The Boston Bruins secured a 3-2 victory over the Ottawa Senators at TD Garden on Thursday, extending their winning streak to five games. Pavel Zacha scored the game-winning goal with just 5.6 seconds left in overtime.
Charlie McAvoy recovered a loose puck in the left corner and skated across the zone before sending a shot from the goal line. Linus Ullmark made the initial save, but the rebound was loose near the right post, allowing Zacha to jam it in.
“It was a big team win,” Zacha said. “Until the end, all the lines were going. Even through injuries, a couple of guys leaving the game, we stuck together and won the game.”
“We’re doing enough right things to hang in games, and if you give yourself a chance you put yourself in a spot to get points,” Kuraly said. “There are still things we want to clean up, but we’re sticking to our systems and we’re eliminating major mistakes that ended up in the back of our net during that losing streak.”
The Bruins have bounced back strongly after a six-game losing streak, showing resilience despite injuries and lineup changes.
