With Tkachuk setting the tone, which Senators’ defensemen are primed to gain more ice time early in the season?

Spence’s arrival and Jensen’s injury recovery open opportunities for younger blue-liners to step up. Expect more minutes for the left-side youngster or veteran-stable toggles to balance the pairings, especially on 5-on-5 and PK. If the defense group blends quickly, a top-four role for a rising puck-mover becomes plausible, boosting fantasy upside across OTT blueliners.
