BOSTON (AP) — Brady Tkachuk scored 21 seconds into overtime, leading Ottawa to a 3-2 victory over the Bruins on Saturday night and giving Linus Ullmark a victory in his return to Boston.

Ullmark, 31 years old was negotiated by Boston to Ottawa in June. The 2023 Vezina Trophy winner went 88-26-10 in three seasons with the Bruins, but was replaced by Jeremy Swayman for most of last season’s playoffs.

Tkachuk beat Swayman with a wrist shot from the right circle at the end of a 2-on-1 break.

Josh Norris scored a power-play goal for Ottawa, and Michael Amadio’s tying goal came on a wrist shot from the right circle late in the second period.

Pavel Zacha and Brad Marchand scored 15 seconds apart in the second, giving Boston a 2-1 lead. Zacha beat Ullmark with a backhand and Marchand fired a loose puck from the edge of the box.

The Bruins played a tribute video to Ullmark, who helped them set NHL records for wins (65) and points (135) two seasons ago, midway through the opening period. He watched from near his team’s bench and then skated to the blue line and waved to fans during a loud cheer.

Takeaway meals

Senators: Outshot the Bruins 34-16 to win for just the second time in seven road games so far this season.
