Wideman gave the Senators a 2-1 lead at 6:28 of the third period when his shot from the right point deflected off Bruins forward Dominic Moore in front of the net and went in on the stick side. Bruins defenseman Torey Krug cleared the puck onto Wideman's stick to start the play.
Turris scored his team-leading ninth goal at 10:16 of the third to give the Senators a 3-1 lead, finishing off a nice passing play with Bobby Ryan after a turnover by David Krecji.
"[A] huge win for us," Turris said. "We just have to keep the momentum going now. We're playing well. We played real strong defensively and in the neutral zone. It was just an all-around solid game for us."

Stone tied the game 1-1 at 13:23 of the second period on a nice give-and-go with Mike Hoffman. Stone has three goals and three assists in his past five games.
Back in the lineup after missing three games with an upper-body injury, Pastrnak made it 1-0 on the power play with 10.1 seconds left in the first period.

It was Pastrnak's 11th goal of the season.
With Bruins captain Zdeno Chara out of the lineup because of a lower-body injury he sustained Tuesday in a 4-2 loss to the St. Louis Blues, defenseman Kevan Miller played his first game of the season. Miller had been out because of a hand injury.

They said it

"I think the whole game there was poor puck management in my estimation. We've been a better team than that. It's disappointing tonight in an important game like this we came out with one of worst efforts in probably a month. I didn't like our game tonight, decision making, puck management, I would say there were a lot of no shows, as well. Those are things that can't happen in these kind of games. Definitely not happy with not just the outcome, but our team. Definitely we need to be better. We've got an opportunity here to go back home and play right away tomorrow and hopefully we can get back on track quickly here." -- Boston Bruins coach Claude Julien
"We've done it enough times where it doesn't faze us anymore. We're becoming a more resilient group, a more veteran group where we don't play to the scoreboard, we just play our way, the way we're supposed to whether we're up a goal or down a goal. I think we've grown here since the start of the year." -- Goaltender Craig Anderson after the Senators gave up the first goal for the 15th time in 20 games
"It was a beauty. I knew he was behind me coming into the zone so I just dropped it for him and tried to get in behind the [defenseman] to try and get a rebound. He made a gorgeous play to fake the shot and slide it between the [defenseman's] stick and skates. The goalie was already down so I just tried to put it up. -- Senators forward Kyle Turris on Mark Stone's pass to send him in to make it 3-1
