OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Nick Cousins broke a tie on a deflection with 2:18 left and the Ottawa Senators beat the Utah Mammoth 4-2 on Saturday night.

Shane Pinto added an empty-net goal with 16 seconds left.

Fabian Zetterlund and Michael Amadio also scored for the Senators (11-6-1). Samuel Ersson turned away 30 shots for his third victory of the season.

The Mammoth played the fifth and final game of a trip where they went 2-2-1.

The Senators took a 2-1 lead at 6:29 of the third on a little give-and-go. Claude Giroux took a pass down low from Amadio and fed it right back for Amadio to score into the open net.
