Korpisalo to Start in Net for Bruins
Korpisalo will start in goal for the Boston Bruins on Thursday at TD Garden as they prepare to face the Ottawa Senators.
Bruins Seek Redemption Against Senators
The Bruins host the Senators aiming to rebound after their 7-2 loss in October. Boston has since won four consecutive games and looks to keep the momentum going in the 7 p.m. matchup.
"It was a pretty bad game from us. That was the first time I didn’t feel any energy on the bench, especially going into the third. We can throw it away, but I also think we learn from it. We can’t take a period or two off because the league is that good. That should be motivation enough for us [today] to show an answer. Because that was not us." – Head coach Marco Sturm
Recent Performance
Boston’s latest victory came on Tuesday at UBS Arena with a 4-3 shootout win over the New York Islanders.
Zacha’s Impact on the Line
Pavel Zacha scored his first power-play goal of the season during the second period, extending his point streak to four games. He centers the Bruins' second line alongside Casey Mittelstadt and Viktor Arvidsson.
"I always think the centerman is always the motor and always the brain on any line. I think [Zacha] took that since he’s back on center – I think he took that line to another level. Not just defensively against top lines, top opponents. But also offensively." – Marco Sturm
Looking Ahead
Coach Sturm emphasized the importance of energy and consistency as the Bruins seek to assert themselves against strong opponents moving forward.
Summary: The Boston Bruins aim to bounce back against the Senators with Korpisalo in goal, driven by lessons learned from past setbacks and leadership from key players like Pavel Zacha.
