OTTAWA — Linus Ullmark’s official debut with the Senators was a success, with the goaltender making 30 saves in a 3-1 win over the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers.
With the Senators holding a 2-1 lead in the third, Ullmark was solid making saves on Anton Lundell, Mackie Samoskevich and Carter Verhaeghe.
Ottawa took a two-goal lead in the first with Tim Stutzle’s power-play goal and a great solo effort from Shane Pinto to beat Sergei Bobrovsky, who made 29 saves, with a laser over the shoulder.Senators: A priority for Ottawa this season is better defensive play overall and with 27 blocked shots in the win, the Senators got off to a good start.
Panthers: The Panthers were slow to get started in the first period and paid the price, allowing Ottawa to jump out to a 2-0 lead and set the pace for the game.The Panthers pulled Bobrovsky with just over a minute remaining and when Aleksander Barkov went to take a shot from the point his stick broke, setting up a race for the puck with Stutzle winning the battle to score into an empty net.Ullmark came into the game with a 9-1-0 record against Florida in his last 10 starts against the Panthers.
Panthers: Are on a four-game road trip with their next stop in Buffalo Saturday night to face the Sabres.Lisa Wallace, The Canadian Press
