Winners of four straight on Thursday night, entering their matchup with the Ottawa Senators, the Boston Bruins were beginning a stretch of five straight Atlantic Division games against teams from Canada. The Bruins picked up a 3-2 overtime win on Pavel Zacha's game-winning goal with 5.6 seconds remaining against former teammate Linus Ullmark.
The win was the fifth in a row for the Black and Gold and a good start to a stretch in November that is going to be a key stretch before the Thanksgiving Break in three weeks. The schedule during this stretch is a strange one for Marco Sturm and his team, with some travel back and forth to Canada.
