The Ottawa Senators face a rematch against the Boston Bruins following last week’s 7–2 victory by the Senators. Ottawa recently enjoyed a rare four-day break in this compressed season and used the extra time to focus on strategic practices.
This week’s preparation was unique as it coincided with the team's “Dad’s trip,” allowing players' fathers to attend meetings and practices, boosting accountability and reinforcing the game plan.
Coach Travis Green addressed the media, emphasizing the importance of a “sixty-minute mindset” as the team enters a critical stretch of games. He stressed the need for full commitment from all players and cohesive execution of the team’s systems and strategies.
“I’m not interested in the past — my focus is on getting the players ready for the next game.”
The Senators are coming off a loss to the Montreal Canadiens last Saturday and are now preparing to regain momentum in Boston.
Author’s summary: The Senators, bolstered by extra rest and family support, aim to execute focused strategies and a strong mindset to overcome recent challenges and secure a win against the Bruins.
