Duchene scores OT winner as Sens cap comeback with 6-5 win over Sharks
OTTAWA — The Ottawa Senators were able to pull off the unexpected Friday night.
The Senators mounted an unlikely comeback, scoring four unanswered goals to beat the San Jose Sharks 6-5 in overtime.
Matt Duchene scored his second of the game seven seconds into the extra period to give Ottawa a much-needed victory.
“I think we finally got rewarded for the things we’ve been doing,” said Duchene. “We’ve had some tough stretches defensively and offensively, but we’ve been doing a lot of good things for a while and it hasn’t been going in. It’s nice to see that happen. We had a lot of guys step up for us.
