Travis Green determined to get better results from young Ottawa Senators roster
Travis Green says he is a firm, approachable and detail-oriented coach. The Ottawa Senators are banking on those qualities to make an impression on their young and talented roster.
General manager Steve Staios highlighted Green’s leadership experience and ability to develop players as key factors in the hiring, reflecting owner Michael Andlauer’s commitment to turn around a Senators team that has finished out of the playoffs for seven straight seasons. Green most recently served as New Jersey’s interim head coach this season after Lindy Ruff was fired, where he posted a mediocre 8-12-1 record. Before that he spent parts of six seasons with the Vancouver Canucks compiling a 141-159-35 record. The Canucks made the playoffs once under his watch, when they advanced to the second round of the 2019-20 postseason before losing to Vegas in seven games.
The Senators are coming off a season where they parted ways with long-time general manager Pierre Dorion after the team was stripped of a first-round draft pick due to a trade infraction, then fired head coach D.J. Smith after an 11-15 start.
