Facing them for the second time on the road trip, the Bruins head into Ottawa for the final game of this six game roadie. Currently 5-0-0 on this trip away from the Garden, the Bruins look to bring out the brooms and sweep Ottawa under the rug, while building their winning streak to a season high 6 games. The Bruins hope to extend their division lead to 8 points over Montreal. Ottawa sold many of their assets at or before the trade deadline as the playoffs have fallen off the table for the club.
If I were Bruins Coach Claude Julien, it would be a no brainer to start Tuukka Rask in net again tonight. This would be effective in two ways...Keep building Tuukka's confidence as he has won three straight starts, and give Tim Thomas more quality rest as the Bruins schedule becomes a whole lot tougher after this contest with Tampa Bay, Pittsburgh and Montreal on the docket in the upcoming week.
Prediction: Again, Ottawa sucks. Although a win is not guaranteed, I am pretty confident the Bruins can take care of business. Bruins 3 - Ottawa 2
