Boston Bruins vs Ottawa Senators Box Score on Feb 12, 2022

Jeremy Swayman made 30 saves as the visiting Boston Bruins defeated the Ottawa Senators 2-0 on Saturday.

Trent Frederic and Curtis Lazar scored in the first period for the Bruins, who had lost three of their past four. Swayman made 14 saves in the third period while picking up just his second win in his past seven decisions.

Matt Murray made 35 saves for the Senators, who were shut out for the second straight game and ended up 2-2 on a four-game homestand.

The Bruins again were without top-line forwards Brad Marchand (suspension) and Patrice Bergeron (upper-body injury).

The Bruins, coming off a 6-0 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday, took a 1-0 lead 45 seconds into the first period on Saturday.

Charlie Coyle eluded a defender along the left boards and passed across ice to Craig Smith. Murray made a stellar pad save on Smith, but the rebound ended up at the feet of Frederic at the opposite post, and he knocked it in.

Lazar made it 2-0 at 13:26. Murray made the initial save on Anton Blidh on a 2-on-1 rush, but Lazar poked in the rebound.

Boston outshot Ottawa 22-8 in the first period.

Murray, playing without his stick, robbed Frederic, who was alone in front of the net late in the second period to keep the score 2-0.

Ottawa made a push early in the third period, but Swayman made a series of saves to maintain the 2-0 lead.

The Bruins appeared to take a 3-0 lead at 8:08 of the period when Murray made a save on Lazar off the rush and Blidh tucked in the rebound after Lazar and Murray collided. Ottawa challenged, and the goal was waived off due to goaltender interference.

Connor Brown hit the post with 3:46 remaining. Swayman then made a save on Thomas Chabot, and the Senators pulled Murray for an extra attacker during the ensuing stoppage.
