OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Nick Leddy scored his second goal of the first period on a penalty shot and the New York Islanders beat the Ottawa Senators 4-2 on Friday night for their sixth straight victory.
“It was a gritty win,” Leddy said. “I don’t think it was our best game, but gritty nonetheless and we got the two points.”
Matt Martin and Derick Brassard also scored and Thomas Greiss made 30 saves to help the Islanders improve to 6-3-0 and drop the Senators to 2-6-1
Tyler Ennis scored twice for Ottawa. Anders Nilsson allowed four goals on 16 shots before being pulled.
