BOSTON — 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.

After an ugly loss to the New Jersey Devils on Jan. 22, the Boston Bruins bounced back in a big way against the Ottawa Senators on Jan. 23. The Bruins defeated their division rival by a 2-0 final score and have jumped up from sixth place to third place in the Atlantic Division.

Korpisalo was busy in the second period, facing 14 shots and allowing two goals. Boston scored four unanswered goals in the third period to earn the victory. Korpisalo has posted a record of 8-4-2 with a 2.87 GAA and an .892 save percentage in 15 appearances this season.

The Bruins may not be the most talented bunch and the direction of the organization is still very much up in the air. But whether the “blow-it-up” portion of the fan base likes it or not, the players are not abut to lay own on the season.
