Boston Bruins vs Ottawa Senators Prediction - 11/13/2025
Updated July 9, 2026
The Boston Bruins will pay a visit to the Ottawa Senators on Thursday night. This game carries major early-season implications in the Atlantic Division, with both teams entering this contest in the top three in the Atlantic standings. Will the Bruins' hot streak continue, or will the Sens cool them off? Here, I make my Bruins vs Senators prediction before the puck is dropped in this important game from Ottawa.
The Bruins are riding a strong wave of results, having won their last five games. They’ve tightened up defensively and found timely scoring, making them dangerous here despite being away from home. Boston's recent hot streak has propelled them into a tie for the most points in the Atlantic Division so far this season.
The Senators have been inconsistent. They have had some success at home, going 5‑2-2 on home ice. But the Sens have dropped three of their last five games and sit in third place in the Atlantic. Four of Ottawa's last five games have gone to overtime and they will look for a more straightforward win here.
Jeremy Swayman will go between the pipes for the Bruins in this contest. Swayman has a 3.08 GAA this season and has been far from great early in the year. But he's done enough to help the Bruins string some wins together of late. The Sens will turn to Linus Ullmark in the crease. He has also had his struggles this season, entering this matchup with a 3.21 GAA and a disappointing .870 save percentage.
Both squads are capable of lighting up the scoreboard. Boston's David Pastrnak has 22 points (10 goals, 12 assists) through 18 games and Morgan Geekie leads the Bruins with 11 goals. Ottawa’s top skater is Drake Batherson with 17 points (6 goals, 11 assists) and the young Tim Stützle has 16 points, including a team-high 8 goals.
Player | Prop |
|---|---|
David Pastrnak (Boston) | Over 0.5 points |
Morgan Geekie (Boston) | Anytime goal scorer |
Drake Batherson (Ottawa) | Over 0.5 points |
Score Projection: Boston Bruins 4 – Ottawa Senators 3
Win Probability: Senators 45% │ Bruins 55%
These teams have been evenly matched against one another so far this season. But I think that the Bruins have the upper hand in this contest. Look for the B's to continue their current winning streak thanks to an attack that has put things together nicely thanks to the emergence of Geekie on the attack. I'll take the Bruins as a moneyline underdog here.
