SUNRISE Authentic Brandin Cooks Jersey , Fla. (AP) 锟斤拷 The Ottawa Senators had a fast start and a strong finish, and they needed both against one of the hottest teams in the NHL.Matt Duchene scored twice, including the go-ahead goal with three minutes left, to lift the Senators over the Florida Panthers 5-3 on Monday night.Magnus Paajarvi also had two goals for Ottawa, and Jean-Gabriel Pageau added one late. Craig Anderson made 35 saves, and Erik Karlsson and Mike Hoffman each added two assists.Florida had won eight straight home games.“I think getting the big W tonight was huge for us and for our confidence,” Anderson said.Jonathan Huberdeau, Mike Matheson and Evgenii Dadonov scored for the Panthers. Vincent Trocheck had two assists, but Roberto Luongo allowed five goals on 25 shots.“In this homestand, we’ve been rolling,” coach Bob Boughner said. “The team has been playing well and finding ways to win. Tonight, we didn’t.”The Panthers are three points behind New Jersey for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.Duchene broke a 3-all tie when his shot from the slot went over Luongo and high into the net.“It’s tough to sustain the pressure they had,” Duchene said. “We kind of just held the fort and (Anderson) had some big saves and we ended up getting those two (goals) late.”Pageau poked in a rebound with 1:45 remaining to stretch the lead to 5-3.“For some reason, I don’t know if we had a regular jump that we’ve had throughout this homestand. You factor in that we just didn’t get the start that we wanted,” Panthers captain Derek MacKenzie said. “We let a team hang around, and sooner or later something like that is going to happen.”Paajarvi put the Senators ahead 3-2 when he swept in a rebound 42 seconds into the third period.The Panthers tied it at 3 on Huberdeau’s goal. Trocheck passed toward the net and the puck went off Huberdeau’s skate and in at 4:23.Aleksander Barkov had a short-handed breakaway with 4:10 left in the third but Anderson made the save on a point-blank shot.“It was a big save for them,” Boughner said. “They needed a big save, they got it. We just couldn’t crack him at the end.”The Panthers scored twice in the second period to tie it, outshooting the Senators 17-2.“I’d love to comment on the second period, but I wouldn’t have appropriate words for television http://www.losangelesramsteamonline.com/jared-goff-jersey ,” Ottawa coach Guy Boucher said. “We reloaded in the third period.”Dadonov’s shot from the right circle beat Anderson at 12:36. Dadonov has 23 points (12 goals, 11 assists) in the Panthers’ 20 games since the All-Star break.Florida tied it at 2 when Matheson’s shot from the left circle got past Anderson with 2:32 left.The Senators took a 1-0 just 57 seconds into the game when Duchene took a cross-ice pass from Hoffman and fired the puck past Luongo into the corner of the net.Paajarvi made it 2-0 on his first goal. Fredrik Claesson took a shot from the point and Paajarvi tipped it in from in front with 4:44 left in the first.NOTES: Anderson hosted the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School hockey team at the game. Their group of 60 watched with tickets courtesy of Anderson, who lives in nearby Coral Springs, close to where the tragic shooting took place in Parkland on Feb. 14. “We raise our kids here and we’re living through it just like everyone else in the community,” Anderson said. “For us to give (the MSD hockey team) a night out and watch a sport that they love playing is the least that I can do for our community.” … Claesson played in his 100th NHL game. … Panthers D Keith Yandle played in his 700th consecutive game, the longest active streak in the NHL. … Trocheck got his 200th career point on the goal by Matheson. … Florida forward Denis Malgin returned after missing seven games with an ankle injury.UP NEXTSenators: Visit the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday.Panthers: Host the Boston Bruins on Thursday.—A previous version of this story was updated with official scoring change crediting the final goal to Pageau.— A winning streak after a slow start can do wonders for a team’s confidence. Ending a long skid against a certain opponent should do more.On Saturday night at Rogers Place, the Edmonton Oilers go for their first win over the Nashville Predators in more than 4 1/2 years.Since recording a 5-1 victory on March 18, 2014, in Edmonton, the Oilers have gone 0-10-2 versus Nashville. That includes two shutouts among five straight regulation losses.Article continues below ...Edmonton (3-2-0), which is looking for its fourth consecutive win, has yet to hold a lead after one period in any game this season. The club can thank Cam Talbot for the recent surge as he enjoys a resurgence.After a career-best 42 wins and 2.39 goals-against average two seasons ago, Talbot slumped to 31 victories and his GAA rose to 3.02 last season. He credits staying confident early for his recent success as he’s stopped 79 of 86 shots while winning three straight starts.“I’m just going out there and trying to give us a chance,” Talbot said Friday. “I know that if I can get us through that first 10-15 minutes, we seem to take over the game after that point.”Having Connor McDavid on the ice also gives the Oilers a huge confidence boost. He collected two assists, one coming on Leon Draisaitl’s game-winner 37 seconds into overtime, as Edmonton opened its home schedule Thursday night with its third straight win, 3-2 over the Boston Bruins.McDavid, the reigning two-time scoring champion, has four goals and seven assists through five games. He also scored goals in each of the Oilers’ last two matchups with the Preds.Still http://www.losangelesramsteamonline.com/brandin-cooks-jersey , coach Todd McLellan praised Talbot, who stopped all 12 shots in the opening 20 minutes and finished with 27 saves against the Bruins.“Talbs was essential in the first period,” McLellan told the team’s official website on Thursday. “We were flat, we were frozen. Once we got going and once we got skating and supporting puck movement, we were a lot better.“Without Cam’s performance in the first period, we don’t get a chance to come back.”But Talbot hasn’t beaten the Predators since joining Edmonton as a free agent in 2015 despite solid statistics. In seven starts, the 31-year-old is 0-6-1 with a 2.89 GAA.Nashville (6-1-0) opened its road trip through Alberta with a 5-3 win over the Calgary Flames on Friday night. The Preds’ lone loss of the season came in their home opener on Oct. 9 against the FlamesPekka Rinne stopped 15 of 18 shots Friday before being lifted early in the third period after colliding with winger Kevin Fiala. According to the team’s official website, Predators coach Peter Laviolette did not have an update on Rinne after the game.Juuse Saros made nine saves the rest of the way to get the win, and will likely start with games on back-to-back nights as well as to give the 35-year-old Vezina Trophy winner some extended rest.“Just because we have the backup in doesn’t mean we can’t win,” defenseman Yannick Weber told the team’s official website on Thursday. “Juuse gives us a chance to win every game he plays. We’ve seen it already this year, too, and we have a lot of confidence in him.”Saros, a 23-year-old Finn who defeated the New York Islanders twice in his only two appearances of the season before Friday, has stopped 55 of 60 shots.He also made a career-high 46 saves in a 4-0 win over the Oilers on Dec. 14, 2017, in Edmonton.Rinne is 20-6-1 with a 2.31 GAA and four shutouts in 29 career starts against the Oilers.With a goal and assist Friday, Nashville’s Filip Forsberg has four goals and two assists in a four-game streak. Two of the three career goals the winger has scored at Rogers Place have come on the power play.
