Canucks outlast Senators in shootout for 6th win in 7 games

<p>OTTAWA, Ontario &mdash; Adam Gaudette scored in a shootout to give the Vancouver Canucks a 3-2 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday night.</p>
<p>Bo Horvat had a goal and an assist, Brock Boeser also scored in regulation and Thatcher Demko made 30 saves for Vancouver.</p>
<p>The Canucks have won three straight — also beating Ottawa 3-2 in overtime Monday night — and six of seven to improve to 15-16-3. </p>
<p>Ryan Dzingel and Josh Norris scored for the Senators. They lost goaltender Joey Daccord to an injury in the third period. </p>
<p>Daccord, who had his first NHL victory Sunday against Toronto, left at 5:07 of the third period. He appeared to twist a knee when he went down in the net, and grimaced while being helped off the ice. Filip Gustavsson took over for his NHL debut. </p>
<p>The Senators acquired goaltender Anton Forsberg off waivers from from Winnipeg earlier in the day to shore up its goaltending depth with both top netminder Matt Murray (upper-body injury) and Marcus Hogberg (lower-body injury) sidelined.</p>
<p>Boeser opened the scoring at 2:29 of the first with his 15th of the season, and Horvat added his 13th on a 2-on-1 tap-in at 8:26 of the period. Dzingel drew Ottawa within a goal three minutes into the second, and Norris tied it at 5:34 of the third.</p>
