Last night, the Boston Bruins snapped their losing streak ending their road trip with a 4-1 win against the Ottawa Senators. The B’s looked solid all around with amazing saves by defenseman Brandon Carlo, goals from the top lines and a sick dangle from Brad Marchand.  The star shined brightly for David Pastrnak who ended the night with four-points, posting two goals and two assists. The top forward line had a combined eight points in the game. Throw in a good old-fashioned fight, courtesy of Marchand, and you had yourself a hockey game.

In the first period, Pastrnak had a wrister shot on goal, putting Boston on board at 11:17. Ottawa tied the game in the second when Thomas Chabot scored on a power play at 17:51. Boston would take the lead at 19:09 when David Krejci one-timed a Pastrnak feed on a 5 on 3 power play when Ottawa was called on a “too many men on the ice” penalty. Heading into the third, Patrice Bergeron scored on a tipped shot on a power play mere seconds into the period, making the score 3-1.

The Bruins would extend their lead after a filthy play by Marchand who deked Senators defenseman Dylan DeMelo and backhanded a pass to Pastrnak, who quickly sent the puck by goalie Craig Anderson.

According the NHL Department of  Player Safety, there will be a hearing. The Bruins will be looking to call up a defenseman from Providence.

Patrice Bergeron posted a goal and two assists while David Krecji had one goal and one assist in last night’s game. For Ottawa, Thomas Chabot scored the lone goal while goalie Craig Anderson made 28 saves. The loss would snap a three game winning streak for the Senators. Boston had 32 shots on goal while the Senators had 39 shots. Boston goalie Tuukka Rask made 38 saves. Zdeno Chara had a tough night with the officials; he had three penalty calls for cross checking, hooking and a trip. Brandon Carlo made two spectacular saves in net, keeping the Senators from scoring. Brad Marchand threw gloves down against the Senator’s Zack Smith with both men being sent to the penalty box.

As Bruce Cassidy stated after the Bruins 6-3 win over the Senators: we are spoiled here in Boston and the Bruins started the day off with an entertaining game against the Ottawa Senators. The atmosphere in the Garden was boisterous amid chants of “Yankees Suck!” and that energy was felt amongst the Bruins.  For one particular player, this win would one for the books as Patrice Bergeron scored his 4th career hat-trick.

As the puck dropped, Bergeron scored 30 seconds in the first period, putting Boston on board 1-0 over the Senators. As the period continued at 17:12 Bergeron netted another goal, making the score 2-0 Bruins. The Senator’s Ryan Dzingel had a busy afternoon and cut the lead 2-1 in the second period. The Bruins answered back when Walpole native Chris Wagner tipped in his first goal as a Bruin, making the score 3-1.  Ottawa, however, didn’t stay quiet for too long as Dzingel once again scored making it 3-2. At the 4:38 mark, Bergeron completed his hat trick in the third period putting the Bruins up 4-2.

The Bruins were called on a penalty that saw John Moore sit in the box. Ottawa at one point had a two-man advantage but ultimately weren’t able to capitalize on their power-play. The Bruins came back as David Pastrnak buried one in net extending the lead 5-2 from a redirect pass by Bergeron. For the Senators, Bobby Ryan scored shortly after Pastrnak making it 5-3. However, with little time left in the third, Pastrnak once again scored albeit an empty-netter making the final score 6-3.

By the Numbers:

Patrice Bergeron came away with three goals and an assist. He recorded his fourth career hat trick. Bergeron also recorded another hat trick against the Senators in 2011.  David Pastrnak posted two goals with two assists. Both Charlie McAvoy and Brad Marchand added points with their three assists.  Goaltender Tuukka Rask made 28 saves. For The Senators, Ryan Dzingel had two goals along with Bobby Ryan-who scored one goal. Goaltender Mike Condon made 24 saves.

The Bruins will stay in town as they host the Edmonton Oilers this coming Thursday with puck drop at 7:00 pm.
