Cam Talbot Lifts Ottawa Senators Over Boston Bruins 3-2 in Shootout (Silver Seven)

The 35-year-old capped off this incredible performance with a perfect stretch in the shootout.

He stopped 30 of the 32 shots he faced, which 9 times out of 10 is enough to win the game for a team like the Bruins. Neither team found the back of the net in overtime, but it was by no means for a lack of chances. - The return of Stützle was instrumental in ensuring Ottawa’s top-six was ready to compete tonight.

Smith and the referees agreed after a video review, so the Sens catch a break. Ottawa was outshot 7-3 early, but two of their shots were breakaway attempts — including a between-the-legs attempt from Brady Tkachuk which to the surprise of nobody was stopped by Jeremy Swayman.
