The Ottawa Senators showed off their fancy new red jerseys at home for the first time on Thursday night.

Just for good measure, the Senators finished this night in style.

The Senators made a dramatic third-period comeback as Tim Stutzle and Shane Pinto scored in the skills contest as the club halted its three-game losing skid with a 4-3 shootout victory over the Seattle Kraken in front of 15,736 at the Canadian Tire Centre.

Dylan Cozens tied it up with Linus Ullmark pulled for the extra attacker with 1:46 left in the third period to send it to overtime. David Perron and Pinto also chipped in during regulation.

“That’s a big win for us,” said Cozens. “We were on that three-game skid, and we were playing well at times, but not for the full 60 minutes. So, for us to come home and grind one out is big for our confidence.”

Ullmark was huge with 34 stops.

“The third period, I thought they might have a little more energy than us, but I thought we were able to scratch and claw to find a way. It’s a good character to win,” said coach Travis Green.

CHANGING LINES

Green shifted almost everything around on Thursday in the second game since captain Brady Tkachuk was lost for two months with a thumb injury that required surgery.

Stutzle skated on a newly formed top line with Ridly Greig on the left and Claude Giroux on the right. Michael Amadio and Fabian Zetterlund moved to the third unit with Pinto.

Perron skated with Cozens and Drake Batherson. Arthur Kaliyev has been recalled from the club’s American Hockey League affiliate in Belleville and had a chance on the fourth line.

The Senators need to find a way to stir up some offence. They didn’t create enough chances, and when they did, Seattle goalie Philipp Grubauer was there to make the stop.

“This was a big win. Hopefully, we keep it rolling,” said Pinto.

The Senators pulled out to a 2-1 lead on the power play at 9:35 of the first when Perron picked up a loose puck and beat Grubauer on the glove side. Perron is one of the guys who has to step.

Nobody has had a better start than Pinto. He scored his sixth of the year to tie it up 1-1 with 12:18 left in the first. He became the first player in franchise history to score six goals in five games.

“It’s a long season. We’re only five games in, hopefully, I can just stay consistent for the boys,” said Pinto.

BACK TO LINUS

Ullmark has struggled to find his game, but he did give his club a chance to win on Monday against Nashville in a 4-1 loss. He came into his game with a 1-2-0 record with a 4.07 goals-against average and a .842 save percentage.

Those numbers have to improve dramatically for this club to make the playoffs. It’s not all on him, but the Senators need their goaltenders to make the necessary stops at key times in the game.

Ullmark came into this one with a 3-1-1 lifetime record against the Kraken with a 1.79 GAA and .936 save percentage. He had the fans on their feet with a huge glove stop on Eeli Tolvanen late in the second.

He saved his best for the third period by making some big stops to get it to overtime and had one of his best efforts of the season.

“I’m very happy that we found a way and got the win,” Ullmark said. “We have been playing pretty good and tonight we found a way to win, that’s important.”

Ullmark didn’t look great on a goal by Seattle’s Chandler Stephenson that tied it up 2-2 at 4:40 of the second. Cozens wasn’t good defensively, but Ullmark didn’t make the stop on a shot that beat him bar down.

The Senators can be their own worst enemies. For the fifth straight game, they surrendered the opening goal. That came on an effort by Shane Wright at 4:57 of the first on the first shot Ullmark faced.

Fortunately, the Senators responded.

RelatedGET IT TOGETHER

It’s early, but the Senators came into this game with the second-worst penalty kill in the league at 52.9 percent. The club had surrendered eight power-play goals in 17 attempts coming in this season.

Green is well aware that those numbers have to change.

“It’s been four games, there’s been a few breakdowns, there’s been a few lucky goals that have found their way into the net….I know it’s a hot topic here, it’s a hot topic in our room,” Green said before the game.

It was a talking point in this one as Stephenson’s second of the game gave the Kraken a 3-2 lead at 2:13 of the third. The club has to do something on the penalty kill because it just allows too many chances down.

That was only the second power play the Kraken had on this night, but the Senators were able to kill off another opportunity later in the period thanks to big stops from Ullmark.
