from Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun,

Instead of sending the Boston Bruins into an early spring, the Ottawa Senators will be packing up for another trip to Beantown.

After failing to book a ticket Round 2 of the National Hockey League playoffs, the Senators were left with more work to do after they squandered a 2-0 second-period lead and lost 3-2 to the Bruins in double overtime in front of 19,209 at Canadian Tire Centre on Friday night. That cut Ottawa’s lead in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference quarterfinal to 3-2.

Sean Kuraly scored his second goal of the game at 10:19 of the second OT to give the Bruins the win and the Senators don’t have a lot of time to recover with Game 6 set for Sunday at 3 p.m. at Boston's TD Garden.

"Right now, it definitely stings. They're emotional games. We expected a hard fought, long, grinding gruelling series and that's what we've got. I don't know how to explain it any better than they're pushing, we're pushing and it goes to double overtime, anything can happen. It's disappointing but we have to move on," said defenceman Dion Phaneuf. "The same way we moved on from the two wins in overtime.

"We expected a battle and we've got one."
