Senators Test Their Resilience Against High-Flying Stars In Game 37
Introduction
Ottawa Senators will face one of their toughest challenges of the season on Saturday night when they host the high-flying Boston Bruins in Game 37. The Bruins are currently first in the NHL standings with a record of 33-4-4, while the Senators are 13th in the Eastern Conference with a record of 16-17-4. Boston has won the last two meetings between the two teams, including a 5-2 victory earlier this season in Ottawa.
The Senators’ Challenge
The Senators will need to be at their best to have a chance of beating the Bruins. Ottawa has been struggling offensively this season, averaging just 2.73 goals per game, which is 29th in the NHL. The Senators will also need to be strong defensively against a Bruins team that is averaging 4.04 goals per game.
One of the biggest challenges for the Senators will be stopping Bruins center David Pastrnak. Pastrnak is one of the most dangerous players in the NHL, and he is coming off a game in which he scored two goals and added an assist. The Senators will need to find a way to limit Pastrnak’s scoring chances if they want to have a chance of winning.
The Bruins’ Strengths
The Bruins are a well-rounded team with no real weaknesses. They have a strong offense, a solid defense, and a reliable goaltender in Tuukka Rask. The Bruins are also one of the most physical teams in the NHL, and they are not afraid to use their size to their advantage.
One of the Bruins’ biggest strengths is their power play. Boston has the second-best power play in the NHL, and they are converting on 31.1% of their chances. The Senators will need to be disciplined and stay out of the penalty box if they want to avoid giving up power-play goals to the Bruins.
Prediction
The Bruins are a heavy favorite in this game, and it is hard to see the Senators pulling off the upset. However, the Senators have shown some signs of improvement lately, and they will be playing in front of their home crowd. If the Senators can get a good start and limit the Bruins’ scoring chances, they may have a chance to win.
