The Boston Bruins moved past Buffalo and Montreal in the fight for home-ice advantage in the playoffs, but that will mean little if they continue playing as they did against Ottawa. The Bruins blew an early three-goal lead and had to rally in the third period for a 5-4 win over the visiting Senators, the league's worst team. After scoring on three of their first four shots, the Bruins allowed four straight goals to the league's lowest-scoring team. "We got a little too excited there," Bruins winger Brent Hughes said.

DAVID KREJCI scored the shootout winner and had an assist in regulation as the Boston Bruins defeated the Senators, 3-2, on Monday night in Ottawa. Tuuka Rask made 30 saves in regulation and stopped three of four Senators in the shootout, including a bizarre attempt from Kaspars Daugavins. The Ottawa forward carried the puck by pressing down with the tip of his stick before attempting a failed 360 move in front of Rask. Shawn Thornton and Daniel Paille scored for Boston, which rallied from a 2-0 deficit to win its 10th straight in Ottawa.

OTTAWA - The Flyers, with winger Jason Akeson scoring an early goal in his NHL debut and goalie Steve Mason giving another outstanding performance, ended their disappointing 23-22-3 season with a 2-1 win in Ottawa on Saturday night. The question is, was it also the end of the Peter Laviolette era? Probably not. General manager Paul Holmgren would not say definitively, but he again hinted strongly that the coach will return. Holmgren apparently wants to wait until after having season-ending interviews with his players in the next few days before making a decision on Laviolette, who has two years left on his contract.

Andrew Brunette is so hot, he's scoring goals with his hip. With a few lucky bounces and some strong goaltending, the Washington Capitals ended a season-and-a-half of frustration against Ottawa last night, stopping a six-game losing streak against the visiting Senators with a 4-0 victory. "Hopefully, we got rid of the Ottawa jinx," said All-Star goalie Olaf Kolzig, who stopped 24 shots for his 20th victory - six more than he had in his entire five-year NHL career before this season.

The outburst began as winning pitcher Robert Gaddy (5-7) doubled for his second hit of the game. The Barons improved to 31-50, still last in the East Division.

Guys like Vinny Prospal used to be what the Flyers were about. Yes, Prospal is slow and skinny-legged. He needed every bit of the four years the Flyers kept him in the minors. Even now, headed toward his 24th birthday in February, he can't say he's definitely made it in the NHL. Last night, Prospal had three assists, doubling his season point total, in a 5-4 Ottawa victory over the Flyers at the First Union Center. He scored a goal, as well, but saw that wiped out by video replay.

  Flyers Notes Sergei Bobrovsky is being a good soldier. After being the Flyers' primary goalie and having a very strong rookie season in 2010-11, Bobrovsky is now Ilya Bryzgalov 's understudy. There is a chance Bobrovsky will get his first start of the season Tuesday night in Ottawa. Coach Peter Laviolette , who used Bryzgalov in the first four games (3-0-1), said he wouldn't announce his decision until the morning skate. "I'm ready for every game," Bobrovsky said.

A four-run seventh inning by Ottawa broke a 2-2 tie last night as the Lynx defeated Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, 7-3, in the International League. Starter Tommy Greene, on a rehabilitation assignment from the Phillies for a right-shoulder injury, gave up three hits, one run, one walk and had six strikeouts in four innings. He did not figure in the decision for the Red Barons. Carlos Perez (5-2) got the win for Ottawa, while Paul Fletcher (3-9) took the loss for the Barons. Ted Wood hit his 10th homer of the season as part of Ottawa's seventh-inning rally.

THE SINGULAR, lonely point the Flyers earned in the standings Sunday night in Pittsburgh was gravy. Put aside, for one moment, the absurdity of that thought. Nevermind that the 13th-place Flyers clung to a 1-0 lead with 7 minutes left and managed to cough up the extra point in overtime. Take the emotion out of it. Forget that the Flyers had a very real chance to stifle an 11-game winning streak, the longest in the NHL this season, against a bitter rival. Remove the doubt and focus on the numbers.
