    By The Canadian Press

    The Vancouver Canucks kicked off a six-game road trip by holding off the Ottawa Senators 4-3.

    The Senators surged late with a pair of goals in the final three and a half minutes, but lost their fifth straight.

    The Canucks (10-6-3) put in a solid road effort without leading scorer Quinn Hughes for most of the game.

    Hughes was assessed a boarding major and game misconduct at 12:29 of the first period for a hit on Josh Norris that resulted in a facial injury.

    Jake DeBrusk led the Canucks with two goals and an assist. Kiefer Sherwood had a goal and an assist, Teddy Blueger scored and Elias Pettersson had two assists. Kevin Lankinen stopped 26 of 29 shots in Vancouver’s net.

    Ottawa’s Claude Giroux scored a power-play goal and Tim Stutzle notched his 100th career goal late in the third period. Brady Tkachuk tied the game early in the second period with a power-play goal.

    Linus Ullmark made 17 saves in the loss. The Senators (8-11-1) fell to 0-4-1 in their last five home games.

    Frustration set in for Senators’ captain Tkachuk in the third period. He took cross-checking, fighting and game misconduct penalties with just over six minutes remaining.

    Takeaways

    Senators: Fell to 1-10-1 when giving up the first goal.

    Canucks: Special teams not so special going 1-for-6 on the power play and 1-for-3 on the penalty kill.

     Key moment

    The Senators didn’t make the most of a five-minute power play in the first period when Hughes served a boarding major.

    Key stat

    Ottawa has lost five straight games to Vancouver giving up four or more goals each game.

     Up next

    Senators: Ottawa hosts the Calgary Flames on Monday.

    Canucks: Travel to Boston to meet the Bruins on Tuesday.
