TORONTO (AP) — Linus Ullmark made 27 saves for his first shutout of the season as the Ottawa Senators blanked the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-0 on Tuesday night.

Josh Norris, Tim Stutzle and Michael Amadio scored for Ottawa. Artem Zub added two assists.

Anthony Stolarz stopped 38 shots for Toronto, which saw its three-game winning streak end.

The teams met for the first time since Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly cross-checked Ridly Greig high after the Senators forward fired a slap shot into an empty net on a breakaway in a victory 5-3 on February 10. Rielly was suspended five games for the incident.

Toronto captain Auston Matthews missed a fourth straight game with an upper-body injury. Veteran winger Max Pacioretty, meanwhile, is out week after week after suffering a lower-body injury in Saturday’s 4-1 win over the Montreal Canadiens.

Ottawa center Shane Pinto returned to action after an eight-game absence.

Takeaways

Senators: Ullmark earned his first shutout in an Ottawa uniform since arriving from the Boston Bruins in an off-season trade. The goalkeeper signed a four-year contractextension for $33 million last month.

Leafs: The home team had allowed 34 shots three times in 2024-25 before Tuesday. Ottawa directed 35 pucks on target in 40 minutes against Toronto.

Key moment

Stutzle made it 2-0 early in the second period before Amadio fired a shot past Stolarz less than a minute later to give the visitors a three-point lead.

Key statistic

Ottawa, which has not made the playoffs since reaching the Eastern Conference final in 2017, won three of four meetings between the Atlantic Division rivals last season.

To be continued

The Senators host the Flyers on Thursday. The Maple Leafs visit the Capitals on Wednesday.
