On September 17, 2013, he signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Senators.

Lazar made the Senators' 2014-15 opening night lineup and scored his first NHL goal against Jhonas Enroth of the Buffalo Sabres on December 15, 2014. Lazar was given permission by the Senators to represent Team Canada at the 2015 IIHF World Junior Championship in which Canada would win gold. In the tournament Lazar served as the team captain.[11] Following the tournament's conclusion, Lazar rejoined the Senators.
