Drake Batherson Leads Senators to Fifth Straight Win Over Bruins

Ottawa solidifies its playoff position with a 6-3 victory, as Boston's struggles continue post-trade deadline.

Drake Batherson ended a 10-game goal drought with two goals and an assist, propelling the Ottawa Senators to a 6-3 win over the Boston Bruins.
The Senators extended their winning streak to five games and strengthened their hold on the Eastern Conference's first wild-card spot, now five points ahead of Columbus.
Ottawa dominated early, scoring four goals in the first period, while Boston's goalie Jeremy Swayman was pulled after allowing four goals on 15 shots.
Boston's recent trade deadline moves, including the loss of longtime captain Brad Marchand, have left the team struggling to find consistency as they fight for a playoff spot.
Senators captain Brady Tkachuk extended his point streak to eight games, while goalie Linus Ullmark made key saves to preserve Ottawa's lead.
