The Ottawa Senators shut out the Vancouver Canucks 2-0 in regulation, fueled by a second-period goal from Ridly Greig and an empty-netter by Brady Tkachuk. The Senators' defense clamped down on the Canucks' attack, keeping them off the scoreboard entirely.
After a scoreless first period, Ottawa broke through at 31:00 when Greig finished a feed from Shane Pinto. Vancouver pressed in the third but could not solve the Senators' goaltending. Tkachuk iced the win with an empty-net goal at 59:00, assisted by Artem Zub.
Greig's second-period strike stood as the game-winner, and the Senators' defensive structure prevented any Vancouver response. The shutout was a clean effort from start to finish, with Ottawa's penalty kill and netminding holding firm.
