The Ottawa Senators have been performing well on the road, winning three out of their last four games, while the Boston Bruins have had a mixed record at home, splitting their last four games. Despite being shut out in their last game, the Senators hold an advantage in this match-up due to their strong offensive performance in previous road games, scoring a total of nine goals. Additionally, Ottawa excels in special teams, converting over 22 percent of their power play opportunities. In contrast, the Bruins rank 25th in penalty kills and have struggled defensively, giving up 11 goals in their last three road games.
