The Bruins will try to bounce back from yesterday's 2-1 shootout loss to the New Jersey Devils tonight when they host the Ottawa Senators at TD Garden. Both teams enter tonight's game with 29 points and are tied for first place in the Northeast Division, although the Bruins have played two more games than the Senators. Bruins Head Coach Claude Julien indicated yesterday that Tim Thomas, who missed the last 6 games with a hand injury could return today. Meanwhile, Ottawa is looking for their second straight win after defeating the Columbus Blue Jackets 2-1 on Thanksgiving.

If you are looking for the open thread it will be up at 6:45. I accidentally scheduled it for 7:00 and didn’t realize it until after 6:30. Since you can only schedule it to go up in 25 minute increments, I could only schedule it for 6:45. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Don’t worry about it, the game is 15 minutes later anyhow due to the HNIC shenanigans.
