OTTAWA – Linus Ullmark made 21 saves, backstopping the Ottawa Senators to a much-needed 2-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday.
Tyson Foerster got the Flyers (3-3-1) off to a great start, scoring 29 seconds in the first period on Philaldephia’s first shot of the game, but the visitors couldn’t find a way to beat Ullmark again.
The Senators (3-4-1) knotted the score midway through the first when Michael Amadio beat Dan Vladar, who stopped 31 shots on the night.
Ottawa took the lead early in the second when Lars Eller picked up a Nick Jensen rebound and made a behind-the-back pass to Olle Lycksell, who put a shot in at the side of the net for his first goal with the Senators.
The 26-year-old was drafted 168th overall by the Flyers in 2017 and played 45 games for Philly before signing with the Senators this summer.
The victory gave the Senators a 2-1-1 record on their four-game homestand while the Flyers remain winless on the road.
Takeaways
Senators: With five opportunities, the Senators’ power play had plenty of chances to be a difference maker but didn’t generate enough.
Flyers: The Flyers generated chances but were unable to capitalize and went 0-for-3 on the power play.
Key moment
With the game on the line, Ullmark stymied Travis Konecny’s slap shot with less than five minutes to go in the third period.
Key stat
The Senators have given up the first goal in all but one game this season.
. Up next
Senators: Ottawa heads to Washington to take on the Capitals Saturday.
Flyers: The Flyers will host the New York Islanders Saturday.
