The Senators face the Bruins again after last week’s 7–2 defeat. Ottawa had a rare four-day break in this condensed season and used the time to focus on team strategies during practice.
This week coincides with the Dad’s trip, where players’ fathers attend meetings and practices. This added presence aims to keep the Senators accountable and focused on sticking to the game plan.
Speaking to the media, Travis Green stressed a "sixty-minute mindset" as the team’s guiding principle for the upcoming games. He expects full commitment from all players and seamless execution of the team’s systems, honed over recent practices.
Green noted particular attention to penalty kill improvements along with 5-on-5 play and passing drills. When asked about the so-called November curse, he dismissed concerns about past struggles and emphasized focusing on preparing the players for the next game.
"My focus is on getting the players ready for the next game."
The Senators are coming off a loss to the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night and aim to regroup for their matchup in Boston.
Summary: The Senators are determined to rebound with disciplined, full-game effort and strategic adjustments, supported by extra accountability during the Dad’s trip.
