![]() ![]() This group may well rely on their power play success to try to get the edge here today, sitting at the third best mark in the league at 26.1% that could be the difference maker. Coming into today the Senators boast three 50-point scorers, in Claude Giroux (52), Tim Stützle (59) and Brady Tkachuk (60), with Alex DeBrincat (48) and Drake Batherson (47) not far behind. That being said, the Senators have not been known to shy away from any opponent this season no matter their stature. On top of all of that Boston is the least scored on team in the NHL at 2.07 goals against per game. On top of that Boston boasts nine, yes nine, skaters with more than 30 points through 55 games. Largely due to the fact that they are the second highest scoring offence at 3.73 goals per game le by pesky David Pastrnak with 39 goals. ![]() Sitting atop the league with a whopping 89 points, Boston has been nearly unstoppable at home this season, going 22-2-3 so far. While their past victories are all well and good, rest assured both sides are checking that information at the door and coming into this game with a blank slate. ![]() The Senators were the first of only two teams to beat Boston twice this season, the other being Florida. The first two games saw the Senators walk away victorious, first in a 7-5 victory in their home opener then right after the holiday they pulled out a 3-2 shootout victory at Canadian Tire Centre. For the third time this season, and first time in Boston, the Senators are set to face the league leading Bruins this afternoon. ![]()
