OTTAWA -- -- Under new coach Guy Boucher, the Ottawa Senators are determined to tighten up defensively this season.Their first attempt, Wednesday night at Canadian Tire Centre against the Toronto Maple Leafs, didnt turn out very well.The Senators, who allowed a league high 32.8 shots per game during the 2015-16 campaign, scored a 5-4 overtime victory over the Leafs despite being outshot 38-30. Goalie Craig Anderson was unbeatable to everyone except center Auston Matthews, who became the first player in NHL history to score four times in his debut.Anderson will be in goal again Saturday night when the Senators host the Montreal Canadiens.We know we have to allow less shots, said Boucher, who blamed the high total by the Maple Leafs on four penalties taken by his team. We need to improve that. We were on our way to doing it but when you lose that much momentum because youre on the penalty kill all the time and they get shots, thats gone down the drain.The Canadiens, who defeated the Buffalo Sabres 4-1 in their season opener Thursday, will remain on the road for their second game. Once again they will be without star goalie Carey Price, who is battling what the team calls a severe case of the flu.Goalie Al Montoya, who stopped 30 shots in Buffalo, will be back between the pipes for the Canadiens.Guys had the right mentality, Montreal captain Max Pacioretty said of the one-for-all approach in Prices absence. Guys sticking up for each other, a lot of selfless plays out there, some blocked shots, taking hits to make plays. Thats our motto for this team no matter who you are in the lineup.The Canadiens are expected to be bolstered by the return of defensemen Jeff Petry, who missed the opener with a knee injury.Montreal was concerned it would be without forward Andrew Shaw, but the league decided against any supplemental discipline for his slew foot on Sabres forward Johan Larsson.Canadiens coach Michel Therrien said Shaw will meet next week with general manager Marc Bergevin and NHL Department of Player Safety head Stephane Quintal for education.At the same time, Therrien said Shaw is an intense player and you want to make sure he doesnt lose that edge.The Senators will go with the same lineup they used against Toronto, which means defenseman Thomas Chabot, the teams first round selection in 2015, will be a healthy scratch for the second game in a row.Boucher said that Chabot will play in one of the teams back-to-back games next week, either in Detroit Monday or back in Ottawa against Arizona on Tuesday. At some point, the Senators have to decide if theyre keeping Chabot or sending him back to his junior team.Its not a developmental league, its a performance league, said Boucher. He will need to play to see if hes ready. If hes ready hell stay, and if hes not ready he wont stay. Cheap NFL Jerseys China .

Ovechkin and his Russian national team were eliminated from the mens hockey tournament in Sochi on Wednesday with a 3-1 quarter-final loss to Finland.BALTIMORE -- For a while there, it looked as if the Preakness was shaping up to be a runaway victory for Kentucky Derby winner Orb. Then came the post-position draw. Suddenly things got very interesting. Orbs pursuit of the Triple Crown received an unexpected jolt Wednesday when trainer Shug McGaugheys horse drew the rail for Saturdays race. McGaughey tried to brush off the development as a mere inconvenience, but he couldnt entirely mask his disappointment over starting inside eight other horses in the smallest Preakness field since 2007. "Obviously, if I was going to pick it out, I wouldnt have picked the 1," McGaughey said. "But with only nine horses in there to run a mile and three-sixteenths, with a rider like Joel (Rosario), hes going to figure out what to do. Hell have him in the right spot." Thats the plan. Yet, if Orb doesnt get in front early, he risks becoming pinned on the rail or pushed to the back of the field. The inside post is even worse in the Derby, where this year there were 19 horses in the field. "If it had come out the 1 in the Derby, youd almost have felt like you needed to go home," McGaughey said. "But I dont feel that way here." Still, history suggests Orbs advantage in this race has dwindled, even though he was made the even-money favourite in the morning line. Only twice since 1950 has a horse won from the No. 1 post -- Bally Ache in 1960 and Tabasco Cat in 1994. So the rest of the field has a little bit more hope than it did before Orb got stuck on the rail. "Out of the nine numbers, the 1 is probably the one you want the least," said Al Stall Jr., the trainer of Departing. Mylute, who will start from the No. 5 post as the second-favourite at 5-1, trailed Orb for much of the race in Kentucky. This race could develop quite differently with Orb inside. "We need to make up three or four lengths, and that may be one of the factors that helps us," said Todd Quast, general manager of GoldMark Farm, co-owner of the Derbys fifth-place finisher. Soon after thee draw ended, Mylute jockey Rosie Napravnik said on Twitter, "Perfect draw! super excited! Quast said, "Were ecstatic about it.dddddddddddd With this horse, it doesnt matter as much, but it sure is nice being inside, a little bit toward the middle, and then having Orb inside us and Departing inside us, the two big threats. Its great to be outside of them." Departing, a bay gelding, won the Grade III Illinois Derby on April 20 and skipped the Kentucky Derby because Stall did not think the horse was ready. The trainer thinks it might be an advantage at the Preakness. "In this day and age, the modern thoroughbred seems to like a little time in-between races. I dont know why," Stall said. "So were fortunate enough to have 28 days between the Illinois Derby and now. It gave us time to improve and he really has improved. You can see it on a day-to-day basis when you train him." Stall is among those who believe the rail wont be a hindrance to Orb. "The post doesnt really matter in this type of race, this type of track with a nine-horse field," he said. "Its just a good party to come to." Orb won the Derby by 2 1/2 lengths and has won five straight races, so hes certainly worth of being the favourite in spite of his starting position. "I dont know that the rails all that bad," said Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas, who has three horses in the race: Oxbow, Will Take Charge and Titletown Five. "Orb is still the one to beat." The field, from the rail, with odds in parenthesis: Orb (1-1), Goldencents (8-1), Titletown Five (30-1), Departing (6-1), Mylute (5-1), Oxbow (15-1), Will Take Charge (12-1), Govenor Charlie (12-1) and Itsmyluckyday (10-1). Lukas was delighted with the post positions drawn by his trio of entrants. "I love mine. I thought it was real good," he said. "Oxbow for a change got inside a little bit. Hell be forwardly placed. We shouldnt have any trouble. Im going to have to come up with a different excuse when we get beat." ' ' '
