The Bruins missed their chance to wrap up the Atlantic last night in Washington when getting blanked for the first time in more than two months. Now, a result is needed in the reg-season finale to assure top spot in the division with the Panthers still close behind, but expect a quick recovery tonight, as Boston has only lost back-to-back once in almost two months. Meanwhile, based on last night's effort at MSG, Ottawa seems unlikely to pull a big effort out of its hat, and note the Sens were blasted 6-2 in their last visit to TD Garden four weeks ago, when David Pastrnak bamboozled them with a hat trick.

Boston blew its chance tonight to clinch the Atlantic Division title but can do so with a win against the Senators, who completely mailed it in Monday in a 4-0 loss at the Rangers and have no reason not to do the same Tuesday. A division crown would guarantee home-ice advantage for Boston until at least the conference finals. Likely B's goalie Linus Ullmark has won three straight.
