Sanderson led the Senators to a Golden State victory over the Golden Knights

LAS VEGAS — Jake Sanderson had a goal and two assists and Shane Pinto scored the lone shootout goal to lead the Ottawa Senators to a rare win over the Golden Knights 4-3 on Wednesday night in Vegas.

The Golden Knights have won six of seven games against Ottawa at T-Mobile Arena and are 12-1-1 overall. The Senators’ lone victory in Las Vegas came on March 2, 2018, a 5–4 victory.

Vegas dropped to 1-8 in overtime games. The Golden Knights have points in seven of eight games, but four were overtime losses.

Pinto and Drake Betherson also scored in regulation for Ottawa. Tim Stozel and Claude Groux each had two assists, and Stozel has at least one point in all five games he’s played on the field. Linus Olmark took 32 wickets.

Golden Knights captain Mark Stone, back in the lineup after being sidelined for more than a month with a wrist injury, tied the game with a power-play goal in the third period. Jake Eichel produced a goal and an assist, and Brett Howden also scored. Akira Schmid blocked 20 shots.

The Senators led 3-1 after the first period before forcing Vegas into overtime with one goal in the second and another in the third.

After neither team scored in overtime, the first four shooters in the shootout failed to find the back of the net. This includes Echelon, with a video review of No Purpose. But then Pinto scored, and Ottawa won when Vegas’ Mech Marner couldn’t catch Olmark.

Ottawa’s five-game streak of allowing fewer than 25 shots on goal is just one shy of the team record set in 2009.

It was the 100th career game for Vegas defenseman Kaden Korczyk.

Senators: Play at St. Louis on Friday afternoon.

Golden Knights: Will host Montreal on Friday afternoon.
