"The B's extended their winning streak to five games after Pavel Zacha's goal beat the clock with 5.5 seconds left in overtime, lifting the B's to a 3-2 win over the Ottawa Senators at the Garden on Thursday. Charlie McAvoy carried the puck in deep and got the puck on goalie Linus Ullmark and it trickled through him. Zacha stuck with it and tapped home the GWG, giving the B's their fourth win in as many tries in extra time this year."
"But the B's quickly gave it right back when Shane Pinto outworked three Bruins on the penalty kill in front of the Boston net and drew a slashing penalty from Zacha. The Sens went back on the attack on the 4-on-4 and then evened the game on the power play when through a screen, Claude Giroux's shot from the left wing broke through Joonas Korpisalo and leaked over the goal line with 8:08 left in regulation."
"It was a solid opening 40 minutes for the B's. The good news for the Bruins was that they held a commanding 9-2 advantage in shots on goal over the Senators in the first period. The bad news? The first shot the B's allowed was of the high danger variety and it wound up in the back of the net."
The Boston Bruins extended their winning streak to five games with a 3-2 overtime victory after Pavel Zacha scored with 5.5 seconds left in OT. Charlie McAvoy carried the puck deep, forcing a trickle through Linus Ullmark that Zacha tapped in for the game-winner. Boston led 2-1 entering the third period, conceded a power-play equalizer by Claude Giroux through a screen, and saw momentum swings including Shane Pinto drawing a slashing penalty while killing a penalty. The Bruins dominated early shot totals, holding a 9-2 edge in the first, while a defensive lapse produced Ottawa's opening goal.
