Tim Stutzle's goal 47 seconds into OT helps Senators beat Flyers 2-1

PHILADELPHIA (AP) --- Tim Stutzle charged past Philadelphia defenseman Travis
Sanheim and scored on a back-hand shot 47 seconds into overtime Thursday night,
helping the Ottawa Senators to a 2-1 victory over the struggling Flyers.
It was Stutzle's 28th goal of the season. The Senators won their fifth game in
six outings heading into the Olympic break.
Flyers defenseman Jamie Drysdale scored on a wrist shot from the left circle
with 1:14 remaining in regulation.
That came on only the 14th Philadelphia shot of the game against unexpected
Ottawa starting goalie James Reimer.
Reimer, 37, was playing in his seventh game since signing with the Senators
last month. Would-be Ottawa starter Linus Ullmark recently returned from a
personal leave of absence, but he was a late scratch Thursday, reportedly due
to illness.
Former Flyer Nick Cousins scored a second-period goal and Reimer made 15 saves
for the Senators.
Cousins scored off a rebound past Philadelphia goalie Dan Vladar (25 saves)
9:55 into the second period of a game largely bereft of offense until the final
minutes.
The Flyers, who beat Washington 4-2 on Tuesday to snap a four-game losing
streak, have lost 12 of their last 15. The Flyers didn't manage a shot on
Reimer until 4:24 remained in the first period.
Vladar made a sterling save on Cousins almost six minutes into the second,
keeping the game scoreless. But Cousins managed a payback nearly four minutes
later, scoring off a rebound of a Shane Pinto shot for a 1-0 Ottawa lead.

Senators: Host Detroit on Feb. 26.
Flyers: Visit Washington on Feb. 25.
