Turris scores 2, Senators beat Bruins 3-2 to end 4-game skid
BOSTON — For the Ottawa Senators, snapping a four-game losing streak seemed almost secondary to the way they did it.
The Senators appeared ready for a return to the playoffs, ending an untimely skid with a 3-2 victory over the Boston Bruins on Tuesday night.
“We wanted to see this as a seventh game because we want to be able to manage pressure,” coach Guy Boucher said. “We’ve got a lot of young guys in there — a lot of guys who haven’t gone to the playoffs in the NHL and had a lot of pressure moments.”
The Senators were in an 0-2-2 slump and facing a team that could have pulled within two points of them for second place in the Atlantic Division. Instead, they headed home with a six-point cushion on the Bruins and a building sense of confidence.
