The Ottawa Senators will spend part of their training camp in Quebec City and also play two preseason games there next season, the team announced Monday.

The Senators will face the New Jersey Devils on Sept. 28 and the Montreal Canadiens on Sept. 30, with both games held at the Videotron Centre.

"In addition to playing two games in front of passionate fans, this short trip will allow our players to spend a few days in a beautiful city as they put the finishing touches on their preparations for a new season," team owner Michael Andlauer said.

Quebec City was home to the NHL's Quebec Nordiques from 1979 to 1995, following their time in the World Hockey Association from 1972 to 1979. The franchise relocated to Denver in 1995 and was renamed the Colorado Avalanche.
