The teams meet for the first time this season and Boston comes into the game after winning five of six although it comes off a 3-2 loss to Carolina on Wednesday when Jordan Martinook scored on a breakaway with 2:27 left for the Hurricanes. It was Boston's first loss in regulation since Jan. 4 against Pittsburgh. Ottawa has won two straight although the Senators still are solidly in last place in the Atlantic Division and they have lost seven of their past 11 games. Jeremy Swayman is likely in net for the Bruins and he is 15-3-7 with a 2.31 goals-against average and a .923 save percentage. Joonas Korpisalo is expected for the Senators with a 10-15-1 record. Ottawa is 2-10 in Thursday games and 1-5 overall after allowing two or fewer goals its previous game. Take the Bruins as a Max Play.
