NHL fans in the nation's capital are bracing for a grueling season as the Ottawa Senators face a daunting new schedule that could leave them at a significant disadvantage. The Senators, who have struggled to find consistency in recent years, will be playing the most games of any team in the league, with a whopping 82 games on their docket. This heavy workload comes on the heels of a condensed schedule in the 2021-2022 season, which was shortened due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With a roster that's still rebuilding and a lack of depth, the Senators will be put to the test as they attempt to navigate the demanding schedule and make a push for the playoffs.
