At the halfway point of the season, we have a pretty good idea of the kind of team the Ottawa Senators are - and it's more or less what we expected at the start of the campaign.

A lot has been said about Jack Hughes over the last few weeks. He's been given several titles and labels during this heater he has been on..... A Goal Scorer, Otherworldly, Playmaker, The Big Deal.
