Two-way structure · Brady-Stutzle window opening

Brady Tkachuk and Tim Stutzle anchor a top-six that finally has the goaltending and defensive structure to match the offensive talent, with Jake Sanderson posting elite defensive metrics as a true #1 D. Linus Ullmark had his struggles between the pipes but gave the Sens just enough to get over the hump, and they rank top-10 in expected goals against per 60. They're back in the playoffs for the first time in nearly a decade, the rebuild is officially over.
