Bruins Hold On In Overtime Against Ottawa For Fifth Straight Win
BOSTON — Just 10 days ago, the Boston Bruins faced the Ottawa Senators and suffered a harsh 7-2 defeat, extending a losing streak that threatened to ruin their season before it truly started. When the teams met again on Thursday at TD Garden, the Bruins demonstrated they had transformed, securing a 3-2 overtime win, marking their fifth consecutive victory.
“It was big motivation for us,” Pavel Zacha said. “We lost a game there and lost pretty badly. Before the game, we were motivated to give it back, and I’m happy that we won.”
Zacha scored the decisive goal for Boston with only 5.6 seconds remaining in overtime. After Charlie McAvoy maneuvered around the attacking zone for an extended time, he took a shot on goal that Zacha redirected for his fourth goal of the season.
Boston led 2-1 with fewer than 10 minutes left in the third period before forcing overtime.
