Boston Bruins Team Overview
The visitors had a disastrous second half of October, suffering six consecutive defeats, including three on home ice. This understandably dropped the club to the bottom of the Eastern Conference. However, their scoring prowess stands out in stark contrast to their table neighbors-outside the top eight in the conference, Boston have netted more goals than anyone else (32).

🏒 Projected Lineups
Ottawa: Ullmark - Zub, Sanderson - Batherson, Stützle, Cousins
Boston: Swayman - Zadorov, McAvoy - Geekie, Lindholm, Pastrnak
🥅 Goaltenders
Ottawa's netminder Linus Ullmark has yet to impress with his performance. The Swedish goalie is saving just 87% of shots on average. After a relatively successful season last year, much more was expected from him.
Boston's goaltender Jeremy Swayman is gradually improving his stats recently. The American is saving 90.9% of shots on average, marking a significant improvement after a rocky start.
Editorial Prediction
Almost every game involving the visitors turns into a goal fest, with at least five goals scored in Boston's last seven matches in a row. This is not just due to their strong offensive play but also their noticeably weak defense. Meanwhile, the hosts are more than willing to keep up the pace and capitalize on their opportunities. Our bet is on over 5.5 goals.
