The Capitals showed life on the power play and maintained control after it expired and capitalized with Hutson finding Dubois at the side of the net for a wide-open shot to tie it 2-2 at 12:31 of the third.

Ersson made a big save on Jack St. Ivany with four minutes remaining to keep the game tied.

With 2:57 remaining Jakob Chychrun laid a huge hit on Nick Cousins and no penalty was called to Ottawa’s disappointment. Cousins needed help getting off the ice.

Down 1-0 after the first, the Senators scored twice to lead 2-1 after 40 minutes.

Thomas Chabot set up both goals for the Senators.

On the first, Chabot kept the puck in at the blue line and fed Michael Amadio, who quickly passed it back. Chabot then found Greig in the slot, where he beat Thompson off his backhand.

Ottawa took the lead late in the period when Chabot took a pass from Stephen Halliday and put the puck through Chychrun’s legs to Hodgson for his first of the season.

The Capitals opened the scoring just 35 seconds into the game when Roy took a pass from Chychrun and fired a slap shot past Ersson for his first of the season.

Greig returned to Ottawa’s lineup after missing two games.
