Korpisalo to Start in Net for Boston
The Boston Bruins will have Korpisalo in goal on Thursday at TD Garden as they face the Ottawa Senators in a rematch.
Bruins Seek Redemption After October Defeat
The Senators visit Boston following the Bruins' 7-2 loss earlier in October. Since that setback, Boston has bounced back with four consecutive wins and aims to continue their streak in the 7 p.m. game.
“It was a pretty bad game from us. That was the first time I didn’t feel any energy on the bench, especially going into the third. We can throw it away, but I also think we learn from it. We can’t take a period or two off because the league is that good,” said head coach Marco Sturm. “That should be motivation enough for us [today] to show an answer. Because that was not us.”
Recent Bruins Performance
On Tuesday at UBS Arena, Boston secured a 4-3 shootout win over the New York Islanders. Pavel Zacha scored his first power-play goal of the season during the second period, extending his point streak to four games.
Zacha’s Impact on the Second Line
Pavel Zacha centers the Bruins' second line, playing alongside Casey Mittelstadt and Viktor Arvidsson.
Авторское резюме: The Bruins aim to rebound from a heavy loss and continue their winning streak, leaning on Korpisalo in goal and Zacha's leadership at center.“I always think the centerman is always the motor and always the brain on any line,” Sturm said. “I think [Zacha] took that since he’s back on center – I think he took that line to another level. Not just defensively against top lines, top opponents. But also offensively.”
