Regular season
Alexei Yashin once again proved to be the Senators leader on the ice, scoring 21 goals, along with 23 assists for a team leading 44 points. Alexandre Daigle had another strong season also, putting up 37 points (16 goals, 21 assists) to finish second to Yashin in team scoring.
Don Beaupre led the team in net, setting the team record for best GAA average in a season (3.36), best save percentage (.896), won 8 of the 9 games the Senators won during the season and got the first shutout in team history on February 6, when the Senators shutout the Philadelphia Flyers 3–0 at the Civic Centre.
The Sens started slow, going 0–6–2 in their first eight games before their shutout win over Philadelphia. They slumped throughout the first 41 games of the season, as they had a 4–32–5 record but the team finished the year by going 5–2–0 in their last seven games, outscoring their opponents 27-21, to finish the season with a 9–34–5 record but failed to avoid finishing in last place in the NHL for the third straight season.
The Senators finished last in wins (9), losses (34), points (23), even-strength goals against (129), and tied the Florida Panthers and Montreal Canadiens for fewest short-handed goals scored (1).[1]
