, the Senators brought back the red jerseys worn during the NHL 100 Classic as a third jersey. The design featured a silver "O" in front with black trim amid horizontal black, silver and white stripes.<ref name=SensJerseyHistory/>
In 2020, the Senators reintroduced its 1997–2007 logo with the jersey set used from 1992 to 1995.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://news.sportslogos.net/2020/07/13/report-ottawa-senators-to-bring-back-old-logo-in-2021/hockey-2/|title=Report: Ottawa Senators to Bring Back Old Logo in 2021|first=Chris|last=Creamer|date=July 13, 2020 |access-date=September 21, 2020|archive-date=September 30, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200930160553/https://news.sportslogos.net/2020/07/13/report-ottawa-senators-to-bring-back-old-logo-in-2021/hockey-2/|url-status=live}}</ref> The updated logo uses a gold outline as opposed to red. The new uniforms, while largely resembling the originals from the 1990s, retained the lettering font used since the Adidas takeover, while the white uniforms retained only the black and red stripes along the upper arm sleeves.

==Broadcasting==
Ottawa Senators games are broadcast locally in both the English and French languages. As of the 2014–15 season, regional television rights to the Senators' regular season games not broadcast nationally by [[Sportsnet]], [[TVA Sports]], or ''[[Hockey Night in Canada]]'' are owned by [[Bell Media]] under a 12-year contract, with games airing in English on [[TSN5]], and in French on [[Réseau des sports|RDS]]. Regional broadcasts are available within the team's designated region (shared with the Montreal Canadiens), which includes the Ottawa River valley, Eastern Ontario (portions are shared with the Toronto Maple Leafs), along with [[Quebec]], the [[Maritimes|Maritime provinces]] and [[Newfoundland and Labrador]].<ref name=tsn-regionalNHL>{{cite web|title=Sens, Lets, and Leafs featured regionally on TSN's feeds|url=https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=459687|publisher=The Sports Network|access-date=August 24, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140820221306/http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=459687|archive-date=August 20, 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name=tsn-newsenscontract>{{cite web|title=TSN, TSN Radio 1200 become Senators' broadcasters|url=https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=442467|publisher=The Sports Network|access-date=January 29, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140201193218/http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=442467|archive-date=February 1, 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name=sun-tsnsens>{{cite web|title=Senators to sign major new TV deal with Bell, TSN|url=http://www.ottawasun.com/2014/01/28/senators-to-sign-major-new-tv-deal-with-bell-tsn|work=Ottawa Sun|access-date=January 29, 2014|date=January 28, 2014|archive-date=February 2, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140202231749/http://www.ottawasun.com/2014/01/28/senators-to-sign-major-new-tv-deal-with-bell-tsn|url-status=live}}</ref>

His firm, Terrace Investments, did not have the liquid assets to finance the expansion fee and the team, but the group conceived a strategy to leverage land development. In 1989, after finding a suitable site on farmland just west of Ottawa in <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Kanata,_Ontario" title="Kanata, Ontario">Kanata</a> on which to construct a new arena, Terrace announced its intention to win a franchise and launched a successful "Bring Back the Dolphins" campaign to both woo the public and persuade the NHL that the city could support an NHL franchise.

</p><p>Prior to the 2008–09 season, the Senators unveiled a new black third jersey, featuring the shortened "SENS" moniker in front.

</p><p>In 2011, the Senators introduced a throwback-inspired third jersey design. Mostly black, the jersey incorporated horizontal striping intended to be reminiscent of the original Senators' 'barber-pole' designs. Shield-type patches were added to the shoulders. The design of the shield-type patches was intended to be similar to the shield patches that the original Senators added to their jerseys after each Stanley Cup championship win. The patches spell the team name, one in English, and one in French. The design was a collaborative effort between the Senators and a fan in Gatineau, Quebec who had been circulating a version of it on the internet since 2009.<sup id="cite_ref-182" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-182">[180]</a></sup> The black third jerseys served as the basis of the Senators' <a href="/enwiki/wiki/2014_Heritage_Classic" title="2014 Heritage Classic">2014 Heritage Classic</a> jerseys, which used cream as the base colour.<sup id="cite_ref-SensJerseyHistory_178-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-SensJerseyHistory-178">[176]</a></sup>
</p><p>In 2017, the Senators' jerseys received a slight makeover when <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Adidas" title="Adidas">Adidas</a> replaced Reebok as the NHL's uniform provider. The number font was changed to match those of their recent third jerseys, which were retired after the 2016–17 season. Prior to the 2018–19 season, the Senators brought back the red jerseys worn during the NHL 100 Classic as a third jersey.
