OTTAWA -- The Ottawa Senators will try to build on one of the most emotional victories in franchise history when they play the first of 10 November home games on Tuesday against the Carolina Hurricanes at Canadian Tire Centre.They will attempt once again to rally around goalie Craig Anderson, whose wife Nicholle was recently diagnosed with cancer.Anderson left the team to be with Nicholle after shutting out the Vancouver Canucks on Oct. 25 in the first of a three-game road trip to western Canada. When the Senators lost backup goalie Andrew Hammond to a groin injury on Oct. 28 in Calgary, Nicholle urged her husband to rejoin the team.Anderson arrived in time to pitch another shutout on Sunday, this time a 37-save performance against the Edmonton Oilers. At the end of the night, he broke into tears.He held a strong face, but you could still see the pain in his eyes, Senators captain Erik Karlsson said of Anderson, who was recognized on Monday as the NHLs first star of the week for stopping all 59 shots he faced. He came in here and led by example. He didnt say much, had the same routine, and showed what a true leader he is. He did a hell of a game and got us the two points.Senators coach Guy Boucher said he was left speechless by the character both his goalie and team showed against Edmonton.We love hockey, its a great game, Boucher told reporters Sunday. But there are things bigger, and there are a lot of people who showed that tonight.The Senators (5-3-0) will play host to the Hurricanes (2-4-2) twice in November. Last season, they were 1-0-2 against Carolina.The Hurricanes most recently lost 4-3 at home to the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday. Their 3.75 team goals-against average is fourth highest in the league.Were giving up too much, coach Bill Peters told the teams website. Its not a recipe for success, short term or long term.Our details arent very good. It compounds itself. Puck management is the biggest thing we have to address.After facing the Senators, the Hurricanes will be off until visiting the Nashville Predators on Saturday.Its been a tough start, but it will be nice to get a few practices in after a big game in Ottawa, hopefully a good win, center Jordan Staal told the Hurricanes website. Well continue to work on the things we need to work on to be a better team.While Hurricanes center Victor Rask has picked up at least one point in every game this season, Senators winger Mike Hoffman finally scored his first goal of the campaign in Edmonton.Hoffman has been Ottawas top marksman in each of the past two seasons.Coming in here and facing one of the best teams in the league was a big task for us, Hoffman said of the Edmonton game. We all wanted to play for (Anderson) and do everything we could. Its a tough situation. Hes a huge part of this team and for him to come in here and stand on his head like that ... were a family.John Stallworth Youth Jersey .

Olli Jokinen, Mark Scheifele, and Bryan Little each had a goal and an assist as Winnipeg won 5-2, handing Calgary its record-setting seventh consecutive loss on home ice. Jack Butler Steelers Jersey .ca. Kerry, Just watched the shootout in the Coyotes/Leafs game and I have to ask, why was the James van Riemsdyk goal allowed to count? All of the video replays we were shown on TV were inconclusive about whether the puck had entirely crossed the line or not.ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Hawks are changing their lineup in an effort to change their results.Atlanta has sent slumping forward Kyle Korver to the bench and replaced him with Thabo Sefolosha in hopes of ending a seven-game losing streak. The change began on Monday and is expected to carry over into Wednesdays game against the Miami Heat at Philips Arena.We are in a tough stretch and we have to try anything to try to get this going again, Korver told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Ill do my best, whatever the role is.Sefolosha is one of the teams best defensive players but averages only 7.2 points. He scored six points as a starter on Monday in a 102-99 loss to Oklahoma City. Korver, averaging 8.8 points, came off the bench to score 15 against the Thunder.Atlanta (10-12) started the season 9-2 but has lost 10 of its last 11 games and is 10th in the Eastern Conference. Atlantas longest losing streak last season was three games.None of us would have expected this (after the 9-2 start), coach Mike Budenholzer said. We all have high expectations and high standards. So this is a little bit of uncharted waters or unexpected.Miami (7-14) hasnt been a hot team, either. The Heat dropped a 114-103 decision at home to the New York Knicks on Tuesday night. Miami has lost two straight and six of its last nine.Miami point guard Goran Dragic had a season-high 29 points and seven assists in the loss Tuesday.dddddddddddd Forward Hassan Whiteside scored 23 points, which pushed him over 2,000 career points, and added 14 rebounds. Whiteside has led the team in rebounds in each of their 21 games.The Heat has five players who are injured and didnt play against the Knicks: Dion Waiters, Josh Richardson, James Johnson, Justise Winslow and Luke Babbitt. Fatigue was a factor against the Knicks; Miami used only nine players, and five played at least 33 minutes.Right now there are a lot of moving parts, guys coming in and out of the lineup, coach Erik Spoelstra said. Were not a team that can designate a specific rotation, so its changing rapidly and you have to keep yourself ready.This will be the second meeting between the Hawks and Heat. Atlanta won 93-90 in Miami on Nov. 15. The Hawks had six players in double figures that night, with point guard Dennis Shroder scoring 18 points, including two free throws with 5.9 seconds remaining. Miamis Waiters missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer that would have tied the game.Miami won three of the four meetings between the two teams last year and prevailed in both visits to Atlanta.Atlanta isnt close to the franchise record for longest losing streak.
