Story summary

On Monday night, Tim Stutzle scored two goals and added an assist as the Ottawa Senators defeated the Boston Bruins by a score of 4-1. This win improved Ottawa's record to 2-0 for the season.

Backup Ersson entered in the third period and allowed only one goal to Boston's James Hagens, preserving Ottawa’s victory despite being down a netminder for much of the final frame.
