The Ottawa Senators welcomed six new players to their bench during the NHL draft in Las Vegas this weekend.

The team had the seventh pick in the first round of the draft, selecting immediately after the new Utah-based franchise that will make its debut in the 2024-25 season. The team did not have a pick in the third, sixth or seventh rounds.

The Sens had previously announced they acquired goalie Linus Ullmark in a trade with the Boston Bruins. In exchange, Ottawa will send goalies Mark Kastelic and Joonas Korpisalo to the Bruins.

The Boston Bruins selected Ottawa Valley's Dean Letourneau 25th overall in the first round of the draft on Friday. Letourneau grew up in Braeside, Ont., located about an hour west of Ottawa.
