Tim Stützle helps Senators dump Devils 4-1 to keep hot start going
Tim Stützle had a goal and an assist, while Linus Ullmark stopped 29 of 30 shots as Ottawa improved to 5-1.
The Ottawa Senators defeated the New Jersey Devils 4-1 on Monday in Newark, with Tim Stützle recording a goal and an assist while Shane Pinto and Stephen Halliday added goals.
Despite missing defensemen Jake Sanderson and Artem Zub plus forward William Eklund, the Ottawa Senators have won five of their first six games, crediting timely scoring and fast-paced play.
Shane Pinto scored nine seconds into the second period, beating goalie Nico Daws off the rush following Michael Amadio's pass; Stephen Halliday added a power-play goal after Brett Pesce lost his footing.
New Jersey Devils fans booed as the home team fell to a 2-3-0 record while struggling to integrate new roster additions. Defenseman Nikolas Matinpalo left with an upper-body injury after being boarded by Anthony Mantha in the first period.
The Ottawa Senators return home Tuesday to host the Louis Blues, while the New Jersey Devils travel to visit the Detroit Red Wings on the same day.
