Regular season

edit

Ottawa trailed only the Pittsburgh Penguins and New Jersey Devils with the most goals during the regular season (274).

Alexei Yashin played during the 2000–01 season, but was not restored as captain; the position remaining with Alfredsson. After the season, Yashin would be traded to the New York Islanders for Zdeno Chara, Bill Muckalt, and the Isles' first round draft pick (second overall), which the Sens used to draft Jason Spezza. Yashin would sign a ten-year contract with the Isles.

On Saturday, November 18, the Senators scored three short-handed goals in a 5–2 home win against the Florida Panthers.[2]
