However, after being responsible for a car accident in September 2003 that killed teammate and close friend Dan Snyder, he requested a trade and was subsequently dealt to the Ottawa Senators.
As 2005-06 was the first year that the NHL implemented the shootout, Heatley and Alfredsson were the first players to score in an NHL shootout, scoring against Leafs goalie Ed Belfour. Their sticks are now in the Hockey Hall of Fame.

One of the Senators' perennial leading scorers during his tenure with Ottawa, Heatley set franchise records for single-season goals (50) and points (105). He typically played left wing with linemates Jason Spezza and Daniel Alfredsson. Nicknamed the "Pizza Line", the line was consistently among the highest scoring in the NHL after its formation in 2005. The number of goals required for pizza was later increaed to 6 due to the number of 5 goal victories.
Heatley represented Team Canada in six World Championships, two Olympics and one World Cup of Hockey, as well as two World Junior Championships. In 2008, he surpassed Marcel Dionne as Canada's all-time leader in goals and Steve Yzerman as the all-time leader in points for the World Championships.
At the end of the 2008-09 season, Heatley demanded a trade from the Senators. A deal was in lace to send him to the Edmonton Oilers on June 30, but Heatley refused to waive his no-trade clause. On September 12, he was dealt to the San Jose Sharks in return for Milan Michalek, Jonathan Cheechoo and a second-round draft pick in 2010.
