Frankie Marrelli and Ondrej Ruml scored for the 67\u2019s as goaltender Ryder Fetterolf made 28 saves before 2,825 at TD Place. Ottawa, 24-6-0 at home, is 39-14-3 for 81 points, second in the East Division and third in the conference.<\/p>\n

Ottawa, which trailed 2-1 through 40 minutes, tied it at 2:06 of the third period when Ruml wristed the puck from the mid slot on assists by Shaan Kingwell and Brayden Krawczyk, but Carey found the winner 4:58 later.<\/p>\n
Carey fired the puck from off the left wing, drove across the goalmouth and steered his own rebound around Fetterolf. Amidovski and Evgeny Dubrovtsev assisted on Carey\u2019s 13th goal of the season.<\/p>\n
Getting the puck from a left-wing faceoff win by Ryder Cali, Amidovski shot from the slot and saw the puck strike Fetterolf in the right shoulder and soar into the net. It was Amidovski\u2019s 21st goal.<\/p>\n
The Battalion connected for two late first-period goals after the teams traded chances through the frame, in which the Troops forged a 16-8 edge in shots.<\/p>\n

Procyszyn opened the scoring with his team-leading 24th goal at 18:35, firing a high drive from the blue line through traffic. Aaron Enright and Dubrovtsev were credited with assists.<\/p>\n
Greer doubled the lead with his ninth goal on the power play at 19:51, just 14 seconds after Nic Whitehead went off for high-sticking. Defenceman Greer stepped into the high slot and wired the puck past Fetterolf, with assists to Cali and Nick Wellenreiter.<\/p>\n
Fetterolf, who denied Wellenreiter on a solid chance in the fourth minute, made the stop against Nolan Laird driving alone off the left wing in the 16th. Lisson got the right pad on a shot by Connor Bewick on a breakaway in the 17th minute.<\/p>\n
Marrelli struck at 16:31 of the middle period after Kingwell gathered the puck from a scrum along the boards and fed it across to the defenceman, who scored from the left circle. Krawczyk had the other assist on Marrelli\u2019s ninth goal.<\/p>\n
