Facing one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/hockey\/nhl\">NHL<\/a>\u2019s top teams, Ottawa put together a complete, composed performance, skating away with a 5-2 win over the Colorado Avalanche at the end of the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"senators-stayed-well-organized\">Senators Stayed Well-Organized&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From the opening faceoff, the Senators looked comfortable playing at Colorado\u2019s pace, remaining organized, limiting mistakes, and making the most of their chances.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nick Cousins, Ridly Greig, Claude Giroux, Brady Tkachuk, and Tim Stutzle<\/strong> all found the back of the net, while <strong>James Reimer<\/strong> turned aside 16 shots in a calm outing between the pipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/william-nylander-apologizes-after-obscene-gesture-caught-on-camera\">Colorado, who beat the Maple Leafs previously<\/a> entered the night with one of the league\u2019s best records, had trouble putting on sustained pressure. P<strong>arker Kelly and Valeri Nichushkin scored for the Avalanche<\/strong>, who have now dropped three of their last four games. Mackenzie Blackwood finished with 18 saves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game was tight early, but Ottawa seized control in the second period. The Senators opened the scoring when Artem Zub spotted Cousins with a long stretch pass.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cousins walked in and snapped a shot high short side to beat Blackwood. Colorado responded soon after when a tipped outlet pass slipped through Nick Jensen\u2019s legs and landed on Kelly\u2019s stick, and he made no mistake finishing high on Reimer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any momentum Colorado gained was short-lived. Just 17 seconds later, Tyler Kleven sent the puck deep, it caromed off the end boards, and Greig won a race to the loose puck before lifting it past Blackwood to restore Ottawa\u2019s lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Senators extended that advantage early in the third period. Giroux scored his 10th of the season, picking the high blocker side after getting space in the slot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">No. \ud83d\udd1f on the year for G\ud83d\udcb0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/GoSensGo?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#GoSensGo<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/L5ik907Qkx\">pic.twitter.com\/L5ik907Qkx<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Ottawa Senators (@Senators) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Senators\/status\/2016703502878187711?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 29, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Colorado pushed back, and a turnover by Giroux led to a quick response. Jack Drury found Nichushkin in front, and he beat Reimer with a backhand high glove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"empty-net-chances-missed\">Empty Net Chances, Missed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That was as close as the Avalanche would get. Despite pressing late,<strong> Colorado struggled to break through a disciplined Ottawa defense<\/strong>. After two missed chances at the empty net, Tkachuk finally sealed the result with 2:16 remaining. Stutzle added another into the open cage to put the game away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ottawa did not convert on three power-play opportunities, but it did not matter. The Senators controlled play at five-on-five and kept Colorado to just eight shots through two periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next up, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/live\">Ottawa will return home to host the New Jersey Devils<\/a> on Saturday.
