Tkachuk Orchestrates Ottawa's Third-Period Explosion in 6-2 Win · Apr. 7, 2026
Tied 1-1 heading into the third, Ottawa's captain Brady Tkachuk put the game away with three assists as the Senators poured in five unanswered goals to run out 6-2 winners over Tampa Bay. Defenseman Jake Sanderson delivered his first-ever multi-goal NHL game in the surge, setting new career highs with his 12th and 13th of the season — the second arriving on a power play just 13 seconds after Stutzle's goal. The vital two points keep Ottawa two ahead of Columbus for the final Eastern Conference wild card spot.
