2001–02 Ottawa Senators season

NHL hockey team season

The 2001–02 Ottawa Senators season was the tenth season of the Ottawa Senators of the National Hockey League (NHL). This season saw the Senators place third in the Northeast Division, with 94 points. In the playoffs, they upset the Philadelphia Flyers in five games, limiting the Flyers' high-powered offence to just two goals for the franchise's second playoff series win. This led to a second round series with the Toronto Maple Leafs, in which the Sens lost in a tense seven-game affair.

Off-season

Prior to the season, former captain Alexei Yashin was traded to the New York Islanders for Zdeno Chara, Bill Muckalt and the Islanders' first-round draft pick (second overall), which the Sens used to draft Jason Spezza. Chara and Muckalt would play for the Senators, while Spezza returned to junior.

Regular season

On November 13, 2001, the Senators defeated the Washington Capitals on the road by a score of 11–5.^[2] Captain Daniel Alfredsson scored a hat-trick in the game. It was the first time that an NHL team had scored ten goals in a regular-season game since February 3, 1999, when the Washington Capitals defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning at home by a score of 10–1.^[3] It was also the first time in modern franchise history that the Senators had scored ten goals in a regular-season game.
