Karlsson scores OT winner in 600th career game as Senators edge Ducks 2-1
OTTAWA — It was only fitting that Senators captain Erik Karlsson would have the overtime winner in his 600th NHL game.
Karlsson scored 32 seconds into extra time to lead Ottawa to a 2-1 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday and snap a six-game losing skid.
“I’m very fortunate to play as many games as I have and I’m very lucky in that aspect and hopefully I have 600 more,” said Karlsson. “First and foremost the win was the best thing (Thursday). That’s what we were after and it’s nice to see that we got it.”
Bobby Ryan scored in regulation for Ottawa (16-24-9) and Mike Condon stopped 30 shots for the win.
