Overview
- Ottawa built a 2-0 lead within seven minutes, then surrendered it and later lost a third-period advantage before winning in overtime.
- The Senators managed only 13 shots and went more than 20 minutes without a shot during a prolonged lull.
- Two uneventful power plays late in the first period and early in the third squandered chances to restore a multi-goal cushion.
- The victory moved Ottawa to two games over .500 for the first time this season and marked a fourth straight game decided in overtime.
- Linus Ullmark made 20 saves, Tim Stützle’s surge reached 6 goals and 11 points over 7 games, and Leevi Merilainen is expected to start the next game.
