GLENDALE, ARIZ. - The captain capped the comeback, extending the Ottawa Senators winning streak to five games.
Erik Karlsson beat Arizona Coyotes goaltender Mike Smith in overtime, capitalizing on a terrible giveaway by Radim Vrbata at the Senators blueline to give the Senators a comeback 3-2 victory.
Karlsson also tied the game 2-2 with 7:13 remaining. Smith fought the puck all game long and it was a big rebound that ended up on Karlsson’s stick.
With the victory, the Senators have closed to within two points of the Montreal Canadiens for top spot in the Atlantic Division.
