The Ottawa Senators play their final home game before a three-game road trip tomorrow afternoon when they take on the Boston Bruins at 3:00 p.m. ET.

Knocking on the door along with Ottawa are perennial Atlantic Division also-rans Montreal and Detroit. Also in the Eastern Conference mix are the Columbus Blue Jackets, who hopped over the Bruins in the standings on Thursday and are everyone’s sentimental favorite in this surprise run after the Johnny Gaudreau tragedy last summer.

Kicking off a busy end-of-January stretch for both teams, the Ottawa Senators host the Boston Bruins in a key Saturday afternoon clash of clubs on the Eastern Conference playoff bubble.

Ullmark has been out of Ottawa's lineup since Dec. 22 when he left a game after one period of play in Edmonton with back tightness. It sounded precautionary at the time but turned out to be reasonably serious. This is Ullmark's second stint on the injury list. He missed a couple of weeks of action back in mid-October.

Considering the Bruins’ tenuous position in the Eastern Conference playoff bracket and the number of long-time DNQs finally making their postseason push, it is hard to see any

The Boston Bruins had good news and bad news this morning at practice at Warrior Ice Arena. Forward Mark Kastelic was back at practice in a non-contact red jersey.

Sidney Morin scored her second goal during the opening minutes of overtime to lead the Boston Fleet to an impressive 2-1 win against the Ottawa Charge in front of a sold-out crowd of 9,862 fans at TD Place Arena.

Boston was far less physical than usual, totaling just five hits in what was their fourth straight overtime game across 10 days, but found a way to win via Aerin Frankel and Morin.
