Noah Gregor scored on a pass from Zack Ostapchuk in tight to give the Senators a 1-0 lead at 2:55 of the first period.

Batherson made it 2-0 at 11:15 on a power play. His one-timer from the bottom of the left face-off circle snuck under Gibson's left pad and video review was needed to confirm that the puck crossed the goal line.

He then completed the hat trick to make it 4-0 at 10:30 of the second period when his turnaround wrist shot from the left point redirected in off Fowler's stick.

Tkachuk batted in a saucer pass from Batherson at the edge of the crease on the power play to make it 5-0 at 8:58 of the third.

Gauthier tipped a Mason McTavish shot for the 5-1 final at 12:42.
