OTTAWA -- Milestones dont mean much for Daniel Sedin in November.

Sedin scored his 300th career goal and added an assist as the Vancouver Canucks
defeated the Ottawa Senators 5-2 Thursday night. Vancouver (13-9-5) came in
having lost seven of its past eight games, but a solid effort finally put an end
to their recent struggles. That was of more interest to Sedin than his own
stats. "When youre in the middle of the season you dont think too much about it,
but Im sure after the season or looking back it will be different," said Sedin.
"It was nice to help the team (win), thats for sure." With the Canucks playing
the first of a four-game road trip, Sedin said picking up the win was
instrumental in setting the tone for the next three. "This is a big road trip
for us and to start with a win is going to give us a lot of confidence moving
forward," said Sedin. "As a team we played pretty good. The (penalty kill) did a
good job and the power play got one, too, so overall it was a good game."
David Booth, Jason Garrison, Dale Weise and Mike Santorelli also scored for the
Canucks. Roberto Luongo finished with 37 saves. Clarke MacArthur and
Mika Zibanejad scored for the Senators (10-12-4). Craig Anderson allowed four
goals on 15 shots before being replaced by Robin Lehner, who allowed one goal on
13 shots. With the loss the Senators, who beat the Washington Capitals 6-4 on
Wednesday, are now 0-4-1 when playing back-to-back nights. Senators coach Paul
MacLean said his team deserved the loss. "We got what we earned," said MacLean.
"(Wednesday) night we got what we earned and 26 times a year so far weve gotten
what weve earned whether that was wins or losses. Every night weve earned it and
(Thursday) we earned it again." MacLean added the Sens continue to make too many
mistakes. "We dont play hard enough on the forecheck. We dont play hard enough
coming back. We dont play hard enough defensively. Our goaltenders arent playing
hard enough. Were just not playing hard enough for long enough to have an
opportunity to win." The difference in this one was the second period when the
Canucks scored four goals as 17,931 at the Canadian Tire Centre looked on.
"Quite honestly I thought weve played better games than (Thursdays) game," said
Vancouver coach John Tortorella. "Its good to get a win for us. No complaints
here. Weve lost some games we should have won and I thought we played well
enough to win, but we still have a lot of things to work on." Daniel Sedin tied
the game 1-1 just 31 seconds into the second period as he beat Anderson far
side. Just 45 seconds later the Canucks took the lead on Booths second goal of
the season as he beat Anderson cleanly. Booth has had his share of struggles and
admitted its nice to contribute offensively. "I felt good on my skates so thats
the biggest thing," said Booth. "But its over now and youve got to start gearing
up for Saturday in New York." The Canucks then went on to make it 3-1 with a
power-play goal as Garrison was left all alone in front. Ottawa has allowed at
least one power-play goal in each of the last seven games. Midway through the
period Weise picked up a Garrison rebound and beat a sprawled Anderson. Weise
was one of the Canucks better players and if the team hopes to have any
long-term success they are going to need secondary scoring. "This is what you
need for good teams to win," said Weise. "We cant rely on the (Sedin) twins
every night. Our secondary scoring has to pitch in and it has to be consistent."
Less than 20 seconds after Weises goal Andersons night came to an end. The
Senators managed to cut the lead in half as Zibanejad made it 4-2 with just over
one minute remaining in the period. The Canucks made it 5-2 early in the third
as Santorelli took advantage of a Jason Spezza giveaway behind the Ottawa net.
Santorelli grabbed the puck, shot and then picked up his own rebound to beat
Lehner between the legs. Strangely enough Ottawa got off to the start it wanted
as MacArthur picked up his 100th career goal midway through the first to give
the home team a 1-0 lead, but it was never able to capitalize on the momentum.
"Its frustrating," said Ottawas Kyle Turris. "That lapse we had in the start of
the second and then we played pretty well the last half of the second and the
third. Weve got to execute coming out of our zone and weve got to be more crisp
with the puck." With the win Vancouver continues to dominate the Senators.
Vancouver has won six straight and 10 of the past 11 meetings between the clubs.
Ottawa has lost three in a row and six of its last seven home meetings against
the Canucks. Notes: D Patrick Wiercioch, D Jared Cowen and LW Matt Kassian were
healthy scratches for the Senators. a The Canucks were without C
Jordan Schroeder who is expected to miss another month with a sprained ankle. C
Jeremy Welsh, C Zac Dalpe and D Andrew Alberts were healthy scratches.

Jersey . - Free agent defensive end Will Smith has signed with the
New England Patriots.TORONTO - Major League Baseball isnt always about the first
class charter flights, the five-star hotels and the gourmet food. For bubble
players like Chad Jenkins and Jonathan Diaz, there can be days like Monday.
Jenkins, the 26-year-old bullpen long man, is up for a third time already this
season. Diaz is a 29-year-old utility infielder whos back for a second go round.
"He was supposed to get on the plane with me," said Jenkins. "We checked our
bags, got our little boarding pass and both of ours said get your seat at the
gate." But Diaz didnt join Jenkins on the Monday morning flight from Charlotte,
where the Triple-A Bisons were playing the White Soxs affiliate the Knights,
because the flight was oversold. "I was panicking," said Jenkins. "I was like,
um, I dont know what to do, should we call (traveling secretary) Mike (Shaw) and
see who they need more and that person gets on the plane first?" Jenkins went
ahead and boarded the plane. Diaz was on the phone with Shaw. The flight was
re-booked. Jenkins promised Diaz hed pick up his teammates bags, which already
had been placed in the plane. Jenkins arrived in Toronto in plenty of time to
arrive to the stadium for three oclock. Diaz, who was in the starting lineup at
shortstop to accommodate a day off for Jose Reyes, pulled in closer to six
oclock. "Its been an awful day," said Jenkins. "Travel has been awful." He can
only smile when he reflects upon the last two weeks of his life. Jenkins was
first recalled on April 26. He spent two nights in Toronto and then boarded a
flight to Kansas City with his teammates. After three nights in the Midwest, he
flew with the Blue Jays to Pittsburgh. After one night there, Jenkins was
optioned to Triple-A Buffalo. The driver got lost on the way to Buffalo, which
added more than an hour to the trip. The next day, he was back in a car from
Buffalo to Pittsburgh, recalled as Brandon Morrows injury replacement. He flew
to Philadelphia with the team, spent two nights there and returned to Toronto
for two more nights. Jenkins flew to Atlanta when he was optioned after
Thursdays game, speent time with his parents and they drove together to meet the
Bisons in Charlotte on Saturday.
Jese Jersey. Monday morning, he left
Charlotte for Toronto. "My back doesnt know what a solid mattress feels like for
more than three days," said Jenkins. "Its been fun. Its been a ride. Its been
crazy." Jenkins participated in a Shoot For A Cure charity event in Atlanta and
spent time with his father, Steve. He enjoyed a Mothers Day dinner with his mom,
Gail, on Sunday night. In between, he pitched two innings for the Bisons on
Saturday night and was pleased with the result given the travel and the
resultant infrequent throwing schedule. "I got on the mound and thats the best
command Ive had on my sinker all year," said Jenkins. "I was throwing front
doors, I was throwing the back door to the righty where I was going out and
coming back and I had two strike outs looking. I was like, what happened? Where
did this come from? I threw the other night, my arm feels good and I feel like
my command is coming back and Im hoping it stays." ENCARNACION HONOURED
Edwin Encarnacion is heating up, so much so that Major League Baseball is taking
notice, naming the Blue Jays first baseman the American League Player of the
Week. In seven games from May 5-11, Encarnacion went 9-28 (.321) with four home
runs, a triple and two doubles. ROSTER MOVES The Blue Jays have made 42 roster
moves as of Monday, with the disabling of Sergio Santos, the recalls of
Chad Jenkins and Jonathan Diaz and the optioning of Erik Kratz to Triple-A
Buffalo. The moves break down like this: 10 relate to the disabled list; 16
involve recalls or minor league contract selections; 10 involve players being
optioned to the minor leagues; six players have been designated for assignment.
If it seems like the Blue Jays tinker with the roster a lot its because they do.
You may be surprised, however, to learn the Yankees have made more roster moves
than Toronto. Heres the American League East divisional breakdown as of May 12:
New York Yankees: 49Toronto Blue Jays: 42Baltimore Orioles: 37Tampa Bay Rays:
