Joonas Korpisalo made 29 saves against his former team, David Pastrnak set up Morgan Geekie's goal and added an empty-netter and the Boston Bruins beat the Ottawa Senators 2-0 on Thursday night. Korpisalo had his third shutout of the season and seventh overall.

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.
