Game 14 Hub: Ottawa Senators @ Boston Bruins
The Ottawa Senators face a rematch against the Boston Bruins after last week's 7–2 defeat. The Senators had a rare four-day break in this condensed schedule and used the time to refine their team strategies in practice.
This week is special for the Senators as it is the Dad’s trip, with players' fathers attending meetings and practices. This added support aims to keep the team accountable and focused on the game plan.
Coach Travis Green’s Perspective
"Sixty-minute mindset" will be the team's mantra for the upcoming games, emphasizing full commitment and cohesiveness to execute their systems and strategies.
Green emphasized the focus on penalty kill improvements, hoping these adjustments will be clear against the Bruins. He also noted that the team practiced 5-on-5 play and passing drills extensively.
When asked about the so-called November curse, Green dismissed concerns about the past, focusing solely on preparing the players for the next challenge.
The Senators come into this game following a loss to the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night.
Summary
The Senators are determined to rebound by focusing on disciplined play, guided by their coach's call for total focus and the added motivation of family support during the Dad’s trip.
