Boston and Ottawa will jockey for position in the Atlantic when they drop the puck in one of only two games going on in the NHL tonight. These divisional opponents haven’t faced off yet this season but the Senators left the Bruins scratching their heads as they took three of four matchups last year, outscoring the Bruins 14-10.
- The Senators are 7-2 in their last 9 games against teams with winning records.
- The Bruins are 13-0 in their last 13 games after losing as a favorite.
- The Bruins are 7-1 against Eastern Conference opponents when Tuukka Rask has started.
Boston has been thriving on the road this year and that’s a trend that does not bode well for the Sens tonight as the Bruins have taken 15 of the last 21 games in this matchup when they’ve squared off north of the border.
Craig Anderson and the Sens are coming off a big momentum win against the first-place Canadiens but have been struggling mightily to score goals of late and have potted three or more just twice since October 25.
Beating the best goalie in the world four times in their last game was probably good for Ottawa’s confidence but the Senators did so on just 23 shots. Tuukka Rask has a .958 save percentage in road games this year and has not lost a game when his opponents have fired fewer than 24 shots his way.
