Ottawa led 3–0 after one period but lost 6–3 to Anaheim on November 1, as confirmed by NHL game reporting and official final records.
A three-goal first period is not enough
The Ottawa Senators were defeated 6–3 by the Anaheim Ducks at Honda Center on Sunday, November 1. Ottawa led 3–0 after the opening period through goals credited to Philip Tomasino, Claude Giroux and Michael Amadio, but Anaheim scored six times without reply. Cutter Gauthier completed a hat trick and Judd Caulfield scored twice. The NHL's official event summary and Senators recap confirm the completed score, which was still live in CDN News's earlier afternoon scorecard.
Anaheim's comeback begins in the second
Gauthier began the comeback early in the second period. Caulfield added two goals, including a late power-play deflection, tying the game 3–3 before the second intermission. Gauthier then struck twice early in the third period, and Roger McQueen added another power-play goal. Anaheim produced four power-play goals in the match, a central part of the turnaround. Ottawa had scored on three of its first seven shots but could not maintain its advantage.
Goaltending and team context
Laurent Brossoit earned the win for Anaheim with 19 saves in his first start of the season, according to the official recap. Ottawa goaltender Jonas Johansson stopped 27 shots. The Senators entered having beaten San Jose 5–1 on October 31, which is a different completed game and already has its own CDN News article. Sunday's loss should be recorded as a new result, not retroactively substituted for Saturday's win.
Why the game matters for score accuracy
An accurate score display must follow game status changes. Earlier Sunday snapshots showed Anaheim–Ottawa in progress and therefore could not legitimately claim a final; the official NHL November 1 results now mark it complete at 6–3. This report uses the confirmed final and dated game recap, preserving the distinction between a real final result and a live score captured during play.
