Season Preview: Ottawa Senators depth chart

Jean-Yves Ahern-USA TODAY Sports

theScore is previewing each team leading up to the 2016-17 season.

The Ottawa Senators missed the playoffs for the second time in three years last season, and after a relatively quiet summer on the acquisition front, the team is looking to new head coach Guy Boucher for a fresh systematic approach.

With a potent offense, and one of the league's top defenseman, the Senators are a threat in the middling Atlantic Division, if they can sort things out in their own zone.

Here's a look at Ottawa's projected depth chart for 2016-17:

Forwards

LW C RW
Mike Hoffman Kyle Turris Mark Stone
Clarke MacArthur Derick Brassard Bobby Ryan

Matt Puempel Chris Kelly Chris Neil
  • Ottawa traded Mika Zibanejad to the New York Rangers for Brassard in the offseason.
  • MacArthur's status remains in question after suffering another concussion in training camp.

Defense

LD RD
Marc Methot Erik Karlsson
Dion Phaneuf Cody Ceci
Mark Borowiecki Chris Wideman
  • Ceci signed a two-year, $5.6-million contract in the offseason, following the most productive season of his young career.

Goalies

G
Craig Anderson
Andrew Hammond
  • After Hammond stole the show en route to a miraculous 2014 playoff berth, Anderson took the crease back, starting 60 games last season.
