Ottawa (3-2-1) have a team that strikes a very good balance between offense and defense. On the defensive side of the ice, they have Erik Karlsson, the winner of last season’s Norris Trophy. He is a sold blue line guy, but also poses a serious offensive threat, as can be seen by his 8 assists through the first 7 games of the year. On the offensive side of the ice, the Senators were hoping that last year’s Calder Trophy finalist Mark Stone would not have a sophomore slump, and so far he has not disappointed. Stone has been excellent, scoring 2 goals and adding 6 assists for 8 points. Ottawa have done well so far, especially when you consider that 5 of their first 7 games were played on the road. They are now in a 4-game home stand, where they will face a few teams off to a bit of a rocky start this season.
