Ottawa Senators Extend Win Streak to Five with 6-3 Victory Over Boston Bruins

The Senators strengthen their playoff push, while the Bruins stumble in their fight for a postseason spot after significant roster changes.

The Ottawa Senators defeated the Boston Bruins 6-3, marking their fifth consecutive win and bolstering their Eastern Conference wild-card lead.
Boston's two-game winning streak ended as they struggled defensively, allowing four first-period goals, with goaltender Jeremy Swayman pulled after the opening frame.
The Bruins, who recently traded key players including Brad Marchand, are integrating new additions like Casey Mittelstadt and Marat Khusnutdinov as they fight to stay in the playoff race.
David Pastrnak continued his strong performance for Boston, scoring his 34th goal of the season and extending his points streak to 22 of the last 23 games.
Senators captain Brady Tkachuk and newcomer Dylan Cozens have been pivotal during Ottawa's streak, with Tkachuk scoring seven goals in seven games and Cozens contributing in key moments since his acquisition.
