3-0
NEW YORK (AP) --- Ridly Greig scored a short-handed goal, Linus Ullmark stopped
all 23 shots he faced and the Ottawa Senators moved to the verge of clinching a
playoff spot by shutting out the New York Islanders 3-0 on Saturday.
Ottawa is in if Detroit loses at home in regulation to New Jersey. The
Islanders' hopes took another hit with a fifth loss in six games.
Senators captain Brady Tkachuk took a puck up high late in the second period,
returned for one shift in the third and then did not return.
Greig made it a 1-0 game with 6:54 remaining in the first. Jake Sanderson
scored in the third, and Michael Amadio sealed it with an empty-netter. The
Islanders went 0 for 5 on the power play.
New York is now 1-1 since firing coach Patrick Roy and hiring Peter DeBoer as
his replacement. Ilya Sorokin allowed two goals on 15 shots.
Up next
Senators: Visit the Devils on Sunday night.
Islanders: Host the Montreal Canadiens on Sunday.
