“It feels great to do it here in front of our fans, it’s just incredible,” Phaneuf said. “I’ve played a long time and this is my first overtime winner and it feels great. I tried to get as much on it and luckily it found a way through.”

The Senators rallied from a 3-1 deficit after the second period with two goals to force overtime.
