Michael Amadio<\/a> had a goal and an assist, Brady Tkachuk<\/a> and Tim Stutzle<\/a> scored, and Nick Cousins<\/a> tallied two assists for the Senators (31-22-9), who have won three of four and extended their point streak to six games (4-0-2). Linus Ullmark<\/a>\u00a0made 17 saves.<\/p>\n

Jacob Melanson<\/a>, Eeli Tolvanen<\/a> and Matty Beniers<\/a> scored, Jordan Eberle<\/a> had two assists, and Joey Daccord<\/a>\u00a0made 29 saves for the Kraken (29-24-9), who have lost their past two games after winning two.<\/p>\n

Melanson made it 1-0 at 8:45 of the first period off a 3-on-2 rush. Ben Meyers<\/a> drove to the net and tipped Ryan Winterton<\/a>\u2019s shot out of the air. Melanson found the rebound and chipped it over a sprawling Ullmark.<\/p>\n

Tyler Kleven<\/a> tied it 1-1, 34 seconds later at 9:19, sliding down from the point to the left circle, catching a saucer pass from Pinto in the far corner, and snapping it past Daccord\u2019s glove.<\/p>\n

Dylan Cozens<\/a> gave Ottawa a 2-1 lead at 13:35, cutting across the slot and wristing a shot from the right circle that went off Daccord\u2019s left arm and in.<\/p>\n

Pinto pushed it to 3-1 at 1:34 of the second period when Artem Zub<\/a>\u2019s shot from the point bounced off Daccord\u2019s blocker, then Pinto\u2019s leg and into the net.<\/p>\n

Amadio extended the lead to 4-1 at 10:09 after Pinto found him in the slot from behind the net, and Amadio redirected it past Daccord\u2019s glove with a wrist shot.<\/p>\n

Tolvanen cut it to 4-2 at 15:00 with a slap shot from the top of the right circle past Ullmark\u2019s glove.<\/p>\n

Warren Foegele<\/a>, playing his first game for Ottawa after he was acquired in a trade with the Los Angeles Kings at the 2026 NHL Trade Deadline on Thursday, made it 5-2 at 2:42 of the third period after Lars Eller<\/a>\u00a0intercepted Daccord\u2019s clearing attempt. Eller then slid it to Foegele, who scored through Daccord\u2019s five-hole from the slot.<\/p>\n

Stutzle scored into an open net to make it 6-2 at 3:58 after Drake Batherson<\/a>\u00a0got the bouncing puck in the slot and found Stutzle open at the top of the crease for the wrist shot, and Tkachuk made it 7-2 off a 2-on-1 rush at 7:24.<\/p>\n

Beniers tipped Cale Fleury<\/a>\u2019s point shot over Ullmark\u2019s glove with his extended skate blade to make it 7-3 at 10:16, and Brandon Montour<\/a> scored a power-play goal from the left circle with a one-timer set up by Vince Dunn<\/a>\u00a0at 17:45 for the 7-4 final.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Michael Amadio had a goal and an assist, Brady Tkachuk and Tim Stutzle scored, and Nick Cousins tallied…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":522080,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194295],"tags":[49,48,20739],"class_list":["post-522079","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\/522079","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=522079"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/522079\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/522080"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=522079"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=522079"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=522079"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
