The Sens come out roaring and never look back to destroy the Utah Hockey Club

Ottawa scored all of its goals in the first period and Anton Forsberg recorded his sixth career shutout as the Senators earned their first road win of the season on Tuesday, a 4-0 victory over the Utah Hockey Club in Salt Lake City.

Forsberg entered the night with a 4.16 goals against average and an .863 save percentage in his last three games, but stopped 31 shots as Ottawa won its second straight.

Utah outscored the visitors 8-1 in the first ten minutes of the opening period, but the Senators weathered the early storm. They then took the lead, with Drake Batherson and Claude Giroux scoring just 1:23 later in the period to make it 2-0.

Defenseman Nick Jensen assisted on both goals, with center Josh Norris assisting on Batherson's fourth goal of the season, which came with 8:17 remaining.

The Senators entered Tuesday tied for the top spot with the Colorado Avalanche and led by eight goals on the power play. Ridly Greig increased that total with 1:55 left in the first round. His first unassisted goal of the season came just 15 seconds after Utah's Robert Bortuzzo went to the box for a save.

Brady Tkachuk ended the barrage, beating goalie Connor Ingram with eight seconds left. Thomas Chabot and Tim Stutzle assisted on his third goal of the season, and the goal drew some boos from fans watching the NHL's newest franchise's third home game.

Utah pulled Ingram, who stopped just five shots, after the first period. Karel Vejmelka took charge, making just his second appearance this season and stopping all 14 shots he faced as Utah lost for the third time in four games.

Despite hopes that Linus Ullmark would start in goal for the Senators on Tuesday, it was Forsberg who made his fourth consecutive start. Ottawa coach Travis Green told reporters that Ullmark continued to deal with a strain after the team's morning skate.
