Bruins @ Senators

[Alfie11]

- Anderson gets he start

- Probably the biggest game of the season to date. A win here gives the Sens playoff push a massive push in the right direction

[Josh]

Yeah, this one is as important as they come. Same point pace as the division leader and with the team they're facing kicking at the door from behind.

[Matt the Aussie]

HUGE game tonight. We also go out on the road for three games after this, vs. Dallas and Arizona Wed/Thurs then Colorado Sat. Need to bank the points at home. These are 4 teams the Sens should beat but it all starts tonight so need a great start.

[Habs06]

This is a big 4 point game that I will be watching with great interest!

[Jasmine]

No Phaneuf (sick). Expect Claesson to play

Claesson-Karlsson
Methot-Ceci
Borowiecki- Wideman

- Brent Wallace on Twitter

[Alfie11]

Dion is a huge loss. Let's see if someone can step up

[Jasmine]

Change of plans, Phaneuf is in!

[Alfie11]

1-0 Sens a little over a minute in. Brassard with a seeing eye shot

[Alfie11]

Wow, 3 minutes in and it's 2-0 Sens. And of course ... Dion with the point shot. Pageau with the tip.

[Alfie11]

Bruins get one back.

2-1 Sens at the end of the first

[Alfie11]

A dominant period from Ottawa but still only 2-1

[Alfie11]

What a play. Karlsson to Hoffman and it's tipped by Stone. The Sens powerplay finally clicks, and it's 3-1 Sens

[Alfie11]

Marchand on a Bruins powerplay and it's 3-2

[Alfie11]

Burrows into the empty net. Game over. Sens win 4-2.

[Alfie11]

Karlsson is a monster. He was great in February and has looked only better in March. Two assists tonight, some great defensive plays as well.
