Tim St\u00fctzle and Dylan Cozens led the way in the victory, which snapped a losing skid on the California swing. The result also gave the Senators their ninth win of October, tying a franchise record for the month and keeping the road trip from unravelling. <\/p>\n<p>Anaheim Ducks News &amp; Notes<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ducks placed veteran defenseman Nick Jensen on waivers Saturday, a move made for a potential AHL assignment and one that came only months after Anaheim signed him to a two-year, $4.5 million contract. Jensen, who has appeared in 697 NHL games, had dressed three times for the Ducks this season. The decision thins an experienced presence from the right side of a blue line that has leaned heavily on younger options through the opening weeks. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anaheim also recalled goaltender Laurent Brossoit from San Diego of the AHL, and he is in line to start Sunday against Ottawa at Honda Center. The call-up gives the Ducks a veteran option in net for the spot assignment rather than running their usual tandem again on the back half of the homestand. Brossoit had been working through games with the Gulls before the recall. <\/p>\n<p>Ottawa Senators Projected Lines<\/p>\n<p>Line 1: Fabian Zetterlund \u2013 Tim St\u00fctzle \u2013 Dylan Cozens<\/p>\n<p>Line 2: Philip Tomasino \u2013 Shane Pinto \u2013 Drake Batherson<\/p>\n<p>Line 3: Ridly Greig \u2013 Claude Giroux \u2013 Michael Amadio<\/p>\n<p>Line 4: Xavier Bourgault \u2013 Stephen Halliday \u2013 Nick Cousins<\/p>\n<p>Pair 1: Jake Sanderson \u2013 Artem Zub<\/p>\n<p>Pair 2: Thomas Chabot \u2013 Jordan Spence<\/p>\n<p>Pair 3: Tyler Kleven \u2013 Nikolas Matinpalo<\/p>\n<p>Goaltenders: Samuel Ersson \u2013 Jonas Johansson<\/p>\n<p>Ottawa Senators Special Teams<\/p>\n<p>Power play, First unit: Drake Batherson \u2013 Stephen Halliday \u2013 Dylan Cozens \u2013 Tim St\u00fctzle \u2013 Jake Sanderson<\/p>\n<p>Power play, Second unit: Ridly Greig \u2013 Shane Pinto \u2013 Claude Giroux \u2013 Fabian Zetterlund \u2013 Thomas Chabot<\/p>\n<p>Penalty kill, First unit: Shane Pinto \u2013 Ridly Greig \u2013 Jake Sanderson \u2013 Artem Zub<\/p>\n<p>Penalty kill, Second unit: Tim St\u00fctzle \u2013 Michael Amadio \u2013 Tyler Kleven \u2013 Thomas Chabot<\/p>\n<p>Anaheim Ducks Projected Lines<\/p>\n<p>Line 1: Alex Killorn \u2013 Leo Carlsson \u2013 Judd Caulfield<\/p>\n<p>Line 2: Cutter Gauthier \u2013 Mikael Granlund \u2013 Beckett Sennecke<\/p>\n<p>Line 3: A.J.
