Ottawa ends Boston's six game win streak

The Ottawa Senators dumped the Boston Bruins 3-2 tonight from Canada's capital. The Bruins will now come home to play their Garden finale against the Montreal Canadiens Thursday night.

Boston fell behind early and never recovered. It was Christoph Schubert who potted the games first goal on a deflection. Schubert's slap shot deflected off of Steve Montador's stick and over Manny Fernandez's shoulder for a 1-0 Ottawa lead.

The lead would expand half way through the first period when Mike Fisher scored on the short hand. The goal was Fisher's 13th and gave Ottawa a 2-0 lead heading into the locker room after one stanza.

In his first game back after resting up an apparent shoulder injury, Phil Kessel was able to net his 32nd goal on the rebound. Marc Savard put the rubber on net and after Kessel's second whack, the puck found its way past Alex Auld.

As the period wound on, Marc Savard was sent to the box and his good friend, and in this case Bruins enemy, Dany Heatley scored on the power play to make it 3-1 Senators. The one timer was a shot that Manny Fernandez would like to have back.

Then, with just nine seconds left in the second period, the Bruins were able to score on a power play of their own. It was Zdeno Chara's 18th of the season on a blue line blast. The goal gave the Bruins some much needed momentum heading into the third period.

The third period came and went and Boston was not able to put anything past Auld. The Senators were able to extend their home winning streak to nine games, while the Bruins lost for the first time in seven games.
