The Ottawa Senators defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-2 on Saturday night. Senators defenceman Dennis Gilbert left the game after a collision with Leafs defenceman Oliver Ekman-Larsson.
The Ottawa Senators dominated their game against the Toronto Maple Leafs, scoring the first three goals. The Senators' Jordan Spence had two assists, and Warren Foegele scored the game-winning goal. Dennis Gilbert was injured late in the third period when Ekman-Larsson slammed him into the boards as Gilbert attempted a play.
