All is not well in Ottawa. Following the recent dismissal of GM Pierre Dorion, indications suggest that the days of head coach DJ Smith are also numbered.

A shakeup has started with the Senators, as the new owner Michael Andlauer is not taking the team's current struggles lightly. The aim is to make the playoffs this season.
However, after ten games, the Senators sit at the bottom of the Eastern Conference with a record of 4-6-0.
During Saturday's game, fans showed their impatience with the team, chanting Fire DJ. Such reactions are usually not a good sign for a coach's future.
This is not the first time such a situation has occurred; it happened a few games ago.
The expected results are still not coming, and Smith seems unable to lead his team to success. The pressure is mounting, and a change appears to be inevitable.
The Sens don't play again until Wednesday, giving the management potentially enough time to make a decision. Another loss in Toronto might signal the end for Smith.
Patrick Roy's name has been circulating in Ottawa since last summer, and it might gain even more traction in the coming days. With the arrival of a new owner who was previously a shareholder of the Montreal Canadiens before acquiring the Senators, it's known that he holds great respect for Roy.
Of course, the arrival of the legendary Patrick Roy in Ottawa would be a significant acquisition, not just for the team, but also from a marketing perspective. An icon like him would certainly reignite interest among the franchise's fans who have been disheartened for years.
This is a story to watch closely this week.
