The 1924–25 Ottawa Senators season was the club's 40th season of play and 8th season in the NHL. The NHL would expand to 6 teams, as the Montreal Maroons and the first US-based team, the Boston Bruins, joined the league. The NHL also added more games to the schedule, going from 24 to 30.
Before the season, the Senators and Maroons made a trade, as the Senators sent Clint Benedict and Punch Broadbent to Montreal for cash. The Sens would then sign Alec Connell to play goal for them.
Cy Denneny would have another spectacular season, leading the NHL in assists, finishing 2nd to Babe Dye of the Toronto St. Pats in points, and finishing 3rd to Dye and Aurel Joliat of the Montreal Canadiens in goals.
During the season, the Senators and Hamilton Tigers would play in the first ever scoreless game in NHL regular season history on December 17.
Ottawa would finish in 4th place in the league, failing to make the playoffs for the first time since the 1917–18 NHL season, ending a streak of 6 straight seasons.
After the season, Frank Nighbor was the first winner of the Lady Byng Trophy, awarded to the player with the best sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct combined with performance in play.
