Pospisil gave Calgary a 1-0 lead at 17:04 of the first period, collecting a pass from Matvei Gridin<\/a>\u00a0and sending a wrist shot on net that deflected in off Ullmark’s right arm. It was Pospisil’s first goal of the season in his 10th game, and it came in his first game back after being a healthy scratch for the past two.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a pretty tight game until the end,\u201d Pospisil said. \u201cWe have to find a way to score some key goals. I think we have to bring way more energy. It\u2019s not the way we want to play. We have a tough schedule, lots of games, so we have to turn around and we have to get better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eller tied it 1-1 at 9:35 of the second period when he one-timed a Ridly Greig<\/a>\u00a0cross-ice feed to the glove side from the top of the right face-off circle.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of times it\u2019s about just doing all the work that leads to getting those looks,\u201d Eller said. \u201cSome games you\u2019re not getting the looks at all, so it\u2019s nice. Sometimes you only get [good chances] once a game and tonight I got one in a good spot and it was just, \u2018Let it go,\u2019 and good to see it get in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tim Stutzle<\/a> scored a short-handed, empty-net goal at 17:59 of the third period to make it 3-1, and Shane Pinto<\/a> also scored into an empty net at 19:46 for the 4-1 final.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a lot of looks,\u201d\u00a0Stutzle said. \u201cTheir goalie made some great saves. You\u2019ve got to give him credit and I\u2019ve just got to find a way to put those in, but it was a big win. Huge team effort. I think in the second and third everybody played great and those are big points for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

NOTES: Stutzle extended his point streak to 11 games (seven goals, eight assists). He also became the first Senators player to record multiple 11-game point streaks in a season; he had a 13-game run from\u00a0Dec. 9 to Jan. 5. … Ottawa forward\u00a0David Perron<\/a>\u00a0was traded to the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday for a conditional fourth-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft. He has 25 points (10 goals, 15 assists) in 49 games this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pospisil gave Calgary a 1-0 lead at 17:04 of the first period, collecting a pass from Matvei Gridin\u00a0and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":517909,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194295],"tags":[49,48,20739],"class_list":["post-517908","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\/517908","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=517908"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/517908\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/517909"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=517908"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=517908"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=517908"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
