The Ottawa Senators face the Boston Bruins with both teams on opposite ends of the standings this season. The Senators have a 26-24-4 record and are near the bottom of the Atlantic Division while the Bruins have a 42-8-5 record and with three wins in a row are in first place in the Eastern Conference. The Senators are looking to turn around their season while the Bruins hope to remain in first place in the conference and the upcoming game looks to be a good one as a result.
The Senators are having a rough season despite their offense stepping up and scoring 3.00 goals per game. Brady Tkachuk and Tim Stützle have scored 47 goals and 66 assists to lead the top line but the rest of the offense has also stepped up. Claude Giroux, Alex DeBrincat, and Drake Batherson have combined for 56 goals and 84 assists while defensemen Thomas Chabot and Travis Hamonic have added 11 goals and 29 assists from the point to open up the offense.
The offense has been great but the defense has been awful, allowing 3.22 goals per game. Chabot and Hamonic have combined for 4.3 defensive point shares but the rest of the unit has struggled, allowing opponents to find open shots on the net at will. The hope is that goaltender Kevin Mandolese can build off a strong start as he saved 46 of the 48 shots in his NHL debut.
