Elias Pettersson added a goal and an assist and
Quinn Hughes had two helpers for the Canucks, who have produced
a 12-2 scoring edge while winning the first two games of a
three-game set with the Senators.
Josh Norris scored for the Senators and Marcus Hogberg stopped
30 of 35 shots.
Following a 7-1 loss Monday at Rogers Arena, the Senators came
out and played an inspired first period with 23 shots on net,
three shy of the franchise record. They had 26 shots in the
third period of a 3-1 loss to Florida on Oct. 22, 2008.
But thanks to Demko, the Canucks made it out of the period with
a 1-1 tie.
Motte gave the Canucks a 1-0 lead at 2:06 of the first,
backhanding a rebound into an open net after Tyler Myers' shot
from the right wing was turned aside by Hogberg at the near
post.
The Senators tied it on the power play at 8:16, with Norris
slipping the puck through Demko's pads from just outside the top
of the crease after a scramble in front of the net.
The Canucks outscored Ottawa 3-0 in the second period to pull
away.
Vancouver regained the lead on a three-on-two breakaway at 1:16
of the second. Pettersson drove down the left wing and made a
drop pass for Hughes. The defenseman immediately fired a
cross-ice pass to Miller, who tapped the puck inside the near
post.
Miller extended the advantage to 3-1 at 7:29 of the period,
flipping his own rebound over the fallen Hogberg.
Pettersson took a pass from Miller at the right faceoff dot and
scored on a wrister at 17:16 of the second, giving Vancouver a
4-1 lead.
Motte capped the scoring at 11:46 of the third, tipping Jay
Beagle's shot from the right-wing boards toward the net. The
puck pinballed off Ottawa defenseman Mike Reilly and into the
goal.
