OTTAWA -- Taylor Hall made sure the Edmonton Oilers didnt finish their three-game Eastern road swing empty-handed. Hall scored 17 seconds into overtime as the Oilers defeated the Ottawa Senators 4-3 on Saturday afternoon as part of Hockey Day in Canada. The Oilers (22-28-5) got a 39-save performance from goalie Nikolai Khabibulin and snapped a two-game road slide that included losses in Toronto and Detroit. "Nik was real dialled in I thought and saw pucks," Oilers coach Tom Renney. "The three (goals) that got by him he had a hard time with just because of traffic." "He really gave us a chance to win. The first 10 minutes was all Ottawa and then we settled in and decided to join the parade." It was a full house at Scotiabank Place, including close to 3,000 hockey supporters from Quebec City. Decked out mostly in Nordiques apparel, they were showing their support and desire for a return to the NHL some 16 seasons after their franchise moved to Colorado and became the Avalanche. With 16 minutes to play in each period they stood and cheered, waving white towels in clusters throughout the upper deck of the arena. Daniel Alfredsson, Milan Michalek and Erik Karlsson scored for the Senators (28-22-8), while goalie Craig Anderson made 38 saves. Magnus Paajarvi, Ben Eager and Shawn Horcoff had the other Oilers goals. Horcoff gave Edmonton a 3-2 lead 42 seconds into the third period but the Senators got the equalizer at 9:30 of the period when Karlsson buried his second point shot of a sequence to force the eventual overtime. The Oilers were down a goal twice in the second period but drew even with the Senators by the end of the frame. Paajarvi, who had been shuffled up and down this season to Edmontons minor league affiliate, raised his arms to the sky at 14:05 to tie the score 1-1 off a rebound. The goal was his first of the season. "Its a huge weight off his shoulders," said Oilers forward Sam Gagner, who had his point streak stopped at 15 points in five games, including eight goals. "Hes got a lot of skill so for him to get one its going to really open up a lot of confidence for him and hopefully he keeps going." Ales Hemsky carried the puck on the outside and got a shot off that Anderson stopped, but the rebound went right to Paajarvi in the slot. "Things started out real well for us in the first period, and then the second period started and it was as if we forgot to come out," said Senators coach Paul MacLean. It didnt take the Senators long to regain the lead, however, as Michalek but a backhand past Khabibulin before driving the Oilers netminder into the net. The goal was the first in 13 games for Michalek and just his fifth in his past 22 games. Before the end of the period however, the Oilers managed to tie the game once again as Eager beat Anderson between the legs with a shot from the faceoff circle with a little more than a minute to play in the period. "They came hard and it was a big day for all those guys with Hockey Day in Canada. Theres always a lot of hype around that and they worked hard," said Senators defenceman Chris Phillips, who was honoured prior to the game for his 1,000 game in the league, an accomplishment he reached Thursday against the Nashville predators. "They battled back and capitalized on some mistakes that we made. We put ourselves in a good position early on." Alfredsson scored the only goal of the first period as he deflected a point shot from Karlsson past Khabibulin at 4:36, just 11 seconds after Hall emerged from the penalty box after serving the first of his two minor penalties in the opening 20 minutes.

DALLAS -- The Dallas Mavericks went to a familiar script down the stretch, leaning on Dirk Nowitzki to supply crunch-time offence. Nowitzki scored 22 points, 11 in the final 6-plus minutes, Shawn Marion added 16, and the Mavericks held on to beat the Los Angeles Clippers 96-92 on Monday night. Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle has praised his teams balance on offence this season, but Nowitzkis still the go-to guy with the game on the line. "Hes the classic case of a great player and you just stay the course," Carlisle said. "I played with Larry Bird for three years and there were nights when hed go 2 for 13 and then hit the last three shots to win the game. Dirks the same kind of guy." Jason Terry, Vince Carter and Brendan Haywood all contributed 10 points for the Mavs, whove won 10 in a row at home against the Clippers and extended their overall winning streak to four games. Caron Butler of the Clippers scored a season-high 23 points against his former team, and just missed a 3-pointer with less than 5 seconds left that would have put the Clippers in front. Teammate Blake Griffin added 20 points, but Griffins problems from the free-throw line cost his team as he missed seven of nine foul shots. "Hes been shooting it real well," Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said. "I was surprised they went to foul him. ... It was just one of those nights." Chris Paul had 16 points and nine assists for the Clippers, who completed a 4-2 road trip. They havent beaten the defending NBA champs in Dallas since April 19, 2006. Dallas took control with a 7-0 fourth-quarter run capped by Marions layup with 4:48 remaining for an 86-83 edge. Griffin had a chance to get the Clippers closer, but missed five straight free throws until connecting with 2:15 to play to pull his team within two points at 86-84. Jason Kidd set up Terry for a layup with 2:02 left, and Nowitzki intercepted Griffins pass with 1:47 showing, and drained two free throws to extend Dallas edge to 90-84. Griffins three-point play with 1:24 remaining and Kenyon Martins layup with one minute left narrowed the Mavericks lead to 90-89. Nowitzki drained a 19-footer from the right wing and, after Marion stole the ball from Martin, converted two free throws with 21.2 seconds left for a 94-89 advantage. "I had some looks Ive got to make,&" said Nowitzki, who missed five of seven shots in the final quarter, but got to the free-throw line seven times, converting six.dddddddddddd Pauls three-pointer with 17.8 seconds got the Clippers within two points, and Butlers three-pointer from the right wing missed with 4.5 seconds left. "It felt real good," Butler said of his final shot. "I had my feet under me. It just fell short. It would have been a great ending." Delonte West made two free throws with 2.9 seconds remaining to seal the victory. Dallas defence came up big in the fourth quarter, causing seven turnovers and limiting the Clippers to 5-of-15 shooting from the floor and making it tough for Paul to pass his signature lob passes for dunks by Griffin. "We take it to heart as a team," Haywood said of the Mavs defence. "We dont want teams coming on our home floor showboating. When a team comes in like this, we want to make it hard to get to the rim." Haywood worked inside for 10 of Dallas first 22 points and the Mavs carried a 27-19 lead into the second quarter. Butler, who received a championship ring from the Mavs in pregame ceremonies, got rolling early when he connected on his first three three-point attempts in the first quarter. Carlisle introduced Butler to the crowd before the game, and hugged Butler as the player tried on his ring. "It was more emotional than I thought it would be," Butler said. The Clippers ended a 10-game overall losing streak against the Mavs on Jan. 18 with a 91-89 win in Los Angeles. Chauncey Billups hit the winning 3-pointer with 1 second left. Billups is out for the season with a torn left Achilles tendon sustained in a game on Feb. 6. Notes: Butler was a member of the Mavericks title-winning team last season but missed the final 53 games of the regular season plus the playoffs with a ruptured right patellar tendon. Butler, signed by the Clippers in December as a free agent, made a spirited effort to get his knee healthy enough to contribute for Dallas in the playoffs and Carlisle said before the game that Butler "was very close to being active for the finals. Thats how hard he worked." ... Martin, who grew up in Dallas, played his fourth game for the Clippers since signing as a free agent on Feb. 3. ... Before the game, Carlisle called Paul "the best playmaker in basketball." cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
