Ottawa has a winning record both home and away and has taken control of the series, up 2-1 after dropping Game 1 at home. The Bruins stole Game 1, 2-1, but became the first team in 23 years to win a playoff game without registering a shot on goal in a period. But Ottawa has stormed back to win the last two contests by 4-3 scores. Boston continues to have depth problems and injuries. The Bruins played through a rash of injuries in the first two games, and were missing defensemen Adam McQuaid, Torey Krug, Brandon Carlo and Colin Miller on Monday. The Senators outshot the Bruins 10-3 in the first, taking advantage of several defensive breakdowns. The Senators are healthier, 15-6 playing on one day of rest, plus 9-3 after a victory. Ottawa has also won eight of the last nine meetings, including four straight at Boston. The wagering value is on Ottawa to win the game or lose by one goal. Play Ottawa on the puckline in Game 4.
