\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOttawa Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark (35) makes a blocker save on Toronto Maple Leafs’ John Tavares (91) during first period NHL hockey action in Ottawa, on Saturday, March 21, 2026. THE CANADIAN PRESS\/Justin Tang<\/p>\n
Trailing 3-1 to start the third the Leafs (29-29-13) made it close with a goal by Easton Cowan.<\/p>\n
The Senators regained the two-goal lead midway through the period when Michael Amadio, with his 12th, tucked in a Jordan Spence rebound. On an odd-man rush Dylan Cozens found Ridly Greig in the slot and he beat Woll, who stopped 39 shots.<\/p>\n
Linus Ullmark made a big glove save on Matias Maccelli early in the second to preserve Ottawa\u2019s 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n
The Senators made it 2-0 midway through the period when Claude Giroux grabbed a Tyler Kleven rebound and backhanded it past Woll.<\/p>\n
Warren Foegele made it 3-0 with just over two minutes remaining when his shot deflected off Benoit, but 21 seconds later John Tavares completed the give-and-go with Cowan and beat Ullmark under the arm.<\/p>\n
Ottawa opened the scoring at 14:58 of the first with a power-play goal. Tim Stutzle stepped into the faceoff circle and wristed a shot clean past Woll.<\/p>\n
Morgan Rielly missed the game and is listed as day-to-day with a lower-body injury.<\/p>\n
TAKEAWAYS<\/p>\n
Senators: The Senators tested Woll often and had good net-front presence to jump on rebounds.<\/p>\n
Leafs: Toronto struggled with Ottawa\u2019s forecheck in the second period and were held to five shots.<\/p>\n
