Notes on the game.

Presidents’ Day matinee at the TD Garden features the Boston Bruins taking on the Ottawa Senators!
The Senators are coming off a back-to-back, just like the New York Islanders on Saturday, so the Bruins might have the advantage again today.
The two clubs are playing each other three times this season. When it comes to the Senators, the Bruins are 0-1-1. In both games, Ottawa has given the Bruins a serious competition. On December 27, 2022, the Bruins faced the Sens for the first time and lost 3-2 in a shootout.
Less than four minutes into the third period of the December game, Pavel Zacha scored the game-tying goal to pull the Bruins closer to the Senators, 2-1. The lone shootout goal, scored by Alex DeBrincat, gave his.

In their most recent game, the Bruins defeated the Islanders 6-2 on Saturday. Trent Frederic had two goals, with goals coming from Jake DeBrusk, Nick Foligno, Patrice Bergeron, and Zacha. In the win, Ullmark made 26 saves.
In the Bruins’ victory on Saturday, Bergeron scored his 20th goal of the year, making him the only player to reach that milestone thus far. David Pastrnak is in front of him with 39 goals. With 17 goals apiece, Brad Marchand and DeBrusk are next in line. With his 20th goal, Bergeron has reached that milestone for the tenth year in a row and the 14th season in total.

Yesterday, the Senators defeated the St. Louis Blues 7-2. Stutzle scored two goals. Tkachuk and DeBrincat each had two assists and three points from a goal. Shane Pinto, Drake Batherson, and Giroux all had two-point games.
This afternoon, there will be a special teams competition. After scoring in their last two games, the Bruins power play is starting to pick up steam and is presently ranked eighth in the league. The man advantage for the B is 24.3%. At 26.1%, the Sens currently boast the third-best power play.
Due to injury, Cam Talbot and Anton Forsberg are not available for the Senators in goal. Mandolese and Sogaard, two youthful goalies, have been keeping the pipes clean. They have a combined record of 3-0-1.

Yesterday, the Senators made a transaction in which they received Julien Gauthier and a conditional seventh-round pick in 2023 from the New York Rangers in exchange for Tyler Motte.
Charlie McAvoy has five assists in his past three games, and Zacha has scored four goals in his past five games for the Bruins. In his last four games for Ottawa, Stutzle has four goals and six assists.
