ERIK GUDBRANSON Photography by Sean Sisk
Entering the NHL 3rd overall, Erik Gudbranson made his debut in the 2011-2012 season for the Florida Panthers where he spent the next 5 seasons. He played a key role in their landing at the top of their division in the 2015-2016 season. But, with a disappointing end in the first round of playoffs, management philosophy shifted, and Gudbranson’s bags were packed as he headed to Vancouver. Despite being bounced around from Vancouver to Pittsburg, to Anaheim, he finally made his way home to the Ottawa Senators this year. Born and raised in the Nation’s Capital, Gudbranson brings his experience, stature, and defensive prowess back to his hometown. As the Sens Army welcomes him home, the Faces team catches up.
