Zack Ostapchuk’s short-handed goal at 12:36 of the third period snapped a 1-1 deadlock and lifted the Ottawa Senators to a 2-1 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs in NHL pre-season action on Tuesday night.
Sep 24, 2024 at 09:49 PM ETOTTAWA — The Ottawa Senators were happy to earn a 2-1 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday night, but more important was the work that went into getting the pre-season victory.
Cousins is just one of many new, veteran voices in the Senators' locker room this year who will be counted on to help lead the way. Tied 1-1 in the third, Zach Ostapchuk scored what proved to be the game winner, a short-handed marker at 12:36 of third after he stole the puck from Nicolas Mattinen.“It definitely felt good,” said Ostapchuk. “I wasn’t too happy with my first period so to get that one and kind of get the game winner was big for our team so it was nice.”
Alex Steeves scored the lone goal for Toronto . Anthony Stolarz started the game for Toronto and allowed one goal on 16 shots, while Dennis Hildeby took over midway through the second and gave up one goal on 11 shots.“It was a good, hard battle by our team,” he said. “You know, it was tight. We had opportunities, our goalies were good and I thought the guys competed hard in the game.The game was tied 1-1 after 40 minutes.
“They did a good job,” said Green. “It’s a new system to them. A lot of new players killing and it’s going to take a little time so you have to be patient with it, but also with being patient trying to fast track.”Toronto opened the scoring at 6:09 off a faceoff battle. Steeves was able to dig out a loose puck and fired a shot to beat Forsberg.
