Back-to-back divisional wins following their 0-5-1 skid have helped the Bruins take a one-point lead for the final wild-card spot in the East, though the Senators have two games in hand.

Tim Stutzle's shootout goal rallied the Ottawa Senators to a 6-5 win over the Boston Bruins on Saturday afternoon.

All the Boston Bruins had to do was hold on for a few more minutes. Leading by two goals, all that separated them from a massive win was one last late push by the Ottawa Senators. The Bruins did not make it.

Tim Stutzle scored the only goal in the shootout and had a goal and an assist, Norris scored twice and Leevi Merilainen made 23 saves for the Senators (23-18-4), who are 4-0-1 in their past five games.
