Pizza Line Reunion Set for December 5 – A Legendary Moment for Ottawa Senators Fans
The excitement is building as the legendary "Pizza Line" of the Ottawa Senators is set to reunite on December 5 at the game against the Detroit Red Wings. It has been over 5,700 days since the trio of Daniel Alfredsson, Jason Spezza, and Dany Heatley last skated together in a Senators' uniform, but on this date, fans will be treated to a long-awaited return to the Canadian Tire Centre.
The "Pizza Line," also known as the CASH Line, was a force to be reckoned with between 2005 and 2009, creating unforgettable moments and dominating the NHL. This trio combined for a staggering 1,057 points during their four years together. The line earned its famous name from a popular Senators' promotion where fans were rewarded with a free slice of pizza if the team scored five or more goals in a game—a feat that occurred often with Alfredsson, Spezza, and Heatley on the ice.

Their on-ice chemistry helped lead the Senators to some of the most memorable playoff runs in franchise history, including their first-ever trip to the Stanley Cup Finals in 2007. The reunion on December 5 will mark the first time the three will be back in the building together since April 9, 2009, a special moment for fans who remember their thrilling performances.
Daniel Alfredsson, drafted 133rd overall by the Senators in the 1994 NHL Draft, went on to become one of the franchise’s greatest players. With 1,157 career points and six All-Star appearances, Alfredsson’s leadership on and off the ice was vital to the team’s success. He served as the team’s captain from 1999 until 2013 and had a legacy that earned his number 11 jersey retired by the team in 2015.
Jason Spezza, who was selected second overall by the Senators in 2001, was another cornerstone of the Pizza Line. His 995 career points, including a two-time All-Star selection, cemented his place as one of the team’s all-time greats. Spezza also captained the Senators for a time and helped guide the team through some of its most successful seasons.
Dany Heatley, also drafted second overall (but by the Atlanta Thrashers in 2000), joined the Senators in 2005 and quickly became one of the league’s top goal-scorers. Heatley’s remarkable ability to score goals, including two 50-goal seasons with Ottawa, earned him a place as one of the team’s most prolific players. His career included three All-Star Game selections and a Calder Trophy win as the NHL’s best rookie in 2002.
Now, fans have the unique opportunity to relive the glory days of the Pizza Line at the upcoming game against the Red Wings. For those who want to be a part of this historic event, tickets are available, and the energy inside the arena is expected to be electric. The reunion of these three icons is a moment Ottawa Senators fans won’t want to miss, and it promises to bring back some incredible memories of a time when the Pizza Line was the talk of the NHL.
