Pavel Zacha scored with 5.6 seconds left in overtime to give the Boston Bruins a 3-2 win over the Ottawa Senators at TD Garden on Thursday. This victory extended Boston’s winning streak to five consecutive games.
Charlie McAvoy recovered a loose puck in the left corner and skated across the zone before shooting along the goal line. Linus Ullmark made the initial save, but the rebound lingered near the right post, where Zacha capitalized by jamming 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 eliminating major mistakes that ended up in the back of our net during that losing streak.”
The Bruins have successfully bounced back from a six-game losing streak in October, showing resilience and improved discipline throughout their current winning streak.
Summary: The Bruins secured a thrilling overtime victory against the Senators, driven by Zacha’s clutch goal and solid team effort despite injuries and recent challenges.
