The Bruins had a chance to seal a win on Saturday against another Eastern Conference foe vying for a playoff spot. But, instead of escaping Ottawa with a momentum-building win, the Bruins left with a disappointing result instead.
After leading 5-3 late, Boston allowed the Senators to score two goals with their net empty, once with under four minutes to play and another with less than 15 seconds remaining in regulation.
After a scoreless overtime frame, Ottawa found an edge in the shootout to earn an extra point in the standings — which could have major postseason implications.
