Costly Mistakes From Veterans Plague Bruins In OT Loss To Senators

Share this: The Boston Bruins squandered a golden opportunity Saturday afternoon at the Canadian Tire Centre. The Bruins held a two-goal third-period lead over the Ottawa Senators in Game 2 of their first-round Stanley Cup playoff series, but the Senators mounted a furious comeback en route to an overtime victory. Despite having a roster that features several young players, it was actually a few of the veterans who committed costly mistakes in Saturday’s loss. Most notably, Zdeno Chara’s delay-of-game penalty in the waning moments of the final frame.
