OTTAWA, ON – Brady Tkachuk, Tim Stützle and Adam Gaudette each scored two goals as the Ottawa Senators beat the St. Louis Blues 8-1 on Tuesday night.
The game was delayed 30 minutes due to power outage at the Canadian Tire Centre, but the Senators offense came out fully charged after that.
Josh Norris scored a minute into the game, while Noah Gregor added another just three minutes later before Stützle — who snapped a six-game goalless drought — added his first of the game.
Linus Ullmark made 26 saves to record his second victory of the season.
The Senators chased Blues’ starting goalie Joel Hofer after he let in five goals — including back-to-back power-play efforts from Tkachuk in the second period — on 21 shots.
Jordan Binnington allowed three goals in relief.
The Blues finally got on the board with a power-play goal from Dylan Holloway at 9:04 of the third period.
It was the second time in 15 days the Senators scored eight goals, after an 8-7 overtime victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Oct. 14.
