Head-to-head statistics Boston - Ottawa
Boston Bruins Team Overview
Boston are facing a minor crisis: the team have lost their last two home games and have now slipped out of the playoff zone. Losing a third consecutive home game is not an option, so Marco Sturm's squad will do everything possible to secure a win. But can they pull it off? It will be tough, as Boston have failed to defeat the Canadiens in their last four meetings.
The Bruins are also conceding a lot, averaging over three goals per game this season. Moreover, Boston are overly reliant on their star players, David Pastrnak and Morgan Geekie. If they're not in form, the whole team could struggle. It's going to be a challenging task.
Match Results: Boston Bruins
Ottawa Senators Team Overview
The Senators are in solid form, having won four of their last five games, showcasing confident play both at home and on the road with an average scoring rate of 3.26 goals per game. However, Ottawa's defense can be shaky at times, conceding an average of three goals per match. Ottawa's strength lies in their ability to capitalize on opportunities, even against more experienced opponents, and they excel at this particularly on home ice.
Currently, Ottawa trails the playoff zone by three points. With only a few games left in the regular season, the Canadians need to secure points in every match. This is especially crucial when playing at home against less consistent opponents.
