Brady Tkachuk’s milestone moment fuels Senators
Brady Tkachuk wasted no time making an impact, blasting a one-timer just 24 seconds into the game off a perfect setup from Claude Giroux. The goal marked a milestone, Tkachuk’s 400th career point solidifying his place among Ottawa’s all-time greats.
Philadelphia fought back twice, but the Senators had answers. Tyler Kleven’s pinpoint wrist shot restored Ottawa’s lead moments after Jamie Drysdale’s equalizer. When the Flyers struck again, Michael Amadio’s sneaky low shot put the Senators ahead for good.
Ottawa Senators dominate final period
The Flyers pushed hard in the third period, including a dangerous 3-on-1 rush, but a clutch defensive play from Matthew Highmore and a key stop by Anton Forsberg shut the door. Ottawa then capitalized on a turnover, Dylan Cozens sniped a top-shelf goal, extending the lead to 4-2. Shane Pinto sealed the deal with an empty-netter, ensuring the Senators’ victory.
Forsberg stood tall with 20 saves, anchoring Ottawa’s defense when it mattered most.
