St. Louis Blues vs. Ottawa Senators: Game Highlights

Linus Ullmark made 26 saves to record his second victory of the season.

The Senators chased Blues’ starting goalie Joel Hofer after he let in five goals — including back-to-back power-play efforts from Tkachuk in the second period — on 21 shots.

Jordan Binnington allowed three goals in relief.

The Blues finally got on the board with a power-play goal from Dylan Holloway at 9:04 of the third period.

Takeaways Blues: St. Louis has surrendered 13 goals over two games after Montreal Canadiens on Saturday.
