The Bruins struggled on their breakouts both early and late, wiping a good effort in between those bookends, and they saw their seven-game win streak go up in smoke in a 5–3 loss to the Senators in Ottawa on Thursday.

Tim Stutzle scored the winning goal with 5:43 left in the third, spoiling a spirited comeback attempt by the B’s.

The Bruins had worked hard in the second to halve a 2-0 Ottawa lead, but the Senators got their two-goal lead right back at 1:06 of the third period. The Bruins got caught on a bad change after Jake Sanderson captured a clear-out at the red line and counter-attacked, moving the puck up to Michael Amadio, who sent a pass down low for Shane Pinto redirection.

But the B’s were undaunted, scrapping back to tie the game.
