The Bruins enter Thursday night's game with momentum, having secured four straight victories for the first time this season. Their recent surge comes after a challenging stretch with six losses in a row and seven defeats in eight games.
“It shows the character in our room,” said coach Marco Sturm following Boston's comeback from three one-goal deficits. “We made some mistakes, but I’m glad we came back and won the game.”
The Bruins recently rose above .500 after defeating the Islanders in a shootout on Tuesday. They will face the Ottawa Senators, who are led by captain Brady Tkachuk, currently sidelined due to thumb ligament surgery and expected to miss approximately six weeks.
The Senators will also feature Linus Ullmark, a former Bruins goaltender and 2023 Vezina Trophy winner, now playing for Ottawa.
The Bruins are looking to build on their recent success as they host Ottawa, aiming for their fifth consecutive win to reinforce their renewed confidence.
