Nick Cousins breaks late tie as Senators beat Mammoth 4-2

Nick Cousins scored the go-ahead goal with 2:18 to play as the Ottawa Senators beat the Utah Mammoth 4-2 at Canadian Tire Centre on Saturday. He tipped the puck past Karel Vejmelka after Thomas Chabot sent it toward the crease. Shane Pinto added an empty-net goal with 16 seconds left.

Ottawa had taken a 2-1 lead earlier in the third period when Michael Amadio finished a return pass from Claude Giroux. Barrett Hayton tied it for Utah by deflecting a Clayton Keller shot.

Samuel Ersson stopped 30 shots for Ottawa, and Vejmelka made 17 saves for Utah. Pinto and Amadio each had a goal and an assist, as did Keller for the Mammoth.
