OTTAWA -- The Ottawa Senators defeated the Winnipeg Jets 3-2 in a shootout Thursday for their second win at Canadian Tire Centre.

Anderson stopped Blake Wheeler and Andrew Ladd in the shootout.
Hutchinson made big back-to-back saves on Curtis Lazar and Turris with less than two minutes left in the third period.
Byfuglien tied the game 26 seconds into the third period. Playing 4-on-4, he stripped the puck from Senators defenseman Erik Karlsson at the Winnipeg blue line and headed up ice. Byfuglien skated into the left-wing circle and scored his fourth goal of the season with a shot to the glove side.
Ladd made it 2-1 at 17:19 of the second period, ending a long sequence when the Jets had the Senators running around their zone.
Wheeler took a hit behind the Ottawa net from Senators defenseman Mark Borowiecki and passed the puck to Ladd, who was positioned on the goal line to Anderson's right. Ladd's shot from a sharp angle went in for his fourth goal of the season.
Ryan put the Senators ahead 2-0 at 12:04 of the second period when he finished a crisp 2-on-1 break. He scored his fifth of the season finishing a pass from Mika Zibanejad.
Ryan entered Thursday with three goals, two assists and 20 shots in his prior five games.
Jean-Gabriel Pageau helped the Senators kill the first penalty of the game, then won a faceoff in the offensive zone against Ladd to set up the first goal at 10:01 of the first period.
Pageau, playing his 100th NHL game, drew the puck back to Ceci and his shot found its way through a screen and into the net by Hutchinson's right shoulder.
