The NHL out-of-town scoreboard was extra kind to the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday night. The Detroit Red Wings and Columbus Blue Jackets both had a chance to pull farther away from the Senators, but both clubs suffered regulation losses.

Tim Stutzle scored on a deflection off his skate at 46 seconds of overtime to give the Ottawa Senators a 4-3 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday night.

The Ottawa Senators can’t afford to let points slip away. Not anymore. Trying to make the playoffs for the first time since 2017, the Senators aren’t making it easy on themselves but they scored a 4-3 overtime decision over the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday night at the United Center.

Ryan Donato’s team-leading 23rd goal wasn’t enough to stave off the Chicago Blackhawks’ 4-3 overtime loss to the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday night.
