Game 14 Hub: Ottawa Senators at Boston Bruins
The Ottawa Senators face the Boston Bruins in a rematch following last week's 7–2 win by the Senators. After a rare four-day break in an otherwise tight schedule, the Senators used recent practices to refine team strategies ahead of the game in Boston.
This week has been special for the Senators as it coincides with the Dad’s trip, allowing players’ fathers to join meetings and practices. This added presence is expected to help the players stay focused and accountable to the coaching staff's game plan.
Coach Travis Green's Perspective
Coach Travis Green emphasized the importance of maintaining a "sixty-minute mindset" for consistent focus throughout the games. He called for complete commitment from every player and team cohesiveness to properly execute their systems and strategies practiced over the last two days.
- Focused work on penalty killing with hopes for visible improvements tonight.
- Practiced 5-on-5 play and passing drills to enhance team coordination.
“I’m not interested in the past,” Green commented on the so-called November curse. “My focus is on getting the players ready for the next game.”
