Another first is on tap for the Boston Bruins. After splitting a back-to-back road trip, Boston opens a three-game homestand with its first Atlantic Division test of the season against the Ottawa Senators on Monday night.
The Boston Bruins are focusing on improving their special teams ahead of Monday's home clash against the Ottawa Senators. Boston split its season-opening road trip, following a 4-3 overtime win against the Winnipeg Jets with a 4-1 loss to the Minnesota Wild. Bruins head coach Marco Sturm noted that special teams proved decisive, with Boston failing to score on six power plays and allowing three goals on seven penalty kills across two games.
Ottawa enters the matchup after securing a 3-2 comeback victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs in its season opener. Senators defenseman Jake Sanderson left that game early due to a lower-body injury, while Stephen Halliday scored the winning goal. Boston expects to start goaltender Jeremy Swayman after Michael DiPietro made 26 saves in Saturday's loss.
