OTTAWA\u2014 Frans Nielsen scored the only goal in the shootout as the Detroit Red Wings edged the Ottawa Senators 2-1 on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Martin Frk had the lone goal in regulation for the Red Wings (2-0-0), who got 37 saves from Jimmy Howard.<\/p>\n

Dion Phaneuf found the back of the net for Ottawa (0-0-2), which dropped its second straight game in a shootout. Craig Anderson looked impressive making 29 stops.<\/p>\n

For the second straight game, the Senators had a power-play opportunity in overtime, but were unable to take advantage and finished the game 0 for 7 with the man advantage.<\/p>\n

Detroit opened the scoring at 17:26 of the third period as Frk was able to beat Anderson low glove side.<\/p>\n

But Phaneuf responded just 43 seconds later, with a shot from just inside the blue line.<\/p>\n

It was a goaltender’s duel through two periods and both Anderson and Howard were just as solid through the third.<\/p>\n

Mark Stone looked like he had a sure goal on the Senators’ fifth power play of the game only to see the puck ring off the post. Ottawa hit the post four times.<\/p>\n

Anderson looked unbelievable as he was able to reach across just in time to rob Justin Abdelkader with just over two minutes left in the second period.<\/p>\n

A scoreless first period saw the Senators squander four power-play opportunities as they managed just six shots.<\/p>\n

Ottawa forward Alex Formenton became the youngest player in Senators history to make his NHL debut Saturday night.<\/p>\n

The Senators recalled Ben Harpur from AHL Belleville to replace Johnny Oduya who suffered a lower-body injury in Thursday’s opener. Harpur played just three shifts in the second period before leaving the game with an upper-body injury.<\/p>\n

Ottawa was without captain Erik Karlsson for the second straight game.<\/p>\n

The Senators head out for a three-game Western Canadian trip Sunday. Karlsson admitted Saturday morning that he was still unsure whether or not he would join the club as he continues to recover from off-season ankle surgery.<\/p>\n
