Ottawa Senators' goaltender Leevi Merilainen is set to start against the Boston Bruins, according to reports. Merilainen, who was recalled from AHL for this game, previously surrendered seven goals in an October 15 loss to Buffalo but has shown resilience with a win in his recent appearances. The Senators are riding a three-game winning streak, including a dominant 7-2 victory over the Bruins, where Drake Batherson and Tim Stutzle each scored two goals and an assist. Ottawa has now won three straight and holds a 5-4-1 record, with strong power play performance (4-for-5). Meanwhile, the Bruins have struggled recently, losing seven of their last eight games, and are currently 4-7-0. The upcoming game marks a significant moment for Merilainen as he aims to secure his first win of the season and help the Senators continue their winning streak.
