Devils fall to Senators in shootout

Jakob Silfverberg beat Martin Brodeur to his stick side in the shootout and goalie Ben Bishop turned aside 30 shots for his first victory of the season, giving the visiting Ottawa Senators a 2-1 victory over the Devils Monday.

Silfverberg skated in on Brodeur in the shootout and fired a righthanded wrist shot that caught the NHL's all-time wins leader by surprise. When Bishop stopped former Senator Bobby Butler on the Devils' third shootout attempt, Ottawa (8-6-2) had its third road win of the season.
