GARRIOCH: Some storylines to watch as the much-improved Senators open camp

The Ottawa Senators will take one last trip to the golf course before turning in their three\u002Dwoods for Sherwoods with the opening of training camp Wednesday at the Canadian Tire Centre.

General manager Pierre Dorion, coach D.J. Smith and the rest of the hockey operations staff aren’t making any promises the Senators will be a playoff team in the spring, but they’re confident this group will be playing meaningful games in March and April.Article content

Goaltender Cam Talbot, who had 32 wins last season with the Minnesota Wild, was acquired for prospect Filip Gustavsson. Goaltender Matt Murray was dealt to the Toronto Maple Leafs after being unable to get his game together with the Senators. The key for DeBrincat is to find chemistry with Stutzle. The 24-year-old DeBrincat scored 41 goals and registered 78 points in 82 games with the Hawks last season. Giroux will play a key role in helping the club in the faceoff circle, especially on draws in the defensive zone.

There’s no reason to believe after seeing the 20-year-old Sanderson in a game in the rookie tournament in Buffalo that he won’t start the season with the Senators. He has poise with the puck, he plays a mature game and he’s got an elite skill set.Article content
