Ottawa won the series with scores of 1–0, 1–4, 3–2, and 4–1, with Benedict getting the shutout and Harry Broadbent scoring five goals. In the 1927–28 season, the Senators played two "home" games in Detroit, collecting the bulk of the gate receipts (thus allowing them to actually turn a profit for that season), while Jack Adams retired to become the coach and general manager of the Detroit Cougars.

[126] Off the ice, Gorman and Ahearn squabbled over ownership. The team struggled and finished in third place after the first half of the season.

The NHL presented the Senators with a "certificate of reinstatement" commemorating Ottawa's return to the league, and the current Senators honour the original franchise's 11 Stanley Cups.

The return match in Ottawa, witnessed by 3,000 fans, was on ice coated with an inch of water.

[1] Frank Jenkins was the first captain of the team; he later became the president of the hockey club in 1891 and of the Amateur Hockey Association of Canada (AHA or AHAC) in 1892.[8]. The NHL expanded further into the United States in the 1925–26 season with the new New York Americans and Pittsburgh Pirates.
