The battle between the Brothers Tkachuk was the marquee attraction of Sunday night’s game between the Calgary Flames and the Ottawa Senators. But it was the Flames’ depth players that elevated them to a 2-1 victory in Canada’s capital city.

The Flames were energetic early and got on the board early. Sam Bennett forced a turnover with a hit, dislodging the puck and allowing him to feed to Mikael Backlund. Backlund’s wrister from the slot beat Craig Anderson to give the visitors a 1-0 edge.
