Need to Know: Bruins vs. Senators | Boston Bruins

Upcoming Game and Key Player

Korpisalo will start as the goaltender for Boston Thursday at TD Garden.

Recent Performance and Motivation

The Boston Bruins aim to prove themselves after a 7-2 loss to the Senators on October 7. Since then, they have won four consecutive games and seek to extend their winning streak.

Reflections on the Last Match

"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.

Recent Victory

Boston's latest win was a 4-3 shootout against the New York Islanders on Tuesday at UBS Arena. Pavel Zacha scored his first power-play goal of the season, extending his point streak to four games.

Lineup and Player Roles

Zacha centers the second line with Casey Mittelstadt and Viktor Arvidsson. Sturm emphasized the importance of the centerman, stating:

"I always think the centerman is always the motor and always the brain on any line. 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."

Author's summary: The Bruins aim to recover from a tough loss, relying on Korpisalo in goal and strong line play, especially from Zacha, to improve performance against the Senators.
