The 2001–02 Ottawa Senators season was the tenth season of the Ottawa Senators of the National Hockey League (NHL). This season saw the Senators place third in the Northeast Division, with 94 points. In the playoffs, they upset the Philadelphia Flyers in five games, limiting the Flyers' high-powered offence to just two goals for the franchise's second playoff series win. This led to a second round series with the Toronto Maple Leafs, in which the Sens lost in a tense seven-game affair.

Off-season

Prior to the season, former captain Alexei Yashin was traded to the New York Islanders for Zdeno Chara, Bill Muckalt and the Islanders' first-round draft pick (second overall), which the Sens used to draft Jason Spezza. Chara and Muckalt would play for the Senators, while Spezza returned to junior.

Regular season

On November 13, 2001, the Senators defeated the Washington Capitals on the road by a score of 11–5.{{Cite web|url=https://www.hockey-reference.com/boxscores/200111130WSH.html|title=Ottawa Senators at Washington Capitals Box Score — November 13, 2001}} Captain Daniel Alfredsson scored a hat-trick in the game. It was the first time that an NHL team had scored ten goals in a regular-season game since February 3, 1999, when the Washington Capitals defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning at home by a score of 10–1.{{Cite web|url=https://www.hockey-reference.com/boxscores/199902030WSH.html|title=Tampa Bay Lightning at Washington Capitals Box Score — February 3, 1999}} It was also the first time in modern franchise history that the Senators had scored ten goals in a regular-season game.

Playoffs

In the first round, Ottawa was matched against the Philadelphia Flyers, who were favoured. After the Flyers won the first game, the Senators won the next four. Patrick Lalime would record three consecutive shutouts in games two through four. The Senators won the series by winning the fifth game in overtime, in Philadelphia.

The Senators would go against the Toronto Maple Leafs for the third consecutive season in the playoffs. The teams would take turns winning games and the series would go seven games, with the deciding game won in Toronto by the Maple Leafs.
