SCHERWEY LEADS SENATORS PAST LEAFS

In St. John’s, Newfoundland, Tristan Scherwey had a goal and an assist to help the Ottawa Senators beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-1.

Scherwey, a training-camp invitee who has spent the last 10 seasons playing for SC Bern in Switzerland, jumped on a loose puck on a Toronto power play and fired it past Kasimir Kaskisuo to give Ottawa a 2-1 lead at 9:45 of the third period.
