NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Ridly Greig scored a short-handed goal, Linus Ullmark stopped all 23 shots he faced and the Ottawa Senators moved to the verge of clinching a playoff spot by shutting out the New York Islanders 3-0 on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Ottawa is in if Detroit loses at home in regulation to New Jersey. The Islanders’ hopes took another hit with a fifth loss in six games.<\/p>\n
Senators captain Brady Tkachuk took a puck up high late in the second period, returned for one shift in the third and then did not return.<\/p>\n
Greig made it a 1-0 game with 6:54 remaining in the first. Jake Sanderson scored in the third, and Michael Amadio sealed it with an empty-netter. The Islanders went 0 for 5 on the power play.<\/p>\n
New York is now 1-1 since firing coach Patrick Roy and hiring Peter DeBoer as his replacement. Ilya Sorokin allowed two goals on 15 shots.<\/p>\n
Senators: Visit the Devils on Sunday night.<\/p>\n
Islanders: Host the Montreal Canadiens on Sunday.<\/p>\n
