Leevi Merilainen guarded the Sens' cage in the recent beatdown of the Bruins, but Ullmark is expected to get the call on Thursday. The veteran won both starts against his old mates last season, making 14 saves in November's 3-2 overtime win, and 22 saves in a 6-3 victory in March.

Pavel Zacha poked in a rebound with 6 seconds left in overtime and Joonas Korpisalo made 20 saves to lead the Bruins to their fifth straight win, 3-2 over the Senators.

Marat Khustnutdinov, who took a few shifts at top-line center after Elias Lindholm left the game, scored his first goal in overtime.

Marat Khusnutdinov tied it late in the third period and had the lone shootout goal, helping the Boston Bruins beat the New York Islanders 4-3 on Tuesday night for their fourth straight victory.
