Game Notez:

• Boston is on a six game winning streak. Fun times!
• Boston will be without Brad Marchand for the remainder of the Regular season, obviously.
• Ottawa however, will be without Erik Karlsson as he battles a lower body injury.
• In fact, Ottawa has been having all sorts of issues staying healthy as players have been dropping left and right. They’re without Bobby Ryan, Codi Ceci, and a host of other players.
• Ottawa did win their last game over Detroit 2-0.
• Tuukka Rask has been phenominal over his past few starts, and given the implications will probably start for Boston.
• Craig Anderson will also probably be starting as he too has been pretty good for the Red, Black and White team.
• Both teams hate each other and I really don’t like the Sens. Win so they can get the monkey off their back.

NEVER 4GET:

Both teams HATE each other:
