Senators 3, Bruins 2 (overtime)
Clarke MacArthur, who fought a two-year battle with concussions
to come back to the NHL, scored on a power-play rebound 6:30
into overtime as Ottawa won their first-round playoff series
with Boston in Game Six.
The Senators will play the New York Rangers in the second round
of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
MacArthur, who earlier in the series celebrated his comeback
with his first goal in two years, sent a Bobby Ryan rebound past
Tuukka Rask for the winner.
All six games of the series were decided by one goal, four in
overtime, and Sunday marked the Senators' sixth straight win at
Boston's TD Garden.
Capitals 2, Maple Leafs 1 (overtime)
The Washington Capitals defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs in a
six-game Eastern Conference first-round playoff series,
finishing with a 2-1 overtime victory on Sunday night in a game
that fit right in with the rest.
Each of the six games was decided by one goal, and five of them
went to overtime. The Capitals face the Pittsburgh Penguins in
the next round.
"They pushed us and they hardened this series, and that bodes
well for the Leafs, and I just want to congratulate them for a
fantastic season," Washington coach Barry Trotz said.
