Brad Marchand went a little too far in trying to get an opponent hot under the collar. The well-know Bruins agitator put his hand around the neck of Senators forward Nick Cousins in the first period of Boston’s 2-0 win Thursday night.

Is there a genuine debate about who should back up Linus Ullmark when he's healthy enough to play again? Could the Senators lean on both?

The Ottawa Senators were unable to find the back of the net as they fell to the Boston Bruins by a score of 2-0.

The Ottawa Senators were blanked by former goaltender Joonas Korpisalo as the Boston Bruins win 2-0 to secure the third Atlantic Division spot. Two minutes into the second period, Morgan Geekie got a shot past Anton Forsberg for the forward’s 13th of the season.

Joonas Korpisalo made 29 saves against his former team, David Pastrnak set up Morgan Geekie’s goal and added an empty-netter and the Boston Bruins beat the Ottawa Senators 2-0 on Thursday night.

At that point, with Anton Forsberg and Leevi Merilainen, the Senators will have three available goalies. This just in: there isn't room on the bench for two backup goalies.

When trying to hold first place in the Atlantic Division, the Maple Leafs can echo Shakespeare’s line: “Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown”. It took only Wednesday and Saturday losses last week to teams not in the conference’s top eight at the time,

The Ottawa Senators are in a seesaw battle for one of two Eastern Conference wildcard spots in the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Not only that, but they are just two points behind the Boston Bruins for third place in the Atlantic Division with two games in hand.

After years of instability, the Ottawa Senators may have finally figured out their defence. The team allows an average of just 2.79 goals per game, the seventh-lowest in the NHL.
