 Kyle Turris and captain Erik Karlsson each notched an assist for
the Senators, who completed their season-opening three-game road
trip with a 2-1-0 record. Anderson stopped seven shots in the first
period, 14 in the second and nine in the third for his 27th career
shutout.
Roberto Luongo finished with 22 saves for the Panthers (0-2-1), who
remained winless through three games. With the hard-luck defeat, the
veteran goaltender saw his 10-game winning streak against the
Senators come to an end.
Ottawa took advantage of hooking penalty on Nick Bjugstad in the
second period to register the game's lone goal. MacArthur took a
lead pass from Turris and split a pair of defenders before beating
Luongo at 15:34.
Bjugstad nearly gave Florida the lead midway through the second, but
his shot from the left faceoff circle rang off the left post.
Anderson received plenty of help from his teammates down the stretch
as the Panthers failed to register a shot over the final six minutes
of the third period.
