Senators Skate into TD Garden: A Duel with the Bruins

As the Ottawa Senators lace up for their next challenge at TD Garden, fans are eager to see if they can turn around their recent performance trends. The Senators have shown a mix of resilience and vulnerability in their past few games, which could play a crucial role in their upcoming clash against the Boston Bruins.

In their last three outings, the Senators' record has been less than stellar. They suffered an overtime loss to the Los Angeles Kings despite a strong showing that led them to notch three goals and 31 shots on goal. Their faceoff win percentage stood at an even 50 percent, but they were outplayed in terms of hits and blocked shots.

The game against the Anaheim Ducks saw Ottawa take another hit with only one goal scored on 30 shots. Although they managed to maintain a higher faceoff win percentage at 60 percent, it wasn't enough to secure victory as they fell short by one point.

Their encounter with the Philadelphia Flyers highlighted some defensive struggles as well. Despite putting up two goals from 26 shots and winning over half of their faceoffs (57 percent), they conceded four goals on even strength – ultimately losing by two points.

One positive trend for Ottawa has been goaltending; save percentages have consistently been high across these matches, indicating solid performances between the pipes that could be pivotal against Boston's offensive firepower.

Looking ahead to March 19th at TD Garden, fans can catch this exciting matchup live on ESPN+ or NESN starting at 7:00 PM ET. The Senators will need to leverage every bit of tenacity and skill if they hope to emerge victorious from this storied hockey battleground.
