Stutzle registered three points Monday as the Senators (5-4-1) dominated the Bruins.

This marked just the second time in franchise history Ottawa scored seven goals in back-to-back games, as it potted seven Nov. 3-5, 1993.

Drake Batherson also had a three-point night -- with two goals and assist -- while Nick Cousins, Fabian Zetterlund, and Claude Giroux got on the scoresheet with singles for the Senators.

Twenty-three-year-old Leevi Merilainen had 27 saves in a redemption effort after letting in seven goals against the Buffalo Sabres on Oct. 15 in his only other start of the season, despite letting in a goal from the Bruins on their first shot of the night.
