The Bruins could have moved up to second place in the Eastern Conference with a win tonight against the Ottawa Senators but the Senators outplayed and outworked the Bruins for a 4-2 win. With the loss, the Bruins stayed in 4th place in the Eastern Conference and Ottawa moved up to 7th place. The Bruins will face Toronto and Ottawa will play Montreal in the playoffs.
