OTTAWA, Canada — Anton Forsberg made 17 saves in his Ottawa return for his first shutout of the season, Alex Laferriere scored in the first period, and the Kings beat the Senators 1-0 on Saturday night.
Forsberg was playing his first game against Ottawa after spending parts of five seasons with the Senators. The Kings have opened a six-game trip with four victories to improve to 10-5-4. They extended their road points streak to 10.
Laferriere scored on a tip at 9:19 of the first period.
Linus Ullmark stopped 17 shots for Ottawa. The Senators dropped to 9-6-4. They went 2-1-1 on their homestand and now hit the road for seven games.
Ottawa’s Jordan Spence, acquired via trade at the draft, played his first game against his former club. He had a couple good chances but, like the rest of his teammates, failed to beat Forsberg.
Up next for the Kings: at Washington on Monday night.
