On Saturday night in Boston, Brady Tkachuk scored just 21 seconds into overtime to secure a 3-2 victory for the Ottawa Senators against the Boston Bruins. This marked a significant win for Linus Ullmark, who returned to Boston after being traded to Ottawa in June. Ullmark, a 31-year-old goaltender and former Vezina Trophy winner, spent three successful seasons with the Bruins but was a spectator in the playoffs last season, as Jeremy Swayman took over as the primary goalie. The game featured a series of lead changes, with Josh Norris netting a power-play goal for Ottawa and Michael Amadio tying the game in the second period. The Bruins initially led 2-1 with goals from Pavel Zacha and Brad Marchand, but the Senators were relentless in their pursuit of victory. The Senators were particularly sharp, outshooting the Bruins 34-16 throughout the game. Before the game, the Bruins honored Ullmark with a video tribute, acknowledging his contributions that helped them set NHL records during his tenure. This emotional moment included Ullmark receiving applause from the fans, demonstrating the strong bond he formed with the Boston community. Despite the loss, the Bruins are struggling to find consistent momentum early in the season, having recently won only three of their last four games. Moving forward, the Senators will look to build on this victory as they face the Toronto Maple Leafs in their next matchup.
