Pyatt, Senators edge Maple Leafs

-

Tom Pyatt broke a tie with 3:05 left and the Ottawa Senators beat the Maple Leafs, 4-3, last night in Toronto in the final game for both teams before their bye weeks.

Pyatt took a feed from Matt Duchene on a 3-on-1 — after Toronto defenseman Morgan Rielly got caught pinching at Ottawa’s blue line — and beat Frederik Andersen high to the blocker side.

Thomas Chabot, Mike Hoffman and Gabriel Dumont also scored to help the Senators rebound from an 8-2 home loss to Chicago on Tuesday night. Craig Anderson made 44 saves after being pulled against the Blackhawks.

Andreas Borgman, James van Riemsdyk and Rielly scored for Toronto, and Andersen made 29 saves.

Ottawa’s Bobby Ryan missed the game with a hand injury suffered the night before against Chicago. There is no time table for his return. He was replaced by Filip Chlapik, who was recalled from Belleville of the AHL.

Wild 2, Blackhawks 1 — Ryan Suter gave his team the lead on a 4-on-4 early in the third period, Devan Dubnyk made 34 saves and Minnesota won in Chicago to end a two-game slide.

Jonas Brodin scored in the second period for Minnesota (23-17-4). The Wild pulled two points ahead of Chicago (21-16-6) in the tight Central Division and tussle for playoff spots in the Western Conference.

Blackhawks defenseman Brent Seabrook, a healthy scratch in Chicago’s 8-2 win in Ottawa on Tuesday night, was back in the lineup and celebrated with his first goal since opening night.

Also yesterday, the Blackhawks acquired winger Anthony Duclair from the Arizona Coyotes in a fourplayer trade. The deal also sends winger Richard Panik and minor leaguer Laurent Dauphin to Arizona. Chicago also gets defenseman Adam Clendening.
