Game 44 Hub: Ottawa Senators vs Boston Bruins
Just a *bit* tougher than the Habs and Sharks this time.
Photo by maxx ❄ / UnsplashHow quickly things change. Sure, the Ottawa Senators still don't have much chance at any successful season at this point. However, with the way they've been playing over the last 5 games, I may start watching them again.
The Boston Bruins are still scary, leading the East with a 29-9-9 record but the circumstances are as in favour of the Sens as they can be with a matchup like this.
First, it's not a road game, in which they typically suck.
Second, the Bruins played last night at home, against the Carolina Hurricanes, a team that's notorious for hemming even the toughest teams in their zone for 80 minutes a game.
Third, – nope, never mind, I've only got the two.
Here are the projected lines, with Joonas Korpisalo likely starting in goal:
