BOSTON — The Senators are heading home with a chance to eliminate the Bruins in Ottawa.
Not that they’ve had much trouble with them in Boston.
Bobby Ryan scored early in the third period, Craig Anderson stopped 22 shots for his fourth career postseason shutout and the Senators beat Boston 1-0 on Wednesday night for a 3-1 lead in their first-round playoff series.
It was Ottawa’s fifth straight win in Boston dating to 2015 and seventh victory in eight tries — home or away — this season. Game 5 is Friday night in the Canadian capital.
