Ottawa tops Colorado 4-3 to sweep series of 2 Sweden games
STOCKHOLM — Mike Hoffman and the Ottawa Senators made the most of their short stay in Sweden.
Hoffman scored two goals to help the Senators beat the Colorado Avalanche 4-3 on Saturday for a sweep of their two regular-season games in the Swedish capital.
Mark Stone and Johnny Oduya also scored for Ottawa, which trailed 3-2 after two periods. Defenceman Erik Karlsson had two assists, giving the captain 17 points in 11 games this season.
“It’s huge,” Hoffman said. “Both the games were close, tied till the end. Leaving Sweden with four points definitely feels good.”
