Pavel Zacha scored with 5.6 seconds left in overtime, giving the Boston Bruins a 3-2 win over the Ottawa Senators at TD Garden on Thursday. This victory marked the Bruins' fifth consecutive win.
Charlie McAvoy recovered a loose puck in the left corner and skated across the zone to send a shot along the goal line. Linus Ullmark made the initial save, but the rebound remained near the right post, where Zacha capitalized and scored.
“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 bounced back from a six-game losing streak earlier in the season, showing renewed focus and resilience.
Summary: The Boston Bruins continue their strong form with a clutch late OT goal from Pavel Zacha to secure their fifth straight victory, highlighting team perseverance despite challenges.
