Nick Cousins<\/a> regained the lead for Ottawa, 2-1, at 1:50 of the second period. Off the rush, Cousins attempted to pass across to\u00a0Michael Amadio<\/a>, but the puck deflected off defenseman Samuel Girard<\/a> and back to Cousins, who tapped it in on the backhand.<\/p>\n

Karlsson tied it 2-2 at 3:45, connecting again with Rakell for a goal from the left face-off circle.<\/p>\n

Rakell\u2019s power-play goal gave the Penguins a 3-2 lead at 1:43 of the third period, their first of the night. Karlsson fed Rakell at the left dot during a 5-on-3 for his third goal in his past two games.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re trying to have more fun with it, even though it\u2019s a lot on the line,\u201d Rakell said. \u201cYou just got to be patient when you take shots; it\u2019s a 1-on-1 when you score.\u201d<\/p>\n

Batherson\u2019s second goal of the game tied it 3-3 at 3:58 after collecting a netfront rebound from a Stutzle shot following the face-off. The Penguins challenged for goaltender interference, but the call on the ice was upheld following video review.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw (Claude Giroux<\/a>) was in the blue paint, there\u2019s contact there,\u201d Muse said. \u201cI felt like it affected Stu\u2019s ability to play it with the way that he spins, he gets his stick, that impacts the goalie\u2019s ability to make the save.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both sides made multiple big saves in overtime, including Ullmark robbing Tommy Novak<\/a>\u00a0on the breakaway with under 20 seconds to go.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Linus got us that point tonight,\u201d Tkachuk said. \u201cHe played unreal tonight, made some huge saves at the right time. We got the point because of him.\u201d<\/p>\n

NOTES: Stutzle became the fourth German player in NHL history to reach 400 career points, joining Leon Draisaitl<\/a> (1,053),\u00a0Marco Sturm (487) and\u00a0Jochen Hecht (463). He also became the seventh player to reach the 400-point milestone with the Senators. Stutzle required the third-fewest games among the group to hit the mark (439 games), behind only Jason Spezza<\/a> (388) and\u00a0Alexei\u00a0Yashin (417). \u2026 Karlsson collected his 714th career assist and surpassed Daniel Alfredsson<\/a> (713) for the fifth most by a Swedish player in NHL history. \u2026 Karlsson has recorded three or more points in each of his past three road games. The only defensemen with a similar streak in NHL history are Bobby Orr<\/a> (4 games in 1970-71 and three in 1973-74), Kris Letang<\/a> (three in 2023-24), Roman Josi<\/a> (three in 2021-22), Phil Housley<\/a> (three in 1992-93), Borje Salming<\/a> (three in 1984-85) and Paul Coffey<\/a> (three in 1983-84).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nick Cousins regained the lead for Ottawa, 2-1, at 1:50 of the second period.
