It’s not like the Ottawa Senators stunk up the TD Garden on Thursday. It wasn’t like the game two days before when the Senators absorbed an embarrassing 5-0 road spanking against the New York Rangers.

BOSTON – Joonas Korpisalo made 29 saves and posted his third shutout of the season for the Boston Bruins in a 2-0 win against the Ottawa Senators at TD Garden on Thursday.

Korpisalo will serve as the starting goaltender for Thursday's home game against the Senators, Joe McDonald of The Hockey News reports.

Morgan Geekie scored the game-winning goal and Joonas Korpisalo recorded a 29-save shutout as the Boston Bruins beat the visiting Ottawa Senators 2-0 on Thursday night.

A goal? What’s that? It's easy for Ottawa Senators fans to forget what a goal looks like now that their team has gone 137 minutes without scoring.

Korpisalo, who was sent to the Bruins in the deal that brought Linus Ullmark to Ottawa, has shown marked improvement in Boston. He has an 8-4-2 record with the Bruins, a .892 save percentage, and a 2.47 goals-against average.

After back-to-back wins over the weekend against the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Utah Hockey Club, the team sits in third place in the Atlantic Division and entrenched in a playoff spot a month before the trade deadline.
