(Sports Network) - The Ottawa Senators will try to bounce back after having a winning streak halted on Saturday, as they host the New York Islanders today at Scotiabank Place. cheap jerseys . The Senators had won four in a row before dropping Saturdays home tilt to the Boston Bruins. The regulation win was big for the Bruins, who extended their lead atop the Northeast Division to five points over Ottawa. The Sens are still sitting seventh in the Eastern Conference and are four points ahead of eighth-seeded Winnipeg. Patrice Bergeron tallied twice and added one assist for the Bruins in the important 5-3 victory. Daniel Alfredsson scored a pair of late goals for the Senators, who also lost in regulation for the first time since Feb. 7 against St. Louis. Jason Spezza notched three assists and Erik Karlsson added a goal and two helpers in defeat. Alex Auld allowed four goals on 37 shots in the loss. "Theyre a good hockey club for a reason. Weve played some better games against them but we cant find a way to beat them," Spezza said about Boston, which is 4-0 against the Senators this season. "We definitely battled them hard." Karlsson extended his point streak to six games, and his three-point performance gives him 63 on the season, tying him with Norm Maciver (63 in 1992-93) for the most points in a single season by an Ottawa defenseman. Spezza also reached a milestone, as his primary assist on Alfredssons first goal was the 600th point of his career. With No. 1 goaltender Craig Anderson sidelined with a lacerated pinky finger on his right hand, Auld could get the start again today for the Senators. Robin Lehner, who was recalled from Ottawas AHL affiliate in Binghamton, has started just one game at the NHL level this year and that was a win over Toronto on Oct. 30. Todays test marks the end of a three-game homestand for the Sens, who are 16-12-3 as the host this season. The Isles are eight points out of a playoff spot in the East and are coming off a victory on Friday against the rival Rangers. Matt Moulsons goal in the fourth round of the shootout lifted the Islanders to a 4-3 home decision over the Eastern Conference leaders. After the teams traded goals in the first round and misses in the second and third, Moulson skated down the center of the ice and snapped a wrister past the stick side of Martin Biron. The Rangers John Mitchell had a chance to keep the shootout going, but his five-hole attempt was turned aside by Evgeni Nabokov to snap a two-game slide for the Islanders. "I always liked taking shootout shots," said Moulson. "Its fun for the fans and that was an exciting finish." Moulson had a goal and an assist in regulation, while P.A. Parenteau scored twice for the Islanders, who improved to 8-8 in games played past regulation this season. Nabokov stopped 33-of-36 shots. Todays test marks the first stop on a three-game road trip for the Islanders, who are 12-13-3 away from Nassau Coliseum this season. The Islanders and Senators have split two games this season, but Ottawa slammed New York, 6-0, on Long Island earlier this week. Karlsson totaled four points on two goals and two assists for Ottawa in Mondays rout, as the Sens won for the seventh time in the last 11 encounters between these clubs. The teams have split the last eight meetings in Canadas capital city. . The Eskimos (5-8) lost all five games they played in the month, including Fridays 39-15 setback to the Calgary Stampeders (8-5).

The 30-year-old from Mont-Tremblant, Que., overcame a near-crash to race to a second-place finish Saturday in a World Cup downhill on the same course where he claimed his world championship title last year. nfl jerseys china . The 31-year-old tennis star had been scheduled to play a first-round match Tuesday against Ana Ivanovic. .Y. -- The underachieving Buffalo Sabres began retooling for the future by trading defenceman Jordan Leopold to the contending St.BOSTON -- Claude Julien is no fan of Maxim Lapierre. In the hours leading up to Game 3 of the Stanley Cup final, the Boston Bruins coach suggested Lapierre made a "mockery" of the sport by taunting Patrice Bergeron with his glove during Saturday nights game in Vancouver. Bergeron had his finger bitten by Canucks forward Alex Burrows in Game 1. Speaking to reporters in French on Monday morning, Julien said that Lapierres on-ice antics are despised by his own team as much as those he plays against. "Its one of the reasons he played for three teams this year," Julien said in French. The Bruins had previously taken the high road when asked about the biting incident earlier in the series. Julien is also unhappy Burrows wasnt suspended -- an important decision since he went on to score the overtime winner in Game 2. "The NHL rules on something -- they decide to make a mockery of it, thats totally up to them," said Julien. "If thats their way of handling things, so be it. Again, we cant waste our time on that kind of stuff. We really have to focus on what we have to do. The last time I looked, were down two games to none, and all our energy has to go towards that." Indeed, the Bruins have dug themselves a pretty big hole with a pair of one-goal losses in Vancouver. Julien refused to reveal whether hes considering any lineup changes, such as inserting tough guy Shawn Thornton for the first time since the Eastern Conference final against Tampa. Thornton is a fan favourite at TD Garden and predicted a wild atmosphere for the first Stanley Cup final game in the city since 1990 -- even expressing some concern for Canucks fans brave enough to make the trip like the famous Green Men. [url=http://www.goodcheapjerseys.com/]jerseys from china. "Bostons very passionate," said Thornton. "I just hope they get out of here safe." Vancouver is unlikely to make any changes to the winning formula it established during the opening games of the series. Defenceman Dan Hamhuis remains sidelined with a lower-body injury he suffered in Game 1 and hasnt skated since -- an indication Andrew Alberts will likely continue to fill his spot. In the absence of lineup changes, the biggest storyline running through the series is the biting debate. Julien and Lapierre have some history together. Julien was coaching the Montreal Canadiens when the forward made his NHL debut during the 2005-06 season. One thing the Bruins coach made clear is that he wouldnt look kindly upon one of his players waving their glove in the face of an opponent. "I cant really talk about their team," said Julien. "Im going to talk about mine because I dont handle those players. I dont deal with those players on a 1-on-1 basis. It really isnt up to me to I guess comment on it. If its acceptable for them, then so be it. "Certainly wouldnt be acceptable on our end of it." For his part, Lapierre refused to answer any questions about the incident or the comments made by Julien. "I want to win the game and whatever happened in the past, happened in the past," he said.
