The drought is over.

Senators captain Erik Karlsson snapped a 10-game pointless streak with an assist on Matt Duchene's first-period tally Thursday night in Los Angeles. The drought was the longest such streak in Karlsson's career.

Despite the offensive slump, Karlsson amazingly still has 18 points in 22 games this season, ranking third on the Sens despite missing the first five games of the year recovering from offseason foot surgery.

The Senators tied Thursday's game in the dying seconds of the third period, but fell 4-3 in overtime on Drew Doughty's game-winner.
