Andreas Athanasiou scores overtime winner as Chicago Blackhawks edge Ottawa Senators 4-3
Andreas Athanasiou scored the game-winning goal 2:52 into overtime to lift the Chicago Blackhawks to a 4-3 victory over Ottawa on a celebratory Friday night for the Senators.
The Senators raised Chris Neil’s number 25 jersey to the rafters in a pre-game ceremony and appeared set to pick up their seventh win in eight games before the Blackhawks pulled even late in regulation. Giroux capitalized on a pass from Alex DeBrincat, a former Blackhawk, and beat Mrazek off his backhand 2:11 into the frame. Just over two minutes later, Tkachuk padded Ottawa’s lead.
With 3:05 remaining, Kane scored his second of the night to eventually send it to overtime. The goal was Kane’s 1,217th career point, giving him the third most points among U.S.-born players.
