The Toronto Sceptres visit the New York Sirens on Wednesday.
Ottawa, which is converting just 20 per cent of its power-play opportunities this season, was 0-for-3 with the man advantage.
Boston's offence, which mustered just two goals in losses to Toronto and Minnesota to open the season, has scored seven goals in back-to-back wins.
Shiann Darkangelo, who had one assist in 17 games with Boston last season before she was traded to Ottawa on March 18 in exchange for Lexie Adzija and Caitrin Lonergan, scored her first career goal when she poked home the rebound of a shot by Jincy Roese about seven minutes into the second period.
Fleet netminder Aerin Frankel stopped 24 of the 26 shots faced.
The Charge visit the league-leading Minnesota Frost on Thursday while Boston face the Sceptres in Toronto on Friday, Dec. 27.
