The Senators scored four minutes later when Stutzle made a nifty backhanded pass despite being knocked to the ice. He found Tkachuk in front of the net for an easy tap-in.
During a 4-on-4 situation at 13:09 of the period, Sanderson ripped a shot from the left circle that beat Reimer.
Norris fired a shot from the right circle that slipped between Reimer’s pads to give Ottawa a 4-0 lead 1:18 into the second period.

Their next goal came when Olli Maatta took a shot from the point that J.T. Compher deflected with his stick. The puck bounced off Perron’s body and over Korpisalo.
DeBrincat scored off a feed from Gostisbehere before Gostisbehere tied it when he pushed the puck from the right circle toward the net. It deflected off two defenders and past Korpisalo.
