Bruins Edge Senators on Zacha's Late Goal in Overtime
Pavel Zacha scored with just 5.6 seconds left in overtime, leading the Boston Bruins to a 3-2 victory over the Ottawa Senators at TD Garden on Thursday. This win marked Boston's fifth consecutive victory.
Charlie McAvoy retrieved a loose puck in the left corner and carried it across the zone before sliding a shot along the goal line. Linus Ullmark made the initial save, but the rebound remained near the right post where Zacha quickly jammed it home.
“It was a big team win,” Zacha said. “Until the end, all the lines were going. Even through injuries, a couple of guys leaving the game, we stuck together and won the game.”
