Two nights after their first meeting of the season, a Senators 3-1 win, the Bruins and Sens face off once again, this time in Boston.
The biggest difference in the lineups for game will be that the Bruins will be without centre David Krejci for the entire game as he is now listed as week to week after the relatively harmless looking collision with Bobby Ryan on Sunday night forced him out of that game in the second period.
The other big difference will be the venue. Ottawa started out well on the road but they have gone just 1-6-1 in their last 8 road contests, although they are coming off an OT loss to the Panthers in their last road game. Boston has lost their last 2 at home, but one part of their game that isn't struggling at home is the penalty kill. They have killed off their last 17 disadvantages at TD Garden.
It looks like it will be Craig Anderson vs Tuukka Rask once again in the net for their respective clubs. Both played well in Sunday's encounter and Anderson will probably be called upon again to hold the fort. Ottawa has scored first in two of the last 3 games they have played so that is a trend the would like to continue, but if getting the first two isn't too much to ask then that would be a positive too.
