OTTAWA – Martin Havlat’s second goal of the game 1:23 into overtime gave the Ottawa Senators a 3-2 win over the Boston Bruins on Thursday night.

Havlat, who put Ottawa on top 2-0 in the second period, beat Felix Potvin for the winner, his 19th goal this season. The Senators have two straight wins after a season-high three-game losing streak.

Boston defenseman Jiri Slegr scored with 40.4 seconds remaining in regulation and the Bruins salvaged a point despite ending a season-high six-game winning streak. Slegr put the puck past goalie Martin Prusek after Glen Murray shot into a goalmouth scramble.

Ted Donato scored a short-handed goal for Boston.

The Bruins fell short of their longest winning streak in 11 years. Boston finished the 1992-93 season with eight straight wins.

Jason Spezza also scored for Ottawa and Prusek stopped 22 shots.

Bruins left wing Sergei Samsonov missed the game because of a rib injury suffered in Tuesday’s 6-3 win in Pittsburgh.

Spezza scored on a power play early in the period. Potvin stopped Todd White’s point shot with his left pad, but Spezza put jumped the rebound into the open right side for his 18th goal of season.

Havlat made it a two-goal lead moments later when he batted his own rebound out of midair and past Potvin.

Donato drew Boston within one with the Bruins’ second short-handed goal in as many games.

With Bruins captain Joe Thornton serving a double minor for attempting to spear White, Donato intercepted Bryan Smolinski’s cross-ice pass and raced down the ice to beat Prusek with a slap shot inside the right post.
