Carter Yakemchuk's winner lifts Senators over Flyers, but Eklund injury casts shadow
The Senators found a way to win, and that's all that matters.
Carter Yakemchuk scored the game-winning goal in the Ottawa Senators' 2-1 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday night. Yakemchuk, who made his NHL debut last spring, broke the tie with a power-play goal in the seventh minute of regulation. The Flyers, who are still searching for their first win of the season, had Matvei Michkov score the lone goal for Philadelphia, who were beaten by Linus Ullmark, who made 29 saves.
Philadelphia's Joseph Woll stopped 24 shots in the game. The Senators will host the Nashville Predators on Saturday, while the Flyers will travel to Boston to face the Bruins on Saturday.
