The Tampa Bay Lightning edged the Ottawa Senators 4-3, ending the Senators' five-game winning streak. Brandon Hagel's goal early in the third period broke a 2-2 tie, followed by an empty-netter from Ryan McDonagh that solidified the victory. Tampa Bay dominated early with a 10-2 shot advantage, but Ottawa struck first with a power play goal from Michael Amadio.
