Ottawa, ON – Getting a win against the St. Louis Blues was nice for the Ottawa Senators and their fans. Seeing two players who could be key to their future was better.
Anders Nilsson stopped 34 shots for his second shutout of the season as the Senators beat the Blues 2-0 on Thursday night. Christian Wolanin and Chris Tierney scored to help Ottawa snap a three-game losing streak. The shutout was Nilsson’s sixth of his career.
Defenseman Erik Brannstrom and forward Max Veronneau made their NHL debuts for the rebuilding Senators.
Veronneau, 23, was born and raised in Ottawa and played three years of junior hockey in the city with Gloucester before embarking on his four-year collegiate career at Princeton. He signed a two-year entry level contract with the Senators on Tuesday after the Tigers were eliminated from the NCAA playoffs and his first skate with the NHL team was on Wednesday.
Brannstrom, who was playing with the Senators’ AHL affiliate in Belleville, Ontario, was an emergency call-up due to injuries on the Ottawa blue line. The 19-year old Swede, who was the 15th overall pick by Vegas in 2017, was dealt to the Senators in the trade that sent Mark Stone to the Golden Knights at the deadline.

Jake Allen made 19 saves in the loss for the Blues.
The Senators opened the scoring with 6:33 left in the second when Wolanin took a cross-ice pass from Mikkel Boedker. Wolanin had an empty net to shoot at as Allen and the rest of the Blues were focusing on Boedker.
Tierney scored into an empty net with 57 seconds to play.
