Linus Ullmark’s 48 Saves Propel Senators to 2-1 Victory Over Red Wings

Ottawa secures first Eastern Conference wild-card spot as Detroit's playoff hopes fade with sixth straight loss.

Linus Ullmark delivered a standout performance with 48 saves, including 27 in the second period, tying a franchise record for saves in a single period.
Dylan Cozens scored the game-winning goal on a late power play, marking his first goal as a Senator since being acquired at the trade deadline.
David Perron opened the scoring for Ottawa with a power-play goal, while Dylan Larkin netted Detroit’s lone goal in the third period.
The Senators' victory moves them into the first wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference, while the Red Wings fall further out of playoff contention, sitting four points behind Columbus.
Detroit dominated stretches of the game, outshooting Ottawa 49-23, but Ullmark’s exceptional goaltending proved decisive in the result.
