1995–96 Ottawa Senators season
Encyclopedia
The 1995–96 Ottawa Senators
season was a season with plenty of change for the club. The club changed coaching staffs twice, changed the General Manager and moved into the new Palladium
arena in Kanata
. The team would again finish last in the league.
Prior to the season, on August 2, 1995, Brian Smith, former NHL hockey player and sportscaster at Ottawa TV station CJOH-TV was killed. He had been the primary reporter on the Senators for the station. The Senators would honor him with a patch on their jerseys, with his nickname 'Smitty' and number 18, which they would wear on their jerseys for the whole season. The team would also raise a banner in his memory.
There were some bright spots during the season, rookie Daniel Alfredsson
would lead the team offensively with 61 points (26 goals-35 assists), while Alexei Yashin
was out of the lineup for 36 games. Alfredsson would go on to win the Calder Trophy, awarded to the NHL's rookie of the year.
After getting off to a good start with a 6–5–0 record, the Senators would then lose their next eight games, which ended up costing head coach Rick Bowness
his job, as the club replaced him with Dave Allison
, who was previously the head coach of the Senators AHL
affiliate, the Prince Edward Island Senators
. The Dave Allison
era did not last long in Ottawa, as the club would only win two of 25 games (2–22–1) before he was replaced by Jacques Martin. Under Martin, the Senators would be more competitive, going 10–24–4 in his 38 games to finish the year with an 18–59–5, their fourth straight season at the bottom of the NHL standings.
as General Manager, on December 6, 1995, Pierre Gauthier
made three moves to strengthen the club. He hired Jacques Martin as head coach, signed hold-out Alexei Yashin
to a contract and engineered a blockbuster trade on January 23, 1996, dealing away Don Beaupre
, Martin Straka
and Bryan Berard
, while acquiring Damian Rhodes
and Wade Redden
. It was a three-way trade between the Senators, the Toronto Maple Leafs
, and the New York Islanders
and was necessary because Berard, the Senators' first-round pick, was refusing to report to the Senators.
The Senators left the Ottawa Civic Centre
and played their first game in The Palladium on January 17, 1996, against the Montreal Canadiens
. The raising of the Senators' Stanley Cup banners failed, leaving the banners obscuring some fans' view of the scoreboard. The Senators lost 3–0 to the Canadiens.
On April 13, 1996, the Senators played the defending Stanley Cup champion New Jersey Devils
, who needed a win to clinch the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The Senators would play the role of spoiler, defeating New Jersey 5–2, officially eliminating the Devils from post-season play and giving the Tampa Bay Lightning
, the team that entered the league the same year as the Senators, their first playoff berth.
