Senators at Bruins: Boston Eyes Fifth Straight Win
The Boston Bruins enter Thursday night's game against the Ottawa Senators riding a four-game winning streak, their longest this season. After struggling through a six-game losing skid, Boston has recovered to a record above .500, marked by a comeback shootout victory over the New York Islanders on Tuesday.
“It shows the character in our room,” said Bruins coach Marco Sturm. “We made some mistakes, but I’m glad we came back and won the game.”
The Bruins will face the Senators and former teammate Linus Ullmark, who won the Vezina Trophy while playing in Boston in 2023.
