Bruins Edge Senators on Zacha's Late Overtime Goal

The Boston Bruins extended their winning streak to five games with a 3-2 victory over the Ottawa Senators at TD Garden on Thursday, thanks to Pavel Zacha’s goal with just 5.6 seconds left in overtime.

Game-Winning Play

Charlie McAvoy recovered a loose puck in the left corner, skated across the zone, and fired a shot along the goal line. Linus Ullmark made the initial save, but the rebound lingered near the right post where Zacha tapped it in to clinch the win.

“It was a big team win,” Zacha said. “Until the end, all the lines were going. Even through injuries, a couple of guys leaving the game, we stuck together and won the game.”

Post-Game Reflections

“We’re doing enough right things to hang in games, and if you give yourself a chance you put yourself in a spot to get points,” Kuraly said. “There are still things we want to clean up, but we’re sticking to our systems and we’re eliminating major mistakes that ended up in the back of our net during that losing streak.”

The Bruins demonstrated resilience despite injuries and setbacks, overcoming previous mistakes that contributed to a six-game losing streak in October.
