Boston Bruins goalie Jeremy Swayman was outstanding during Boston’s 6-5 shootout loss to the Ottawa Senators, recording 39 saves. However, his poor decision with the puck late in the game factored into the team’s losing effort.

David Pastrnak had a goal and two assists and Parker Wotherspoon scored his first NHL goal to help the Boston Bruins open a four-goal lead and hold on to beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 6-2.

Even though a recent report saying the Boston Bruins are an un-unified team was already deemed baseless, Trent Frederic completely dispelled it with just a few punches.

Perry was hesitant and Frederic’s persistence earned him two extra minutes for roughing. The scrap briefly had the desired effect as Frederic tuned up the 39-year-old winger, with a windmill flurry of right hands that left the Bruins center with bloody knuckles.

Under duress from Charlie Coyle, Victor Hedman lost the puck just inside his left point position and Poitras pounced on it, bursting up ice on a 2-on-1. He smartly waited out Nick Perbix’s belly-flop slide and made a pretty pass around the defenseman’s skates to Trent Frederic for a redirection at 4:24, Frederic’s seventh of the year.
