NHL roundup: Senators snap 8-game skid

[January 10, 2019]  In a battle of teams looking to get back on track, Colin White scored 1:34 into overtime as the visiting Ottawa Senators ended their eight-game losing streak Wednesday with a 2-1 victory over the Anaheim Ducks.

Senators right winger Mark Stone attacked the Ducks goal and slipped a pass back to White for the game-winner. It was the 11th goal of the season for White.

Jakob Silfverberg scored the lone goal for the Ducks, who saw their losing streak extend to a franchise-worst nine games (0-6-3). The Ducks have not won since Dec. 17, when they picked up a 4-2 victory at Pittsburgh. Their past five consecutive defeats have all come at home.

Ottawa's Bobby Ryan tied the game 1-1 at 9:23 of the third period. Senators goalie Anders Nilsson made 32 saves to earn his first victory with his new team. Anaheim's John Gibson recorded 28 saves.

Pekka Rinne stopped 28 shots, Viktor Arvidsson scored his fifth goal in six games, and Colton Sissons also had a goal for the Predators, who improved to 3-0-1 on their season-high, six-game road trip.

Artem Anisimov forced overtime for the Blackhawks with 2:21 left in regulation, scoring from the slot on a pass from Patrick Kane. Alex DeBrincat and Jonathan Toews had Chicago's other goals.

Colorado has just one victory in its last nine games (1-6-2).
