ST.
Al Kaline Jersey . PAUL, Minn. -- Now that
the Senators have played themselves back into contention, the hard work really
begins. Kyle Turris had a goal and an assist, Robin Lehner made 27 saves for his
second career shutout and Ottawa beat the Minnesota Wild 3-0 on Tuesday night.
Clarke MacArthur and Erik Condra also scored for the Senators, who head home
after earning seven of a possible eight points on their four-game road trip.
"All weve done now is set the table to keep doing it," said coach Paul MacLean,
whose team has bounced back after winning only four times in its first 12 games.
"Our team had been playing better and better as December rolled on, so the
potential was there for us to have success on this road trip." Despite
controlling play and outshooting the Wild 15-3 in the first period, Ottawa led
only 1-0 on MacArthurs 16th of the season. With the Wild hanging around thanks
to another strong effort from goalie Darcy Kuemper (29 saves), Condra won a race
with Marco Scandella to a puck in front of the net and made it 2-0 at 5:55 of
the third. Turris scored on the power play at 17:38 of the third to put the game
away. "Tough start. Our first period wasnt good enough," Wild forward
Jason Pominville said. "We were better in the second, but unfortunately gave up
the first goal. Its tough to come back when you give up the first goal." Playing
recently without forwards Mikko Koivu and Zach Parise and top goalie
Josh Harding, the Wild had won five of their last six, scoring 21 goals during
that span. But scoring opportunities were tough to come by against Ottawa, which
is a much better defensive team on the road than at home. When the Wild did get
scoring chances, Lehner turned them away. Making his first start since losing
5-0 to Boston on Dec. 27, Lehner notched his first shutout since Feb. 28, 2012,
against Boston. "It was kind of tough in the beginning. I tried to stay focused,
and didnt want to spin off in my head there," Lehner said. "It feels good to
come back and get a win." Lehners play picked up right where regular goalie
Craig Anderson left off. Anderson is 6-0-2 over his last eight starts.
MacArthurs goal was his fifth in six games and it came after he redirected a
centring pass from Turris into the net. Wild coach Mike Yeo wanted offside
called on the play, and yelled at the officials from the bench as the teams
lined up for the ensuing faceoff. "The bottom line is, when youre more engaged
in the game, when youre on top of your game, things like that dont beat you,"
Yeo said. "We werent good enough to win this hockey game tonight." Kuemper was
coming off his first career shutout on Sunday and has stopped 91 of 95 shots
since being recalled from Iowa of the AHL on Jan. 2. It was the second time
Minnesota was shut out this season and the third time Ottawa has blanked an
opponent. "We knew that we were going to have to get on a run just to get back
into the (playoff) picture, so now we cant let up," Turris said. "We need to
keep going. There are five or six teams trying to get into that last spot."
NOTES: Harding took part in the morning skate, but theres no timetable yet for
his return to game action. He missed his seventh straight game, and 11th out of
13, due to his recovery from an adjustment to his multiple sclerosis treatment.
... Parise skated on his own for the first time since before Christmas. He
missed his 11th straight game because of a foot injury. "I cant predict what
that means as far as when hell be in the lineup, but an important first step for
sure," Yeo said. ... Colin Greening became the 40th player in Ottawa history to
skate in 200 games. ... Ottawa D Chris Phillips left midway through the third
period after getting hit in the face with a puck.

Matt Stajan scored as the Calgary Flames started a five-game road trip with a
2-1 overtime win over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday afternoon.
Carl Yastrzemski Red Sox Jersey . It was hard
for Luck to pull off another comeback, or even get into the end zone, while
standing on the sideline. Rivers threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to rookie
Keenan Allen and Nick Novak kicked four field goals to give the Chargers a 19-9
victory against the Colts on Monday night.

. Ancelotti says Ronaldo has recovered from a hamstring injury but "but he
doesnt feel comfortable yet so we wont risk him." Madrid is third in the Spanish
league, six points behind leader Barcelona, going into Saturdays game against
Valladolid.SEATTLE -- Tarvaris Jackson led Seattle on three first-half scoring
drives, and Terrelle Pryor struggled through his worst performance of the
preseason with a chance at earning Oaklands starting quarterback job in the
Seahawks 22-6 preseason victory. Jackson led the Seahawks to a trio of field
goals from Steven Hauschka, including kicks of 51 and 56 yards. Jackson got the
bulk of time in the first half after Russell Wilson made a brief cameo, leading
the Seahawks to their first touchdown on their opening drive. Hauschka also hit
from 22, 43 and 53 yards. Pryor had turned the Raiders quarterback situation
into a real competition with his performance during the preseason. Matt Flynn
sat out Thursday with a sore elbow, and Pryor was given an entire half to try
and show he deserved the job. He was lacklustre, completing 3 of 8 passes for 31
yards and an interception. Seattle won its ninth straight preseason game.
Jackson finished 12 of 17 passing for 119 yards and likely locked up the backup
job to Wilson. Meanwhile, Oakland coach Dennis Allen has a difficult decision:
start the season with Pryor or, if hes healthy, go with Flynn. Pryor flashed a
little of what had his home fans chanting his name last week. On his second
drive, Pryor threw darts to Rod Streeter for a pair of 14-yard receptions and
later added a 25-yard scramble that led to the first of Justin Medlocks twoo
field goals.
Jake Arrieta Cubs Jersey. But he was not
impressive to the point of making the decision obvious for Allen. Pryor also
didnt see much of the field. Following the field goal, Seattle kept the ball for
nearly eight minutes on a 17-play drive that led to Hauschkas 22-yard field
goal. Pryor immediately gave the ball back to Seattle, underthrowing Jacoby Ford
on a deep pass and Seattles Walter Thurmond made a one-handed interception.
Seattle then had an 11-play drive leading to another Hauschka field goal. Most
of the interest on the Seahawks sideline had to do with guest Snoop Dogg, who
sported a grey No. 24 jersey with "Snoop" across the back and Seahawks gloves.
He was in the locker room before the game and left for his scheduled concert
nearby during the first half. Wilson and most of Seattles starting offence was
in for all of three minutes. Wilson hit Stephen Williams for 50 yards on the
second play of the game, later scrambled for 11 yards, and finally found rookie
tight end Luke Willson for 20 yards. Robert Turbin then capped the drive on a
3-yard run and Wilsons night was complete. The Seahawks did have two injuries
that could have an impact on the final 53-man roster. Williams suffered a
concussion on his 50-yard reception, and rookie offensive lineman Michael Bowie
injured a shoulder. Both were expected to be on the edge of making the final
cuts.
