THE Ottawa Senators matched a season-high four-game winning streak with an impressive 4-1 victory over the high-flying Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday.
Goaltender Brian Elliot kept the dangerous Blackhawks at bay with 29 saves in his second straight start, while the Senators (26-21-4) charged to a 2-0 advantage on first-period goals from Zack Smith and Ryan Shannon.
Marian Hossa replied for Chicago with a short-handed strike against his former team at 6:18 in the second but Peter Regin restored the two-goal cushion for the hosts 12 minutes later. Mike Fisher added the final goal on a snap-shot with 3:15 remaining.
"We know we can beat the best teams in the league," Regin told the Ottawa Sun. "The last four games, we've really shown that we're a good hockey team."
The Blackhawks (34-12-4), who entered the contest tied with the San Jose Sharks on an NHL-leading 72 points, were beaten for the first time in four games.
The Blackhawks were playing the third contest of their lengthy eight-game road trip but fell to defeat despite enjoying a 30-18 shot advantage over the Senators.
Patrick Kane and Brent Seabrook fired five shots apiece though Hossa was the only player to convert, finding the net on a breakaway at the location where he spent his first seven seasons.
But Ottawa made more of its limited opportunities as it got the better of Blackhawks netminder Cristobal Huet, who saved 14 shots.
Daniel Alfredsson had sparked the Senators as of late, netting four goals and two assists in two previous games since returning from a shoulder injury, but was scoreless this time as Regin led the offense with his score and an assist.
