The Boston Bruins are on a winning streak, having secured four consecutive victories heading into Thursday night's game against the Ottawa Senators. This marks the first time this season the Bruins have achieved such a streak.
After struggling through a tough stretch of six losses in seven games, Boston regained momentum with a shootout win over the New York Islanders on Tuesday, pushing their record above .500. Coach Marco Sturm praised the team's resilience:
“It shows the character in our room. We made some mistakes, but I’m glad we came back and won the game.”
The Bruins will face the Senators at home, welcoming former teammate Linus Ullmark, who won the Vezina Trophy with Boston in 2023.
Ottawa's captain, Brady Tkachuk, missed their last encounter against Boston and is expected to remain sidelined for about six more weeks following thumb ligament surgery.
Both teams are aiming to improve their standings as the season progresses.
