The Ottawa Senators head into Thursday’s matchup looking to rebound after a 4-3 overtime loss to the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday. Get our free NHL Picks all season long! The defeat dropped them to 6-5-2, but their play has shown promise. Linus Ullmark is expected to start in goal, bringing experience and composure to stabilize Ottawa’s defensive structure.

The Senators have relied on balanced scoring, but they’ll need more consistency in closing out games. Brady Tkachuk and Tim Stützle continue to generate offense, yet defensive breakdowns have cost them key points. Ullmark’s familiarity with Boston’s system could work to Ottawa’s advantage, giving them insight into the Bruins’ offensive tendencies.

Bruins Preview

Boston, sitting at 8-7, enters this contest following a 4-3 shootout win over the New York Islanders on Tuesday. Jeremy Swayman will get the start between the pipes, aiming to build on his strong performance. The Bruins have leaned heavily on their top forwards, including David Pastrnak and Brad Marchand, to carry the offensive load.

For the Bruins, structure and discipline remain their calling cards. Charlie McAvoy and Hampus Lindholm lead a blue line that limits high-danger chances, while Swayman’s calm presence keeps Boston competitive in tight games. If the Bruins can control the tempo early, their veteran poise may wear down the Senators over time.
