Senators at Bruins: Boston Seeks Fifth Straight Win with Ottawa in Town

The Boston Bruins enter Thursday night’s game against the Ottawa Senators on a four-game winning streak, marking their first such run of the season. The team has regained confidence after emerging from a difficult stretch that included a six-game losing streak and seven losses in eight contests.

With a shootout victory over the Islanders on Tuesday, Boston climbed back above a .500 record. Coach Marco Sturm praised his team’s resilience, emphasizing their ability to respond to setbacks and finish strong.

“It shows the character in our room,” said Sturm after the Bruins rallied from three separate one-goal deficits. “We made some mistakes, but I’m glad we came back and won the game.”

The Bruins will welcome goaltender Linus Ullmark, who won the Vezina Trophy in Boston in 2023 and now returns with the Senators. Ottawa, however, will be without captain Brady Tkachuk, who is recovering from thumb surgery and is expected to miss about six more weeks.

Thursday’s puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. Boston stands with a record of 8–7–0 over the season, going 5–5–0 in their last ten games.
