Shane Pinto lifts Senators past Islanders in shootout

Shane Pinto scored the decisive goal in a shootout to give the Ottawa Senators a 2-1 victory over the New York Islanders on Thursday night. Linus Ullmark made 20 saves across regulation and overtime, subsequently denying Simon Holmstrom in the shootout to secure Ottawa's sixth win in eight games. Ridly Greig recorded the Senators' only regulation tally in the second period.

The Islanders opened the scoring late in the first period when Matias Maccelli scored an unassisted goal following a turnover. Earlier in the frame, Ottawa had two goals overturned upon video review. Semyon Varlamov recorded 18 saves for New York, but neither team converted on power-play opportunities during a scoreless overtime period.
