BOSTON — Jiri Smejkal scored his first career goal midway through the second period and Jakob Chychrun scored less than a minute later as the Ottawa Senators beat the Boston Bruins 3-1 in the regular-season finale for both teams. Artem Zub added an empty-net goal with 1:48 remaining and Anton Forsberg had 34 saves for the Senators, who avoided a three-game season series sweep by Boston that had a chance of spoiling the Bruins' hopes of clinching the Atlantic Division title. The Bruins entered the day leading second-place Florida by one point. The Panthers were playing at Toronto. Pavel Zacha scored for Boston, and Linus Ullmark finished with 17 saves.
