Fabian Zetterlund scored two goals as Ottawa extended their winning streak in the NHL on Sunday night. A 6–2 win over Boston was the team's fourth straight victory.

Power play goals were Zetterlund's signature in last night's away game against Boston. Both of the Swede's goals came with a numerical advantage.

The first came just under seventeen minutes into the first period. Boston Swede Elias Lindholm had been sent to the penalty box after slashing Tim Stützle. With two seconds left on the penalty, he saw compatriot Zetterlund extend Ottawa's lead to 3–0, finding his way between the post and goalie Joonas Korpisalo.

Zetterlund's second goal was the last of the game. The 26-year-old sent a shot from the penalty spot into the roof of the net to make it 6–2 with just under three minutes left in the second period.

In addition to the two goals, Zetterlund also set up Tim Stützle's 4-1 goal along with Brady Tkachuk. After the match, the Swede paid tribute to his teammates.

"We complement each other very well. When we get the puck in the net, things happen," he said, according to nhl.com.

Both Ottawa and Boston are outside the playoff spots in the limping but even Eastern Conference.
