Boston Bruins

Alex DeBrincat had the only goal of the shootout Tuesday night as the Ottawa Senators snapped a three-game slide with a 3-2 win over the Boston Bruins.

… Erik Brannstrom was a scratch for the Senators Tuesday while A.J. Tuesday was the second meeting of the season between the two teams. The Bruins got that goal back just over two minutes later as DeBrusk’s first shot was wide but hit the end boards and bounced back onto his stick as he was about to circle the net.

The Senators aim to snap a three-game losing streak as they host the red-hot Bruins.

After a four-game winning streak returned the Ottawa Senators to .500 for the first time since October, Ottawa has now dropped three in a row and tonight host the Boston Bruins with the NHL’s best record in tow. The Bruins offense has been explosive this season scoring a league-high 130 goals and having netted three or more goals in 12 of their last 13 games. 18th as the Senators jumped out to an early 3-0 lead with goals from Claude Giroux and Brady Tkachuk.

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. It appears the main reason Ottawa’s kill looked so good before was the success in the face-off circle and disruption of zone entries. And it wasn’t like the Bruins were going to stop pushing after that tying goal, either. Specifically, they had the first seven shots on goal in the period, and many of these were taken off a strong forecheck, picking off the Bruins’ clearing attempts. What makes it even more ridiculous, however, is that more than half of those were allowed in the final 5 minutes of the game. With Ottawa still ahead by a goal and doing a respectable job on defense, Travis Hamonic took a hooking penalty on Taylor Hall, sending Boston to their third power-play of the evening. The team’s defensive structure vastly improved too, with the shot count going from 14-8 Boston to 21-20 Ottawa by the end of 40 minutes, with the good guys up 2-1. 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. Despite defending for most of the frame at 5-on-5, they made up for it with their special teams play.

Boston looks to start off back-to-back road trip on high note in Ottawa.

They are a good mix, they are a good team." "It's a little unique, a little different," said Bergeron. "I think it's a team that has been improving one year to the next," said Bergeron. Overall, Bergeron would like to focus on seeing more consistency across a full game, something that has been lacking at times of late. "It is probably going to hurt us for the first 30 minutes, but everyone's on the same playing field," said Montgomery. "It's a nice reset for mental health to take a step back and to spend some time with family," added Bruins captain Patrice Bergeron. "Our execution needs to be better. Details is going to be paramount for us. Coming off the holiday break, coach Jim Montgomery has confidence in his team's ability to adjust.

The Bruins appreciate Zacha’s attention to detail no matter where he skates. Given their three-day holiday layover, the B’s performed reasonably well in the opening 20 after arriving in Ottawa early Tuesday. Zacha’s versatility provided Montgomery and the coaching staff with luxurious options to use him on Boston’s middle-six. With the secondary man advantage on the ice, Zacha beat Talbot on the short-side post for his first tally since Nov. The Bruins fired 27 shots toward Talbot in the final 20. just move forward and try to face the positives from each game.” That’s where Swayman came in and shut the door amid another bounce-back outing.

Talbot stopped all but one of those shots in a Vezina-like outing.

It [stinks] that we couldn't get the two points, but it was a barrage of shots. … Two of the Bruins' seven losses have come against the Senators (7-5 on Oct. He did a lot of good things." "I just thought he had the puck everywhere. Zacha scored five-hole with a wrist shot from the slot to tie it 2-2 at 16:27 of the third. "I thought one of our best players tonight, on both sides of the puck, was DeBrincat," Senators coach D.J. "He kept us in the game the whole time. A great job by our guys battling tonight." "You're just focused in on that puck, trying to do whatever you can to get your body or whatever in front of it.
