Senators Edge Predators 3-2 in Shootout as Pinto Nets Winner

The Ottawa Senators rallied from 2-0 down to beat the Nashville Predators 3-2 in a shootout Saturday night at Canadian Tire Centre, with Shane Pinto scoring the decisive goal to lift Ottawa to 4-1-0.
Why it matters
The Senators keep rolling early in the season: trailing 2-0 at home on Saturday night, Ottawa battled back to force overtime and beat the Predators in a shootout, improving to 4-1-0 and staying near the top of the division.
At Canadian Tire Centre, Nashville struck twice in the first period through Ross Colton and Jonathan Marchessault (power play). Ottawa cut the deficit midway through the second when Tim Stützle finished a feed from Dylan Cozens, and Drake Batherson tied it at 18:37 of the third with the goalie pulled for an extra attacker.
Overtime solved nothing before Shane Pinto buried the shootout winner. Linus Ullmark made 16 saves for Ottawa; Matt Murray stopped 18 for Nashville. Notables: André Burakovsky made his Senators debut, Predators rookie Vitali Pinchuk collected an assist in his NHL debut, and defenceman Jayden Struble — acquired Friday from Montreal — debuted for Nashville.
