Is there a genuine debate about who should back up Linus Ullmark when he's healthy enough to play again? Could the Senators lean on both?

The Ottawa Senators were unable to find the back of the net as they fell to the Boston Bruins by a score of 2-0.

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 come into question more and more frequently over the past number of weeks whether or not the Boston Bruins have what it takes to make the playoffs.

The Ottawa Senators were blanked by former goaltender Joonas Korpisalo as the Boston Bruins win 2-0 to secure the third Atlantic Division spot. Two minutes into the second period, Morgan Geekie got a shot past Anton Forsberg for the forward’s 13th of the season.

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.

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.

After missing almost a month of action with a back injury, goalie Linus Ullmark looks like he'll be ready to return to the lineup soon. At that point, with Anton Forsberg and Leevi Merilainen, the Senators will have three available goalies. This just in: there isn't room on the bench for two backup goalies.

For the second-last time this season, the Boston Bruins (24-20-6) battled the Ottawa Senators (24-20-4) in a pivotal divisional matchup that may have large playoff implications later down the line.

Artem Zub and Zack Ostapchuk each scored a goal and Anton Forsberg stopped 25 shots to lead the Ottawa Senators to a 2-1 win over the New Jersey Devils on Sunday. Zub snapped a 1-1 tie in the third period with his second goal of the season.
