OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Josh Norris scored his second goal of the game with 41.6 seconds remaining to give the Ottawa Senators a 2-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday night.
Linus Ullmark stopped 19 shots for the Senators, who had allowed at least three goals in each of their previous nine games.
Ottawa (10-12-2) controlled play for long stretches but struggled to beat Ville Husso, who made 30 saves for Detroit (10-11-4).
The Senators opened the scoring at 12:14 of the first period when Norris, a Michigan native, was able to get his own rebound and put it past a sprawled Husso.
Detroit tied it at 6:15 of the third on a 4-on-3 advantage. Alex DeBrincat caught Ullmark moving for his 11th goal of the season.
