Pavel Zacha Scores Late in Overtime as Bruins Beat Senators 3-2
BOSTON (AP) — Pavel Zacha scored off a rebound with six seconds remaining in overtime, giving the Boston Bruins a 3-2 win over the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday night and extending their winning streak to five games.
Key Moments of the Game
