In an exciting shootout victory, the Senators broke an 0-6 losing streak at the Air Canada Centre.
Stuck in a drought that dated back before the 2012-13 lockout, Ottawa walked into the ACC without a win against the Leafs in Toronto in six straight games.
The Leafs came out firing in the opening stages of the first period, forcing Craig Anderson to make a few key saves early on. It took the Senators nearly four minutes to register their first shot on goal; Mark Stone tipped a weak Patrick Wiercioch wrist shot that was swallowed up by James Reimer.
