Senators rally to beat Predators 3-2 in shootout
Shane Pinto scored in the shootout as Ottawa rallied from a 2-1 deficit and went 1-for-6 on the power play.
On Saturday, the Ottawa Senators defeated the Nashville Predators 3-2 in a shootout, with Shane Pinto scoring the game-winning goal to salvage a rough outing.
Nashville built a 2-0 lead in the first period with goals from Ross Colton and Jonathan Marchessault, while Ottawa endured a 22-minute gap between shots on goal.
Tim Stutzle and Drake Batherson scored for the Senators, while goaltender Linus Ullmark turned away 16 shots and Nashville's Matt Murray made 18 saves.
Defenseman Jayden Struble made his Nashville debut after being acquired Friday from the Montreal Canadiens, as Centre Vitali Pinchuk also debuted for the Predators during the final game of their three-game Eastern Canada road trip.
The Senators visit the New Jersey Devils on Monday, while the Predators host the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday; Nashville forward Steven Stamkos recently became the eighth-oldest player to record a season-opening five-game point streak.
