OTTAWA \u2014 Shane Pinto<\/a>\u2019s shootout winner helped the Ottawa Senators<\/a> salvage a rough outing with a 3-2 win over the Nashville Predators<\/a> Saturday night.<\/p>\n

The Predators took a delay-of-game penalty for a puck over glass with 13 seconds remaining in regulation providing the Senators the perfect opportunity, but a stagnant Ottawa power play was unable to capitalize. Ottawa went 1-for-6 on the night with the man advantage.<\/p>\n

Tim Stutzle and Drake Batherson<\/a> \u2014 who tied the game at 18:37 of the third period \u2014 also scored for the Senators (4-1-0). Linus Ullmark<\/a> turned away 16 shots.<\/p>\n

Jonathan Marchessault<\/a> and Ross Colton<\/a> scored for Nashville (2-1-2), while Matt Murray<\/a> made 18 stops.<\/p>\n

Saturday\u2019s game concluded a three-game Eastern Canada road trip for the Predators.<\/p>\n

Trailing 2-1 to start the final period, the Senators didn\u2019t generate their first shot until 16:06 of the third, but just over two minutes later Batherson scored the tying goal with Ullmark on the bench for an extra attacker.<\/p>\n

Ottawa cut the Predators lead in half with a power-play goal of their own midway through the second period. Stutzle took a pass from Dylan Cozens<\/a> and beat Murray blocker side.<\/p>\n

Ottawa had a 54-second two-man advantage later in the period but could not take advantage. <\/p>\n

Nashville took a 2-0 lead in the first period.<\/p>\n

Colton opened the scoring after taking a pass out front and beating Ullmark high glove side.<\/p>\n

The Predators made it 2-0 with a power-play goal. Steven Stamkos<\/a> found Marchessault down low and beat Ullmark five-hole for his first of the season.<\/p>\n

Andre Burakovsky<\/a> made his Senators debut after missing the first four games due to injury.<\/p>\n

Defenceman Jayden Struble<\/a> made his Nashville debut Saturday. Struble was acquired Friday from the Montreal Canadiens<\/a>. Centre Vitali Pinchuk<\/a> made his NHL debut for the Predators.<\/p>\n
