The Bruins start a 4 game homestand tonight, and although that sounds like good news the Bruins have been anything but stellar at the Garden this year (9-7-3). The good news is the Bruins have earned at least a point in eight of their last nine going 5-1-3 during that stretch.
The Senators are not a good team, so one would think the Bruins would take care of business, but you just never know what kind of effort you are going to get from them (one of the reasons I'm not a big Julien fan). Ottawa has only scored 7 goals during their current 5 game losing streak. Offensive improvement may be difficult for the Senators against Boston, which has allowed an NHL-low 88 goals (2.15 per game). Likely starter Tim Thomas is 12-3-1 with a 1.52 goals-against average in his last 16 starts against Ottawa.
Usually, I say that the Bruins offense is the key, and it is against tonight, but 2-3 goals should be enough. So, I see a win once again for the Bruins tonight.
Boston wins 3-1
Player of the Game: Tim Thomas
Game starts at 7pm on NESN.
