Condon stops 24 shots, Senators score early to beat Panthers
OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) Erik Karlsson and Derick Brassard scored early, Mike Condon stopped 24 shots for his second shutout of the season, and the Ottawa Senators beat the Florida Panthers 2-0 Saturday night.
Ottawa snapped a two-game skid and handed Florida its third loss in four games (1-2-1).
Roberto Luongo made 19 saves for the Panthers.
The Senators had two breakaways in the final 5 minutes but didn't register a shot on goal.
Ottawa scored twice 19 seconds apart in the first period, with both goals coming with some fancy footwork.
On the first goal, Karlsson had a pass from behind the net bounce off his stick right to his left foot. He then kicked the puck back to his stick and beat Luongo from the top of the crease at 6:46.
Brassard then took a pass at the side of the net and kicked the puck to his stick before cutting around a fallen Luongo to score at 7:05.
