The 2021–22 Ottawa Senators season was the 30th season of the Ottawa Senators of the National Hockey League (NHL). The Senators attempted to return to the Stanley Cup playoffs after failing to qualify for the past four seasons. The Senators returned to the Atlantic Division after playing in the North Division in 2020–21.

On April 6, 2022, the Senators were eliminated from playoff contention when the Washington Capitals defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning.{{cite web |last1=Campbell |first1=Tim |title=Senators miss playoffs, could not overcome injuries, goalie problems |url=https://www.nhl.com/news/ottawa-stanley-cup-playoffs-drought-team-record/c-332716414 |website=NHL.com |access-date=April 7, 2022 |date=April 6, 2022}}

Team business

In July 2021, the team hired Pierre McGuire as senior vice president of player development. McGuire, who had most recently been a broadcaster with the NHL on NBC, had previously been an assistant coach with the Senators.{{cite web |url=https://www.nhl.com/senators/news/senators-appoint-pierre-mcguire-as-senior-vp-of-player-development/c-325631294 |title=Senators appoint Pierre McGuire as senior VP of player development |publisher=Ottawa Senators |author=Sens Communications |date=July 12, 2021}} In August 2021, the Senators announced their new ECHL affiliation with the Atlanta Gladiators.{{Cite web |url=https://www.echl.com/en/news/2021/8/gladiators-announce-affiliation-with-ottawa-senators |title=GLADIATORS ANNOUNCE AFFILIATION WITH OTTAWA SENATORS |website=ECHL |date=August 9, 2021}}

In April 2022, the club announced a joint proposal with the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group to host the 2023 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championships in Ottawa.{{cite web |url=https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/ottawa-senators-dream-of-playing-in-a-new-downtown-arena-is-very-much-alive-again/ |title=Sens and OSEG join forces |website=Sportsnet |first=Wayne |last=Scanlan |date=April 6, 2022 }}

The National Capital Commission (NCC) resumed the process to redevelop the LeBreton Flats overall site, reserving the site of an arena and asking for preliminary bids on the arena site separately. After a February 2022 deadline to submit bids, the NCC announced that it had received several bids for the site.{{cite web |url=https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/as-hope-for-new-senators-arena-re-emerges-ncc-decision-on-lebreton-flats-not-imminent/ |title=As hope for new Senators arena re-emerges, NCC decision on LeBreton Flats not imminent |date=April 7, 2022 |author=Sportsnet staff }} Local media speculated that the Senators were actively pursuing a bid, authorized by Melnyk shortly before his death.{{cite web |url=https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/32-thoughts-senators-still-have-opportunity-to-realize-eugene-melnyks-dreams/ |website=Sportsnet |title=32 Thoughts: Senators still have opportunity to realize Eugene Melnyk's dreams |first=Elliotte |last=Friedman |date=March 31, 2022 }} In June 2022, the NCC accepted the Senators' proposal for a new downtown arena and mixed-use development as part of the Lebreton Flats redevelopment. The team will lease the land for their development. Construction is not expected before 2024 after a leasing agreement is finalized and municipal review of the project is completed.{{Cite web |date=June 23, 2022 |title=Ottawa Senators win bid for downtown arena at LeBreton Flats |url=https://ottawa.ctvnews.ca/ottawa-senators-win-bid-for-downtown-arena-at-lebreton-flats-1.5959160 |access-date=June 23, 2022 |website=Ottawa }} The lease agreement is expected to be put in place by autumn of 2023.
