The Boston Bruins recovered from a lackluster beginning to battle back in the second period and hold on to a 3-2 win over the Ottawa Senators tonight at the TD Garden.
In a game riddled by penalties and power plays on both sides, the Bruins found themselves shorthanded six times in the 60-minute span.
Special teams killed off six penalties, including a 5-on-3, and matching penalties gave way to 4-on-4s Improving on Saturday’s loss in which they gave up two goals, the PK cleared the zone better and limited scoring chances.
“I liked our compete level on the puck,” Bruce Cassidy said.
