I thought they would step up last game and they let me down. The Bruins do have a chance to end their funk tonight, because they have owned Ottawa all season, and are just a much better team all around.
Boston is 3-6-1 in their last 10 games, and just seem to have no luck of late. From Thomas breaking his mask, to Manny Fernandez forgetting how to play goalie, losing a puck in his pads and scoring on himself. The good news is Boston is still 6 points up on New Jersey for first place in the East, and they are 3-0 against Ottawa this year. Kessel and Krecji will be playing, and you would hope that they have to get hot again soon.
Tim Thomas has won his last five starts versus Ottawa, two of them shutouts at home, compiling a 0.99 goals-against average and a .961 save percentage in those outings. I would think he would be in net, but we shall see.
The bad news is Ottawa is actually playing really well of late winning four straight. Still, I just believe this Bruins team is too good to stay down for too long, but we will see at 7pm on NESN.
