The Ottawa Senators are set for a rematch against the Boston Bruins after last week’s dominating 7–2 victory. Following a rare four-day break in their busy schedule, the Sens dedicated the past two days to refining team strategies during practice sessions.
This week’s preparations included the special presence of the players’ fathers as part of the annual Dad’s trip, adding an extra layer of motivation and accountability for the team. Coaches hope this family influence reinforces discipline and focus during the game.
Travis Green emphasized maintaining a full sixty-minute mindset, urging complete team buy-in and coordinated execution of their systems.
Green noted the team has concentrated significant effort on improving their penalty kill and 5-on-5 play, highlighting the importance of smooth passing and teamwork. He expressed optimism that these adjustments will make a visible difference against Boston.
When asked about the so-called November curse, Green dismissed the notion, stating that his attention is fixed on preparing the players for the upcoming challenge, not on past results.
The Senators head into tonight’s game following a setback against the Montreal Canadiens but remain focused and determined to continue their positive momentum against the Bruins.
Ottawa enters a key rematch with Boston, strengthened by focused practices and family support, as Coach Green stresses unity and disciplined, full-game effort.
