The Boston Bruins close out the regular season against the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday.
The Boston Bruins (47-19-15) look to bounce back on Tuesday against the Ottawa Senators (36-41-4) after a loss and head into the playoffs with some momentum. Boston has the opportunity to move up from third place in the Eastern Conference with a win today and a loss by the Carolina Hurricanes after winning the series 2-1 this season. While Boston is trying to finish as high as second place in the playoffs, Ottawa has the opportunity to play spoiler after being eliminated from the playoffs. If Ottawa upsets Boston today and the Florida Panthers also win, that would drop Boston down to fourth place when the playoffs begin.

This season Boston has won both games against Ottawa with one game going to overtime and the other a one-sided blowout. Boston has the opportunity to sweep the season series with Ottawa and finish with 111 points.
In the most recent game between the teams a month ago, Boston cruised to a 6-2 win over Ottawa. David Pastrnak started off the game with back-to-back goals and added one more for the hat trick in the third period. Justin Brazeau finished with two goals and Jesper Bogvist added one more in an offensive onslaught.
Another performance like that from Boston will allow the team to control its fate heading into the playoffs as the third seed and potentially the second seed in the Eastern Conference. The higher the seed the better the opportunity for Boston to avoid a third straight first round exit from the playoffs this season.
