Brady Tkachuk's Overtime Goal Extends Senators' Win Streak to Five

The Ottawa captain overcame a facial injury to secure a 3-2 victory over the Flames, keeping the team in playoff contention.

Brady Tkachuk scored 55 seconds into overtime, marking his franchise-record 10th career overtime goal and leading the Ottawa Senators to a 3-2 win over the Calgary Flames.
Tkachuk sustained a facial injury from an accidental high-stick by Mikael Backlund but returned to the game after receiving nine stitches and losing a tooth.
Goaltender Linus Ullmark delivered a standout performance with 29 saves, extending his personal win streak to seven games and playing a key role in Ottawa's current five-game winning streak.
Ridly Greig contributed a short-handed goal in the third period, his first in 20 games, while Jonathan Huberdeau quickly equalized for Calgary on the same power play.
The Senators, now holding the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference, are two points behind the Bruins with two games in hand as they continue a nine-game road stretch.
