Sean's EARLY NHL SATURDAY POWER PLAY! 319-227 RUN!

Ottawa Senators (22-18-4) vs Boston Bruins (22-19-5)

Saturday, January 18, 2025 at 3:00 pm

My selection is on Ottawa over Boston at 3:05 pm ET on Saturday.

The Bruins come into this matchup riding the momentum of consecutive victories and have benefitted from three days of rest. However, this contest shapes up as a tough road test, and I believe the Senators are well-positioned to pull off the upset.

Ottawa saw its three-game winning streak snapped in a 1-0 overtime loss to Washington on Thursday, but that performance was more about goaltending and puck luck than any major issues with the Senators' play. They remain a solid 11-7-2 on home ice this season and should come out hungry to rebound.

Boston, meanwhile, has struggled away from home, posting a lackluster 9-12-2 record. While the Bruins have shown flashes of their potential, their road inconsistencies could be exposed against a Senators squad that has proven it can compete with quality opposition on home ice.

Look for Ottawa to lean on its defensive structure and capitalize on Boston's road woes to come away with a crucial victory.

Take Ottawa. Projected score: Ottawa 3, Boston 2.
