Bit of a slip on ice by Bruins

Bruins captain Zdeno Chara always sees the game from a slightly different perspective, standing nearly 7 feet tall when he laces up his oversize skates. But it wasn’t those extra inches that gave Chara reason for pause following Boston’s 4-3 shootout win over the Senators Saturday night at the Garden.

The longer they go, well, the longer they have to go. The Bruins, who nightly stretch the game clock beyond even a plastic surgeon’s wildest dreams, went to overtime last night, for a fifth time in six games, and ultimately left the Garden with a 4-3 win over the Senators thanks to Michael Ryder’s solo strike in the shootout.

Thomas’s back was covered

The “W’’ Tim Thomas posted last night was worth 2 points in the standings, and maybe 16 ounces of flesh, too. The veteran backstop, playing for the first time in two weeks, was mad and disappointed that he let up Ottawa’s tying goal with 19.3 seconds remaining in regulation.

The most important maneuver on Dennis Wideman’s go-ahead power-play goal in the third period was the most selfless one, and it won’t even make the scoresheet of the Bruins’ 4-3 shootout victory over the Senators at the Garden last night.

Ankle injury ices Lucic

Kevin Paul Dupont, Globe Staff — 2009-11-28T05:00:00Z

The bad news wasn’t as bad as it could have been, which means Milan Lucic will be sidelined for roughly a month after twisting his left ankle Wednesday night in St. Paul. Had it been a significant knee injury - as it initially looked to many, including general manager Peter Chiarelli - the prognosis might have been far worse.

Devils silence Bruins

The not-quite-ready-for-regulation-time Bruins played into overtime again yesterday - for the fourth time in five games - and their payoff was a 2-1 shootout loss to the Devils that ended Boston’s season-high four-game winning streak.

Brodeur wins, becomes NHL all-time minutes leader

New Jersey goaltender Martin Brodeur couldn't think about becoming the NHL's all-time minutes leader once the clock was turned off. He had a little extra work to do.

Kevin Paul Dupont, Globe Staff — 2009-11-27T05:00:00Z

Bruins defenseman Dennis Wideman wasn’t so wide-eyed when he showed up for work around 8:45 a.m. yesterday in the Garden’s parking lot at the edge of Causeway St.

Chemistry getting remixed

It could be argued that Shane Hnidy , Aaron Ward , P.J. Axelsson , Stephane Yelle , and Manny Fernandez had too many miles on their odometers for the Bruins to bring back this season.

Shootout victory lets Bruins go wild

Fluto Shinzawa, Globe Staff — 2009-11-26T05:00:00Z

The Wild have never been a kind opponent for the Bruins. Entering last night, the Bruins were 1-8-0 against the Wild since the franchise was introduced to the NHL in 2000-01. By employing former coach Jacques Lemaire’s neutral-zone trap, the Wild had seemingly always stifled the Bruins and prevented them from getting good looks on their netminders.

Prior to yesterday’s practice at the Xcel Energy Center, Bruins assistant equipment manager Keith Robinson dropped off a pair of skates and some other items that Chuck Kobasew had left behind at Ristuccia Arena.

Bitz up for promotion

Fluto Shinzawa, Globe Staff — 2009-11-24T05:00:00Z

For the Bruins coaching staff, it wasn’t so much Byron Bitz’s hands or wheels that earned him the promotion to top-line duties alongside Marc Savard last night. It’s been Bitz’s head - specifically, how he thinks when it comes to getting pucks in and out of the offensive and defensive zones.

Bruins get an assist

Fluto Shinzawa, Globe Staff — 2009-11-24T05:00:00Z
