The Boston Bruins fell 3-2 to the Ottawa Senators in overtime Saturday night at the TD Garden after the team failed to generate, literally, any offense in the third period.
Another problematic final frame helped hand the Bruins the loss as they failed to register a single shot on net, were outskated by the Senators, lost puck battles to them, had poor execution and just couldn’t match Ottawa’s energy.
“We just weren’t good enough,” Jim Montgomery said postgame.
After a back-and forth first period dominated by strong goaltending at both ends, the Bruins’ PK got worked by one of the best power plays in the league to find themselves down 1-0 thanks to Josh Norris with only a few seconds remaining in the first period.
