The Ottawa Senators are set for a rematch against the Boston Bruins after last week’s decisive 7–2 victory. Following a rare four-day break in their packed schedule, the team used the past two days to refine their strategies in preparation for the game in Boston. The Bruins, meanwhile, aim to rebound from that tough loss.
This week marks the team’s traditional Dad’s trip, giving players extra motivation as their fathers joined team meetings and practices. Coaches hope the presence of family will encourage sharper focus and discipline on the ice.
Travis Green emphasized a “sixty-minute mindset” as his mantra, calling for total commitment and unity from all players throughout every game.
He noted that the Senators had dedicated extensive practice time to penalty killing and 5-on-5 play, stressing that these improvements should be evident in the matchup against Boston. Green also dismissed talk of a “November curse,” insisting that his attention remains firmly on preparing for the next contest.
The Senators enter this game following a loss to the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night, eager to get back on track and maintain momentum against a motivated Bruins team.
The Senators face Boston again after dominating last week, focusing on execution and discipline under Travis Green’s leadership, with support from their fathers on the team’s trip.
