March 9, 2026; Vancouver, British Columbia, CAN; Ottawa Senators goalie James Reimer (47) scores a goal during the second period against the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Arena. Mandatory Credit: Bob Frid-Imagn Image James Reimer stopped all 16 shots he faced for his 32nd career shutout and Ridley Greig scored midway through the second period as the surging Ottawa Senators earned a 2-0 win over the host Vancouver Canucks on Monday night.
Tim Stutzle extended his point streak to 13 games with an assist on Brady Tkachuk’s empty-netter for the Senators, who are outside a playoff position in the Eastern Conference but have won their third straight game at 5-0-2. As a result, Ottawa finished the road stretch 4-0-1.
Reimer was playing in his eighth game since joining Ottawa in January and his first start since Feb. 5 as Linus Ullmark’s backup, but was not seriously tested throughout the evening. But he made a key pad save on Zeev Buium late to maintain the lead for the Senators, who have allowed five or fewer goals in their last seven contests.
