Senators' Defense Spurs Offense in Win vs. Avalanche
Ottawa's multiple scorers and 16 saves by James Reimer led to a 5-2 win over Colorado, who managed only eight shots after 40 minutes, losing three of their last four games.
- On Jan. 28, 2026, the Ottawa Senators defeated the league-leading Colorado Avalanche 5-2 in Ottawa, with Tim Stutzle scoring a goal and assist, Artem Zub adding two assists, and James Reimer making 16 saves.
- Colorado produced only eight shots after 40 minutes and failed to generate scoring chances, while Ottawa Senators delivered a solid 60-minute effort with contributions from multiple scorers and James Reimer making 16 saves.
- Nick Cousins started the scoring at 3:21 after Artem Zub's long outlet pass, and Ridly Greig reclaimed the lead following a banked puck and foot race beating Keaton Middleton and Mackenzie Blackwood.
- The defeat marks Colorado's third loss in four games, and both teams face quick turnarounds with Ottawa hosting the New Jersey Devils Saturday and Colorado traveling to Montreal Thursday.
- In stark contrast to their season form, the Colorado Avalanche began the day leading NHL shot metrics but generated just 0.1 expected goals in a period and finished with 18 shots on goal.
