The 1917–18 Ottawa Senators season was the team's first season in the newly formed National Hockey League (NHL) and 33rd season of play overall. The Senators, along with the Montreal and Quebec franchises of the National Hockey Association (NHA), voted to suspend the NHA and form the NHL. Ottawa would finish second and third in the first and second halves of the season, and did not qualify for the playoffs.

Regular season

The Senators first ever game in the NHL was a 7–4 loss to the Montreal Canadiens at The Arena in Ottawa on December 19, 1917. The team would record their first NHL win a week later on the 26th on the road against the Montreal Wanderers. The Senators would then record their first ever home win 3 days later against the same Wanderers.

The Wanderers withdrew from the league 6 games into the season due to a fire burning down their arena, so that left the NHL with 3 teams, the Senators, Canadiens and the Torontos. Ottawa would finish the season in 3rd place, missing out on the playoffs.

Cy Denneny would lead the team in scoring with 36 goals, behind only Joe Malone of the Canadiens in league scoring. Goaltender Clint Benedict would win all 9 games for the team, and post a 5.12 GAA.
