In a dominant performance, the Boston Bruins secured a 2-0 victory over the Ottawa Senators, thanks to Joonas Korpisalo's stellar 29-save shutout against his former team. David Pastrnak provided a key assist for Morgan Geekie's opening goal early in the second period, before sealing the victory with an empty-net goal. Korpisalo's shutout marked his third of the season and seventh overall, following his trade from Ottawa, where he was dealt for the former Vezina Trophy winner Linus Ullmark. Goalie Anton Forsberg made 24 saves for the Senators, who faced their second consecutive shutout and fifth in their last eleven games.

The Bruins improved their home record significantly with this win, achieving nine victories out of their last eleven games at TD Garden. This game contrasts sharply with their previous night’s blowout loss against New Jersey, as Boston tightened up defensively, notably during a critical moment when the Senators failed to capitalize on a two-man advantage during the third period.
