Game 14 Hub: Ottawa Senators @ Boston Bruins
The Senators face a rematch against the Bruins following last week’s 7–2 victory over Boston. After a rare four-day rest during this condensed season, Ottawa has utilized the break to refine strategies in practice ahead of tonight’s game in Boston.
This week, the Senators received extra support as it coincides with the Dad’s trip, where players’ fathers attended meetings and practices. Their presence aims to hold the team accountable and reinforce commitment to the game plan.
Coach Travis Green's Insights
Travis Green addressed the media yesterday, stressing a “sixty-minute mindset” for the upcoming games. He seeks full dedication and cohesion from every player to effectively implement team systems.
Green emphasized significant work on penalty killing and anticipates that these improvements will be evident against the Bruins. The team also focused on 5-on-5 play and passing drills during practice.
“I’m not interested in the past — my focus is on getting the players ready for the next game,” Green said regarding the notion of a November curse.
The Senators are coming off a Saturday loss to the Montreal Canadiens.
Summary
The Senators aim to build on their recent success by staying focused and accountable, with fresh strategies and strong team discipline as they face the Bruins once more.
