The twenties belonged to the Senators while the first season of the decade was that of goal scorers. On January 10, Montreal's Newsy Lalonde scored six goals against the Toronto St. Pats. Three weeks later, Quebec's Joe Malone had seven goals to set the all-time NHL record. Meanwhile, on defense, Ottawa's Clint Benedict led the NHL in wins, with 19, and goals-against-average (2.67). He was the only goalie in the league to record any shutouts, with five.

Because the Senators won both halves of the season's split schedule, there were no NHL playoffs. Western opposition for the Cup finals would come from the Seattle Metro-politans. Before the series got underway, one minor problem had to be settled. Seattles' uniforms were striped in red, white and green and Ottawa sweaters were almost identical with red, white and black. Ottawa obligingly agreed to wear plain white jerseys. But that didn't stop the Sens from taking the series three games to two, with Jack Darragh scoring three times in the final game.
