Senators to host pre-season games in Quebec City, September 2025

The Ottawa Senators will host two pre-season games in Quebec City at the Videotron Centre on September 28 and 30, 2025, marking a significant return of NHL action to the city after years of absence. The first game will feature the Senators against the New Jersey Devils, followed by a matchup against the Montreal Canadiens, rekindling a historic rivalry. The Senators plan to engage in team-building activities and community initiatives during their four-day stay, enhancing their connection with local fans. This event comes as Quebec City continues to express interest in re-establishing a permanent NHL presence since the Quebec Nordiques relocated in 1995. Notably, no public funds will be used for these games, contrasting with previous events that received substantial government subsidies. The Senators' owner, Michael Andlauer, emphasized the excitement of playing in front of passionate fans and the opportunity to prepare for the upcoming season in a vibrant city.
