Need to Know: Bruins vs. Senators | Boston Bruins

Bruins vs. Senators Preview

Korpisalo will start in net for Boston on Thursday at TD Garden. The Boston Bruins face the Ottawa Senators in a rematch after their 7-2 loss in October.

Boston's Recent Performance

Since that defeat, Boston has bounced back with four consecutive wins. They aim to extend this streak in the upcoming 7 p.m. game.

“It was a pretty bad game from us. That was the first time I didn’t feel any energy on the bench, especially going into the third. We can throw it away, but I also think we learn from it. We can’t take a period or two off because the league is that good,” head coach Marco Sturm said. “That should be motivation enough for us [today] to show an answer. Because that was not us.”

Key Players and Strategy

Boston most recently defeated the New York Islanders 4-3 in a shootout at UBS Arena. Pavel Zacha scored his first power-play goal of the year in the second period, extending his point streak to four games.

Zacha now centers the second line alongside Casey Mittelstadt and Viktor Arvidsson.

“I always think the centerman is always the motor and always the brain on any line,” Sturm said. “I think [Zacha] took that since he’s back on center – I think he took that line to another level. Not just defensively against top lines, top opponents. But also offensively.”

Looking Ahead

The Bruins look to show a strong response after their previous loss and continue their winning momentum against the Senators.

Author’s summary: The Boston Bruins aim to rebound from a heavy loss to the Senators, fueled by recent victories and strong leadership from key players like Pavel Zacha.
