Cozens carried the puck into the offensive zone, dished a pass to Brady Tkachuk at the right boards and drove to the net. Tkachuk found Chabot with a pass in the high slot where he beat Woll high to the glove side.<\/p>\n<p>The Senators outshot the Maple Leafs 16-2 in the first period after Toronto recorded the first two shots of the game. In total, Ottawa had 19 straight shots until Matthews was stopped by Ullmark at 1:30 of the second period.<\/p>\n<p>Cozens put Ottawa up 2-1 at 3:03 of the second period. Chabot&#8217;s shot from the left point deflected off Toronto defenseman Troy Stetcher&#8217;s left arm to Cozens, who scored into an open net from in front.<\/p>\n<p>Batherson pushed the lead to 3-1 at 13:05 with a snap shot off the far post from low in the right circle after Maple Leafs defenseman Jake McCabe turned the puck over.<\/p>\n<p>Nylander cut it to 3-2 just 51 seconds later at 13:56 when he got to the rebound off a Scott Laughton shot and squeezed the puck between the post and Ullmark\u2019s outstretched left pad.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Batherson scored his second of the period to make it 4-2 at 15:15. Claude Giroux checked Matthew Knies in the neutral zone, which led to a turnover that Batherson collected and shot low to the blocker side from the high slot. Toronto challenged the play for offside, but the goal was upheld after a video review.<\/p>\n<p>On the ensuing power play, Cozens extended it to 5-2 with his second goal at 16:06. Tim Stutzle sent a pass from below the goal line to Cozens in the right circle, where he sent a wrist shot in off Woll&#8217;s glove to chase him from the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Drake Batherson also scored twice, and Thomas Chabot had a goal and an assist for the Senators (29-22-8),&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":506735,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194295],"tags":[49,48,20739],"class_list":["post-506734","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ottawa","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-ottawa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/506734","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=506734"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/506734\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/506735"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=506734"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=506734"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=506734"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
