NHL INBRIEF

SENS 3, LEAFS 2 (SO)

TORONTO — The Ottawa Senators rallied for their fifth win in the last six games and a perfect three-game road trip, topping the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-2 in a shootout on Saturday night.

Tom Pyatt scored the shootout winner after Mike Hoffman notched the game-tying goal with 71 seconds left in regulation. Bobby Ryan also found the back of the net for Ottawa (25-15-4), second in the Atlantic division with 54 points — three points up on the Leafs, who have lost two straight.

Mike Condon made 31 stops in the win; Frederik Andersen made 25 saves.

Tyler Bozak and Matt Martin both scored for Toronto, which dropped to 1-6 in the shootout this season.

The two teams were meeting for the second time in a week, the Leafs capturing the Jan. 14 affair 4-2 in the nation’s capital. Toronto was coming off a porous effort against the Rangers on Thursday night, one that head coach Mike Babcock dubbed as “terrible” for its lacking competitiveness.

Bogosian scored with a slap shot 1:48 into overtime, just a few seconds after Lehner robbed Montreal’s Alex Galchenyuk from the slot with his glove.

OILERS 7, FLAMES 3
