The Boston Bruins finish off their regular-season series against the Ottawa Senators on Sunday at TD Garden.

The Bruins beat Ottawa 3-2 in overtime at home on Nov. 6, but they have suffered two heavy road defeats in the matchup this season. The Senators beat Boston 5-3 last month, and a meeting in October ended with a 7-2 victory for Travis Green’s team.

Boston has struggled to replicate its home form on the road all season. Only the league-leading Colorado Avalanche (13) have won more home games than the Bruins (12). Meanwhile, Marco Strum’s team has triumphed only eight times in 17 outings away from home.

Ottawa has been among the NHL’s most inconsistent teams this season, winning back-to-back games only four times. The team has been mediocre offensively, and their goaltending has been disappointing.

Despite having 2023 Vezina Trophy winner Linus Ullmark between the sticks, Ottawa has managed just a .882 save percentage — ranking them above only the Edmonton Oilers and Montreal Canadiens. However, Ullmark is coming into this weekend riding a three-game winning streak and will be eager to make a statement on Sunday after being traded by the Bruins last year.
