Red Wings get past Senators in OT win

Athanasiou’s second goal comes 6 seconds into extra period

Andreas Athanasiou scored 6 seconds into overtime to give the host Detroit Red Wings a 2-1 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday.

It was the second goal of the night for Athanasiou. Dylan Larkin took the opening faceoff in overtime and, after the puck went forward a bit, both Athanasiou and Ottawa standout Erik Karlsson reached for it.

Athanasiou was able to control it and skated in behind Karlsson on a breakaway. He beat goalie Craig Anderson with a backhander high to the glove side.

Ryan Dzingel scored for the Senators. Ottawa lost for the 18th time in 22 games.

BLACKHAWKS 5, RANGERS 2>> Patrick Sharp broke a tie early in the third period and Chicago beat host New York. Nick Holden and Mika Zibanejad scored for the Rangers.

GOLDEN KNIGHTS LOCK UP LEADING SCORER MARCHESSAULT >> The Vegas Golden Knights signed scoring leader Jonathan Marchessault to a $30 million, sixyear contract extension, the clearest sign yet that the first-year, first-place organization is going for it. PREDATORS’ FORSBERG OUT FOUR TO SIX WEEKS >> Nashville Predators forward and leading scorer Filip Forsberg will miss four to six weeks with an upper-body injury.
