Off-season

On May 7, 2024, the Senators announced their new head coach Travis Green, a former head coach with the Vancouver Canucks, and former NHL player.^[2] The team filled out their coaching positions by returning Daniel Alfredsson and Ben Sexton and adding Mike Yeo and Nolan Baumgartner as assistant coaches.^[3]

Personnel changes included the Senators trading Jakob Chychrun to the Washington Capitals for Nick Jensen and a draft pick, and trading Joonas Korpisalo, Mark Kastelic and a draft pick to the Boston Bruins for Linus Ullmark and trading Mathieu Joseph to the St. Louis Blues. Free agent players added included Michael Amadio, Nick Cousins, Adam Gaudette, Noah Gregor and David Perron.

On July 31, the Allen Americans, the ECHL affiliate of the Senators for the previous two seasons, announced a new affiliation with the Utah Hockey Club, leaving the Senators without an ECHL affiliate.^[4]

Regular season

This was an up-and-down season for the Senators. The team slumped in November and February before recovering in March and April to qualify for their first playoffs since 2017.

The Senators made two moves at the March trade deadline. The team traded Josh Norris and Jacob Bernard-Docker to Buffalo for Dylan Cozens and Dennis Gilbert and a draft pick. The team also picked up Fabian Zetterlund and Tristen Robins from the San Jose Sharks for Zack Ostapchuk and Noah Gregor, with an exchange of draft picks.
