Senators break out for seven goals to beat Lightning, end slide

Egor Sokolov's first career goal was the game-winner as the Ottawa Senators broke a four-game losing skid, defeating the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning 7-4 on Saturday night.

In just his third game this season and 11th in the NHL, Sokolov notched his first career marker when Lightning defenseman Erik Cernak fell and turned the puck over. The left winger then scored at 2:07 of the third period for a 5-3 Ottawa lead.
