Senators take 2-1 lead in series with 4-3 overtime win over Bruins
BOSTON — Bobby Ryan took a punch in overtime, then delivered one of his own to win it.
Ryan scored the winner on a power play 5:43 into overtime as the Ottawa Senators beat the Boston Bruins 4-3 on Monday night to take a 2-1 lead in their Eastern Conference quarter-final series.
Ryan tipped the puck past Rask off a pass from Kyle Turris. Ottawa was awarded the man advantage when Boston’s Riley Nash was whistled for roughing 4:38 into overtime after throwing a punch at Ryan.
“I always say that you make your money during the season, but you make your reputation in the playoffs, and right now he’s showing everybody that he’s a gamer,” Senators coach Guy Boucher said of Ryan.
