Bruins Secure Fifth Consecutive Win In Overtime Against Ottawa
BOSTON — Just 10 days after a demoralizing 7-2 defeat against the Ottawa Senators, the Boston Bruins returned to TD Garden determined to prove their resilience. On Thursday, they did exactly that by edging out the Senators 3-2 in overtime, marking their fifth straight victory.
Pavel Zacha described the game as a strong motivator:
“It was big motivation for us. 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 with only 5.6 seconds remaining in overtime. The play originated from Charlie McAvoy, who maneuvered skillfully around the attacking zone before sending a shot on net that Zacha redirected for his fourth goal of the season.
