Game Highlights

Joonas Korpisalo stopped 20 shots for Ottawa. Despite being outshot 9-2 early, the Senators took the initial lead after Shane Pinto assisted Amadio on a 2-on-1 break, with Amadio quickly shooting past Korpisalo’s glove.

Just 82 seconds into the second period, Geekie evened the score by poking home a loose puck off Andrew Peeke’s point shot for his 10th goal of the season. Kuraly then put Boston ahead 2-1 with a wrist shot deflected past goalie Ullmark, capitalizing on a defensive lapse by the Senators who focused too much on Tanner Jeannot along the boards.

Giroux tied the game at 11:52 of the third period with a wrist shot from the left faceoff dot that slipped just over Korpisalo’s goal line.

“After a back-and-forth overtime period, Zacha banged home a loose puck with less than six seconds left to give the Bruins the 3-2 win.”
