Preview:
The Bruins and Senators are obviously coming off a game that was highly in Boston's favor after the first period and a half. Though sluggish to start, the Bruins found their legs and were able to grab one goal in the second period then four in the third, including two by Reilly Smith and a beautiful shorthanded tally by Brad Marchand.
The Bruins are converting on the power play at a rate of 22.6 percent - good for fifth best in the league, after 38 games. For comparison, last year's Bruins, after 48 games, were converting at a rate of 14.8 percent, good for....yes, 26th. Incredible to see the turnaround this year.
There is a very good chance we see Niklas Svedberg's NHL debut tonight; on the flip side, Dennis Seidenberg did not make the trip to Ottawa, meaning it's likely David Warsofsky will get another callup. Will tonight be the night Ryan Spooner gets his first NHL goal - in front of family and friends in Kanata?
NEVER FORGET:
Oh Reilly Smith's shooting percentage is unsustainable you say? Watch how much he cares.
