Ottawa Senators Host St. Louis Blues in Crucial NHL Matchup on October 29

The Ottawa Senators are set to host the St. Louis Blues in an exciting NHL matchup on Tuesday, October 29, 2024, at the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa, Ontario. The game is scheduled to start at 7:00 PM ET and will be broadcast on TSN5 and RDSI for fans unable to attend in person. Additionally, the game can be streamed live on ESPN+ for viewers in the United States.

The Senators are looking to bounce back from a 5-4 loss against the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday night. Key players such as Captain Brady Tkachuk, who had a three-point night in the last game, and Claude Giroux, who is on a six-game point streak, will be crucial in the team’s bid to return to the win column. Forward Drake Batherson is also in good form, having accumulated seven points in his last four games.

On the other side, the St. Louis Blues are aiming to recover from a 5-2 loss to the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday. Jake Neighbours, who has been in impressive form with four goals in the last five games, will be a key player for the Blues. Neighbours has a strong record against the Senators, having scored three goals in four career games against them.

The Senators made several roster transactions ahead of the game, recalling forwards Adam Gaudette and Zack Ostapchuk from the Belleville Senators and reassigning forward Cole Reinhardt. Goaltender Linus Ullmark will start in goal for the Senators. The game also features a Halloween theme, with fans encouraged to wear costumes for a costume contest and Spartacat handing out treats to trick-or-treaters.

Former Ottawa Senator Mathieu Joseph will not be able to play for the Blues due to a lower-body injury sustained in their last game. This matchup marks the third game of the Blues’ four-game road stretch, which concludes on Thursday against the Philadelphia Flyers.
