The Ottawa Senators have been struggling with team cohesion lately, impacting their on-ice performance. The coaching staff emphasizes the need for players like Brady Tkachuk and Tim Stützle to foster better chemistry among their teammates.

To improve their connectivity, the Senators are focusing on communication and teamwork drills. Players are encouraged to engage with each other both on and off the ice, building stronger relationships that can translate into better game-day performances. Establishing a sense of unity will be key in overcoming their current challenges.

As the Senators look to re-establish their identity, key games are on the horizon. Players recognize the importance of rising to the occasion, with Tkachuk leading the charge while ensuring everyone is involved. The rest of the season will serve as a test for their commitment to a collective effort, aiming for a playoff spot.
