The Senators let a third-period lead slip away in a 3-2 overtime loss to Washington, but the bigger concern is Nick Cousins, who left the game after a crushing hit from former Senator Jakob Chychrun.
Cole Hutson scored the game-winning goal in overtime to lift the Washington Capitals to a 3-2 victory over the Ottawa Senators at Canadian Tire Centre. The loss ended Ottawa's two-game winning streak despite the Senators outshooting Washington 25-17. Matt Roy opened the scoring for the Capitals before Ridly Greig and Hayden Hodgson put Ottawa ahead 2-1 heading into the third period.
Pierre-Luc Dubois tied the game in the third period off an assist from Hutson, setting the stage for overtime. Late in regulation, Senators forward Nick Cousins exited the contest after taking a crushing hit from former teammate Jakob Chychrun. Hutson sealed the win for Washington shortly after an Ottawa penalty expired in the extra frame.
