Senators at Bruins: Boston Seeks Fifth Straight Win
The Boston Bruins are entering Thursday night's game riding a four-game winning streak, their longest this season. After a rough patch that included losing six games in a row, Boston bounced back with a shootout victory over the Islanders on Tuesday, improving their record to above .500.
“It shows the character in our room,” coach Marco Sturm said. “We made some mistakes, but I’m glad we came back and won the game.”
The Bruins will play host to the Ottawa Senators and face former teammate Linus Ullmark, who won the Vezina Trophy with Boston in 2023.
Senators captain Brady Tkachuk missed the previous game against the Bruins and is expected to remain sidelined for about six weeks following thumb ligament surgery.
