Story summary

On Thursday night, Carter Yakemchuk scored the winning goal for the Ottawa Senators, securing their 2-1 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers. This marked Yakemchuk's first regular-season NHL goal after debuting in last spring’s playoffs. The game saw the Senators with four power-play chances but only five shots on goal during these opportunities. Nick Cousins opened the scoring for Ottawa, tipping a shot past Philadelphia goalie Joseph Woll. William Eklund left the game early due to injury and did not return. Despite being outscored, the Flyers managed to tie the game in the second period via a power-play goal but ultimately fell short with 29 saves by Senators' goaltender Linus Ullmark and 24 saves from Woll for Philadelphia. The Flyers remain winless at 0-3-2, starting a busy stretch of three games in four nights.
