Leclaire turns aside 31 Oiler shots as Senators get win
OTTAWA — Jason Spezza scored the deciding goal in the shootout, but Pascal Leclaire won the game for the Ottawa Senators.
Leclaire made 31 saves, and the Senators twice came from behind for a 4-3 win over the Edmonton Oilerst.
With the game tied 2-2 midway through the third, Leclaire stopped Andrew Cogliano on a breakaway and then Denis Grebeshkov moments later with a toe save in close to keep the game tied.
"I just tried to follow them as much as I could," Leclaire said. "These guys are pretty skilled and have a lot of offensive ability. You have to be patient with them."
Chris Neil scored his third goal of the season with just under 7 minutes left in regulation to give the Senators a 3-2 lead, but Gilbert Brule tied the game less than 2 minutes later with a hard shot from the slot that trickled past Leclaire.
Jonathan Cheechoo and Nick Foligno also scored for the Senators. Dustin Penner and Ethan Moreau had first-period goals for the Oilers, and Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers stopped 22 shots.
In other NHL games on Tuesday night it was the Bruins 3, Penguins 0; Wild 5, Maple Leafs 2; Flames 1, Canadiens 0 and Blues 6, Canucks 1.
