Senators Grind TD Garden, Turn Chances into a Four-Spot

Ottawa has controlled this game beyond the scoreboard: they've been the team generating the play and the better chances. The counts tell the story — shot attempts 22-16, shots on goal 11-5, high-danger chances 9-2, expected goals 1.61–0.56 — and those numbers match the 4-0 score.

You can see how the pressure built in two moments. Early in the first, Morgan Geekie hit the post at 4:44, a near miss that might have changed momentum but instead stayed out. Then in the second, Ottawa struck twice in quick succession; the 05:19 Michael Amadio goal capped a push that began with sustained zone time and multiple looks, turning tilt into finish. Boston has trouble turning its sparse looks into danger — just five shots on goal and two high-danger chances — while Ottawa keeps creating traffic and getting quality opportunities.
