Former Ottawa Senators Set For 2025–26 CTC Homecomings
The Ottawa Senators recently released their 2025–26 regular season schedule, and with it comes a parade of familiar faces poised to make their returns to Canadian Tire Centre. Fans can look forward to equal doses of nostalgia and rivalry as several former Sens come back this season in different sweaters, some for the first time. That includes Josh Norris, who'll roll into Ottawa for the holidays wearing white, blue and gold and the number 13 – possibly a number chosen to offset his bad luck in the injury department. Here's a look at the notable dates and returning players, along with a brief snapshot of their time in Ottawa: Thursday, October 16 vs Seattle Kraken — Joey Daccord Daccord, drafted by Ottawa in 2015, played parts of two seasons before being claimed in the Seattle expansion draft. Now entering the first year of a 5-year, $25 million deal, he's back where his NHL journey began. Not bad for a 7th-rounder. Saturday, October 18 vs New York Islanders — J.G. Pageau, Anthony Duclair, Matthew Highmore "Pageau! Pageau! Pageau! Pageau!" The fan-favourite and Ottawa native spent seven seasons with the team and was known for his playoff heroics and clutch goals. Duclair, who had a 23-goal season with Ottawa in 2019–20, and possibly Highmore (if on the roster), also join him in the return. Pageau is entering the final year of his contract. Monday, October 27 vs Boston Bruins — Mark Kastelic, Joonas Korpisalo Mark Kastelic, a rugged centerman drafted by the Senators in 2019, will face his old team for the first time since being traded. Meanwhile, goalie Joonas Korpisalo—whose tenure in Ottawa didn't go as planned—will be back in town on the Sens' dime. They're still paying $1 million of his salary annually for the next three years. Tuesday, November 11 vs Dallas Stars — Matt Duchene Duchene returns once again to face the team that gave up a significant trade package to acquire him back in 2017. His time in Ottawa was brief and turbulent during the team's retooling years. Thursday, December 4 vs New York Rangers — Mika Zibanejad Drafted sixth overall by Ottawa in 2011, Zibanejad played parts of five seasons before being traded to New York, where he blossomed into a top-line NHL centre. Saturday, December 6 vs St. Louis Blues — Mathieu Joseph Joseph returns after being traded in the 2024 offseason. He spent parts of three seasons in Ottawa. Tuesday, December 9 vs New Jersey Devils — Connor Brown, Evgenii Dadonov, Stefan Noesen, Angus Crookshank (if rostered) Brown, a key player during the rebuild; Dadonov, a high-priced signing who struggled in Ottawa; and possibly Crookshank, a former B-Sens standout, all come back under the Devils' banner. Noesen was a 2011 first-rounder who was dealt to Anaheim in the Bobby Ryan trade. Thursday, December 18 vs Pittsburgh Penguins — Erik Karlsson A marquee night as the two-time Norris Trophy winner with the Sens makes his return. Drafted in 2008, Karlsson served as captain and spent nine seasons in Ottawa before being traded in 2018. Saturday, December 20 vs Chicago Blackhawks — Nick Foligno At 37, Foligno is still rolling. A first-round pick by the Sens in 2006, he spent five seasons in Ottawa before being traded to Columbus for Marc Methot 13 years ago. Tuesday, December 23 vs Buffalo Sabres — Josh Norris The biggest homecoming of the season. Traded at last season's deadline in a blockbuster that brought Dylan Cozens to Ottawa, Norris—if healthy—will face the team that gave him his NHL start and his current massive contract. Monday, December 29 vs Columbus Blue Jackets — Erik Gudbranson The Ottawa native played 36 games for the Senators during the shortened 2020–21 season. Now wearing an "A" in Columbus, he'll enjoy some home cooking with the family. Thursday, January 1 vs Washington Capitals — Jakob Chychrun Chychrun returns after an impressive first season in Washington. He's in year one of an eight-year, $72 million deal with the Caps. Saturday, January 3 vs Winnipeg Jets — Vladislav Namestnikov, Dylan DeMelo DeMelo was solid and a social media darling during his time in Ottawa. Namestnikov was here for a short cup of coffee in 2019–20. Monday, January 5 vs Detroit Red Wings — Alex DeBrincat, Austin Watson, Cam Talbot, Jacob Bernard-Docker A loaded return night. DeBrincat, once pegged as a long-term core player, didn't want to be here. So he was traded after just one season. The popular Watson brought grit and leadership during his three seasons. Talbot and Bernard-Docker round out the group of familiar faces. Saturday, January 24 vs Carolina Hurricanes — Mike Reilly The smooth-skating defenseman played 70 games with the Sens between 2019 and 2021. Reilly missed over four months with the Islanders after a heart procedure last season—so it's good to see him playing anywhere. Saturday, January 25 vs Vegas Golden Knights — Mark Stone Stone, who spends his summers here, plays in Ottawa for the first time since 2022. The Sens' 2010 sixth-round steal captained Vegas to a Cup two years ago. Wednesday, January 28 vs Colorado Avalanche — Parker Kelly Known for his relentless motor, Kelly was a locker room favourite during his tenure in Ottawa. He now grinds it out for the Avs. Sunday, March 15 vs San Jose Sharks — Adam Gaudette, Zack Ostapchuk (if rostered) Gaudette played a short stint with Ottawa, scoring a surprising 19 goals. Ostapchuk, a former Sens prospect, could face his former organization if he cracks the Sharks' NHL lineup. Saturday, April 4 vs Minnesota Wild — Filip Gustavsson, Vladimir Tarasenko Gustavsson is no longer being pushed by veteran Marc-Andre Fleury, who's now retired. Now the internal competition comes from young Jesper Wallstedt. Tarasenko, whose brief stay in Ottawa helped out the top-six, comes back with the Wild after a tough season in Detroit. Tuesday, April 7 vs Tampa Bay Lightning — Nick Paul, Boris Katchouk Paul, a do-it-all forward in Ottawa, has been excellent for Tampa. Katchouk, once a Sens fourth-liner, also returns. There it is — a season filled with emotional reunions, feel-good storylines, and, in the case of the well-liked Norris, whose exit is still so fresh, maybe a few tears.

On to the 📰: — Boston Bruins (@NHLBruins) Along with winning the 1933 tournament, the US also was credited with gold in 1960 by virtue of its Olympic title at Squaw Valley. (Quadrennially through 1968, the IIHF simply designated the Olympic medalists as that year's world podium.) Though it is credited with nine silver medals, the last via the 1956 Olympics, Sunday will be the Americans' first gold-medal game at a non-Olympic worlds since 1934.

Such numbers were what the Bruins expected this past season, only to see Swayman struggle to return to the form that led them to sign him to Like virtually the entire Black & Gold roster, he failed to find a sustained groove, often fighting the puck and his game decidedly lacking confidence and off register. The Bruins finished without a playoff berth for the first time since 2016, Swayman going from 25-10-8 in his last season splitting the role with The Bruins will be counting on a 'rebirthed' Swayman being a key piece of a needed renaissance when the club opens training camp in mid-September.

Bruins teammate Andrew Peeke again was on his backline. He has played in all nine US games, delivering a goal and two assists. Fellow Bruins backliner Mason Lohrei (5 games, 1-2–3) was held out Saturday by Warsofsky. Bruins center Elias Lindholm beat Swayman for one of Sweden's two third-period goals. He will enter Sunday's bronze-medal game as the club's top scorer (8-4—12 in 9 games). Advertisement The Bruins will be hoping Lindholm's overseas confidence boost is also something that will translate when he crosses the Atlantic in the fall. 'It's one of those pinnacle-of-sports moments,' said Swayman, reflecting on what it was like to beat the Swedes on their own frozen turf. 'It's amazing to be up against the world. Kudos to the crowd. Kudos to the city. It's been so unbelievable, the passion that they have . . . it was just one of those moments that you dream of and, again, to see the reality, it's a pinch-yourself moment. I couldn't be more pleased to be a part of it. After the Swedes cut the US lead in half early in the third on goals by the Leafs' William Nylander and Lindholm, the Yanks salted it away with strikes by Anaheim's Jackson Lacombe and Ottawa's Shane Pinto.
