OTTAWA - The Ottawa Senators would have had Tuesdays game against the Detroit Red Wings wrapped up in the first period if it wasnt for Jimmy Howard.Instead, nothing was decided until late in the game — despite the fact the Senators held a 16-2 shot advantage in the opening 20 minutes.Patrick Wierciochs first goal of the season was the game winner as he moved in from the point and beat Howard with a wrist shot with less than six minutes to play in regulation as the Senators beat the Red Wings 3-1 at Canadian Tire Centre.Niklas Kronwall hit a post that would have tied the game just seconds later but, as the Red Wings continued to press for the equalizer, Clarke MacArthur scored into an empty net at 19:02 to give the Senators the win.We didnt skate and when you dont skate its tough to win battles. We didnt even play in the first period, said Kronwall.Erik Karlsson also had a goal as well as an assist for the Senators (6-3-2) while Craig Anderson made 31 saves.Henrik Zetterberg had the lone goal for the Red Wings (6-3-3) as he beat Anderson with a backhand at 3:34 of the third period to tie the game. Howard finished with 30 saves.I liked the way we moved the puck out of our zone tonight. We fumbled around with it a little in the second and the third but I thought in the first we were direct, passes getting out and it makes it tough for them to forecheck, MacArthur said.It was a great game, he added. They have a great hockey team over there with a lot of speed and every line there are guys that are dangerous. Andy (Anderson) is a top-end goalie in this league and he showed it. For us to get that in regulation is a great feeling.With the game tied 1-1, Anderson bailed out Karlsson with an acrobatic save off Tomas Jurco following a two-on-one that was created by a Karlsson give away at the Detroit blue-line.Anderson was particularly busy through the final 40 minutes of the game as 30 of the 32 shots he faced came during the second and third periods.The Senators certainly deserved a better reward than a scoreless tie following their first-period performance that saw them heavily outshoot the Red Wings.Howard was especially good during a nearly four-minute span in the second half of the period when the Red Wings took consecutive penalties.The Senators had a brief five-on-three advantage for 20 seconds during that span but were unable to generate anything as they lost the initial face-off after the second penalty and the Red Wings were able to ice the puck.Kyle Turris beat Howard early in the second period but, by the time Turris took his shot, Howard was lying face down in the net having been run into by a sliding Brendan Smith.The goal was waved off as Howard was hurt on the play, however he did stay in the game and stopped Turris on a short-handed breakaway a few moments later.They really dictated the play. They really skated in the first period and we didnt, Howard said.Its tough to get the puck into the offensive zone when theyre catching you from behind all the time. We did not do a good job getting the puck out at our blue-line and getting it in at theirs, he added. The Senators finally got one past Howard that counted as Karlsson needed just 37 seconds of a power play to score on a shot from the point at 14:37 of the second. Turris picked up a bit of redemption with the primary assist.The way this game went it gives us momentum going forward even though this game was see-sawed, Senators coach Paul MacLean said. I though the last eight minutes our leadership group did a really good job of settling things down, getting us the game and bringing this home. We deserved this.The win also halted a two-game losing streak for the Senators while the Red Wings have now lost two straight.Notes: Colin Greening, Mark Borowiecki and Alex Chiasson were scratches for the Senators while Daniel Cleary, Kyle Quincy and Andrej Nestrasil were scratches for the Red Wings...With his second period assist, Turris now has 99 for his career…Tuesdays meeting was the 30th all-time between the Senators and Red Wings, 18 of which have been won by the Red Wings…Ottawas general manager Bryan Murray was Detroits head coach from 1990-93 and Ottawas current coach, Paul MacLean, was an assistant with Detroit from 2005-11.

Argentina, who have yet to beat New Zealand in 17 meetings, rocked the All Blacks with an early converted try to backrower Juan Manuel Leguizamon and led 7-0 after five minutes.

Prices playoffs ended in the second period of the series opener after New York Rangers forward Chris Krieder crashed into him while on a breakaway. He would only call it a lower body injury, although he was wearing a brace on his right knee in the days after the incident. "Over time its going to get back to normal," he said. "I actually got really lucky, it could have been a lot worse than it was." Price lay on the ice for a moment after the collision early in the second period of New Yorks 7-2 victory, but finished the period. He was substituted by back-up Peter Budaj for the third. No penalty was called on the play, although teammate Brandon Prust said Kreiders crash was "accidental on purpose." "I dont think he did it intentionally and I dont think he tried to miss me either," said Price. "He was coming in with a lot of speed and he lost his footing. "Theres not much really to be said. Im not going to go seeking revenge or anything like that. Hockey is a game of chance and unfortunately, I was unlucky in that situation." Budaj was beaten for three goals in his one period of action and coach Michel Therrien made the surprise decision to start third-stringer Dustin Tokarski for the rest of the series. Tokarski, who had only played 10 NHL regular season games in his career and had no playoff experience, was solid in goal, going 2-3-1 with a 2.60 goals-against average and a .917 save percentage. Price had been 8-4-1 with a 2.35 average and a .919 save percentage. "That was probably one of the hardest situations you could ever throw a guy into and he really excelled," Price said of Tokarski, a former rival in the junior Western Hockey League.dddddddddddd "He showed why hes won at different levels. "Hes an awesome guy and Ive got to tip my hat to him. He did an awesome job." It left Budaj out to dry. The Slovak has a year remaining on his contract but looks to have been bumped to third-string status. Price feels for him. "Its definitely a tough spot," he said. "Peters one of the genuinely nicest human beings Ive ever met. "Hes an unbelievable backup. Hes one of the best friends I have on this team and he showed a lot of character. He never hung his head, never pouted and he showed the utmost support for everybody, including Dustin. It takes a special person to do that." Price was on an accelerated rehab program after the injury. Going from a five-minute skate to a half hour in pads and then practising with his teammates. He said he should have been able to play if the team reached the Stanley Cup final. "I would have been pushing my luck to come back real quick, but obviously the time of year I would be trying to come back real soon," he said. "Obviously, in the playoffs you play through things, and thats what I wanted to do. But theres also the reality that no matter how bad you want to play and how bad you want to get in there, theres also a question of how effective you are going to be. That was a decision that we had to make." He said the injury was not related to the one he suffered while backstopping Canada to gold at the Sochi Olympics in February. The 26-year-old plans to continue rehab in Montreal for a short spell and return home to British Columbia to heal and get ready for next season.
