This is a 6* play on the Boston Bruins.

The Bruins ended a three game skid in Arizona a week ago only to book another loss in Chicago Thursday, despite outshooting their opponent 34-21. Today's opponent, the Senators, are even worse for wear though winning only one of their last seven.

Ottawa's struggles have been particularly obvious on the road where they've lost four straight contests finding the net only seven times. If history is indication they better prepare for another loss as they've won only one of the last six meetings in Boston.

Boston's captain Zdeno Chara was back for the game against the Hawks after a knee injury and registered the second most ice time on the team. His presence will be vital for the Bruins, and keep an eye on Brad Marchand who has four goals and three assists in the last five match-ups with Ottawa and five points over hist last three games overall.

The Senators lost 5-3 at Los Angeles two days ago and are 0-5 in their last five games playing on one days rest.

Take BOS.
