Drake Batherson leads Ottawa with 17 points, while Tim Stutzle and Shane Pinto are the leading goal scorers with 8 goals each.

Keys to the Game

The Bruins have been strong on the attack, averaging 3.39 goals per game, but need to tighten up their blue line. The Senators have been solid on attack, averaging 3.35 goals per game, but are giving up too much at the other end, allowing 3.59 goals against per game. Boston has the NHL's eighth-ranked power play at 25 percent. Ottawa's power play is also strong at 24.1%, but their penalty kill is the worst in the NHL at 67.4%.

Prediction

Despite the Senators being favored at home, the Bruins are riding a hot streak and have won their last seven games as underdogs. Boston defeated the Maple Leafs 5-3. The final score prediction is a 4-2 win for the Boston Bruins.
