Senators play Bruins at TD Garden on October 5, 2026.
The Bruins are 1-0 with two points after one game. The Senators play their first game of the season. Both teams finished last season with 100 points. Boston went 45-27-10, while Ottawa went 44-26-12.
Boston won its only game so far. JJ Peterka scored once in that game, and Hampus Lindholm had one assist. Ottawa has no games in its current-season form sample yet.
The Senators won four of the five meetings last season. Ottawa won 6-2 on December 21, 5-3 on November 13, and 7-2 on October 27. Boston's only win came on November 6, a 3-2 result. Ottawa also won 6-3 in the teams' meeting during the 2024-25 season.
Boston has the early edge because it already has a win this season and will play at home. The Bruins also scored three goals in that opening win, while Peterka and Lindholm have already made an impact. Ottawa's strong record in this matchup gives the Senators a clear reason for confidence, but Boston starts with the firmer base on Monday, October 5.
