The Ottawa Senators are well in contention for the Stanley Cup Playoffs in 2024-25. In a tightly contested Eastern Conference, they have the inside track to make the postseason for the first time since 2017.

Long time Ottawa Senators analyst Shawn Simpson has reportedly died at just 56 years old. The news is spreading via social media with Senators based blogs and social media accounts sharing the news via Twitter and Facebook this morning.

It was supposed to be a relatively quiet start to the week for the Ottawa Senators, and they had certainly earned it. The Senators are in third place in the Atlantic Division and finally had a day off after playing 10 games in 16 days.
