BOSTON — The Ottawa Senators have given the Bruins fits this season and, in Monday’s matinee, they proved again to be no pushover.
But the B’s did what they could to make sure they won’t seeing the Sens in the first round of the playoffs.
The Sens came into the Garden with two wins over the B’s to their credit this season, as well as a 7-2-1 record in their previous 10 to pull the outside of the playoff bubble. But David Pastrnak scored a pair of goals and Linus Ullmark made 30 saves to send the B’s out on a four-game Western trip with a 3-1 victory.
