Cam Talbot was spectacular, Alex DeBrincat scored the only goal on penalties and the Ottawa Senators defeated the Boston Bruins 3-2 at the Canadian Tire Centre.

The “Sens” have beaten their rivals in the Atlantic section twice as often this season.

Talbot chained key stores to give Ottawa’s team access to the shootout. He finished the game with 49 saves, 18 more than his counterpart Jeremy Swayman.

In addition to playing the heroes, DeBrincat also hit the bull’s eye in regulation time. In the second third he escaped to 2:1. However, Pavel Zacha forced an overtime with 3:33 min. to do in the third twenty.

Jake DeBrusk also eclipsed the scoring chart for the Bruins, while Tim Stützle completed the scoring for the Senators.

CH alumni take care of rangers

Former Montreal Canadiens Lars Eller and Erik Gustafsson were key players in the Washington Capitals’ 4-0 win over the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden.

Gustafsson and Eller both bluffed the vigilance of Igor Shesterkin to propel the “Caps” to a fifth straight win. The Swedish defender also picked up an assist. Since the start of his team’s winning streak, he has accumulated five goals and nine points.

Before Peter Laviolette’s men’s cage, Darcy Kuemper made 32 saves to sign his third shutout of the season.

Marcus Johansson, who attacked heavily, and Conor Sheary, who was short-handed, completed the goal.

The Hurricanes don’t know how to lose anymore

The Carolina Hurricanes can’t lose anymore! The Canes defeated the Chicago Blackhawks 3-0 at PNC Arena on Tuesday, extending their winning streak to nine games.

Despite the absence of Frederik Andersen, who has been on the floor since November 6th, the Brind’Amour men manage to keep their opponents at bay. Since the beginning of their winning streak, they have only allowed 1.89 goals per game on average.

This time it was veteran Antti Raanta who muzzled the poor Hawks, who had been eliminated 17 times in the previous 20 games. The Finnish goalie stopped 24 pucks to win.

His counterpart Petr Mrazek did everything he could to keep the Illinois team in the game. He fended off 46 out of 49 enemy attempts but failed to multiply the wonders during his teammates’ fallout.

Despite looking brilliant at times, the Czech veteran still helped the hosts take a two-goal lead by allowing two generous rebounds. Martin Necas and Jesper Fast took the opportunity to thread the needle, with the latter claiming a point in their fifth straight game.

Jordan Martinook pinned the Hawks’ coffin by jumping on a loose puck early in the third period.
