Ottawa enters tonight having won five of its last six tilts and the club has compiled an 8-1-2 record over its last 11 games. The surge has helped lift the Senators into the fifth seed in the East. The Senators split a home-and-home series with Philadelphia this weekend. Ottawa dropped a 3-2 overtime decision Saturday in Philly, but rallied for a thrilling 6-4 victory on Sunday. Filip Kuba notched the game-winner with just over one minute left in regulation, as Ottawa used a four-goal third period to down the Flyers at Scotiabank Place. Daniel Alfredsson, Chris Neil, Erik Karlsson and Nick Foligno totaled a goal and assist each for the Senators, while Craig Anderson stopped 33 shots for the victory. Ottawa is 8-7-5 as the visiting team this year and is kicking off a three-game road trip tonight. Already without superstar captain Sidney Crosby due to concussion-like symptoms, the Penguins received a double dose of bad news on Sunday, as the club learned that forwards Jordan Staal and James Neal will both miss significant time with injuries. Staal will miss approximately 4-to-6 weeks with a knee injury suffered in Fridays game against New York when he collided with Rangers forward Mike Rupp. Neal will be lost for "weeks" with a broken foot sustained when he blocked a shot in Saturdays contest against the New Jersey Devils. The 23-year-old Staal has totaled 15 goals and 21 points in 34 games this season, while Neal leads Pittsburgh with 21 goals and ranks second in points with 36 over 40 contests. Pens forward Craig Adams also aggravated an undisclosed injury Sunday at practice and is not expected to play tonight.

Pittsburgh, which is currently holding onto the last playoff seed in the East, has suffered four straight losses -- all in regulation -- on the heels of a four-game winning streak and the Pens have scored a total of five goals during the skid.

The Pens have lost each of their last three games by an identical 3-1 score and the latest setback came Saturday against the visiting New Jersey Devils. Martin Brodeur stopped 41 shots to frustrate Pittsburghs depleted offense. Evgeni Malkin scored the lone goal for the Penguins, while Marc-Andre Fleury gave up all three goals on 27 shots. "Unfortunately, were fighting to score goals," said Pittsburgh head coach Dan Bylsma. "We just cant get that two-goal lead or doing the right things that will help us find that goal." The Penguins, who are closing a three-game homestand tonight, are 11-6-2 as the host this season. Both meetings between the Pens and Sens this year have been high-scoring affairs, as Pittsburgh notched a 6-3 home win on Nov. 25 and Ottawa recorded a 6-4 decision in Canadas capital on Dec. 16. Pittsburgh has taken four of six overall in this series and the Sens have dropped three straight and four of five in the Steel City. Vancouver Canucks at Tampa Bay Lightning - 7:30pm et/4:30pm pt (Sports Network) - Following an emotional victory over the weekend, the Canucks came out flat in their trip to Florida last night. Vancouver will look to rebound this evening against a Tampa Bay Lightning club that is glad to be returning home following a winless swing of its own. The leaders in the Western Conference with 55 points, the Canucks bested the defending Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins on Saturday in a finals rematch, but were limited to just a single goal in the second contest of a four-game swing last night. Dale Weise had the first-period tally, but Vancouver allowed the Florida Panthers to grab control of the game in the second en route to a 2-1 setback. "We only had two shots in the second. That wasnt nearly good enough, but in the third we got some good chances. That second period enabled their team to believe they had a chance to win, and when a team starts believing that their in a game and they have a chance to win, sometimes good things happen," Vancouver head coach Alain Vigneault said. Weise, who potted his third goal of the season, didnt think Saturdays hard- fought 4-3 win at Boston factored into last nights setback. "I dont think so," said Weise. "Weve got enough veteran leadership in this room that we dont have those letdowns. Its just one of those things where you dont execute and things dont go your way. [Tuesdays] another day." Roberto Luongo made 20 saves for a Vancouuver club that had won five of seven and fell to 14-9-1 on the road this season. Paul Molitor Brewers Jersey. The Canucks were without defenceman Sami Salo after he was clipped by Brad Marchand on Saturday, a hit that earned the Boston forward a five-game suspension. Tonights meeting between the Canucks and Lightning features the leagues leader in points in Vancouvers Henrik Sedin as well as the top goal-scorer, the Lightnings Steven Stamkos. Sedin is tops in the NHL with 38 assists and 49 points, but was held without a point last night for only the third time in 13 games. Stamkos, meanwhile, has tallied 28 goals so far on the season and had netted eight markers over a five-game streak that came to an end in Saturdays 3-1 loss at Montreal. The Lightning hit the road for three games following a perfect three-game homestand, but dropped contests in Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal. They are 6-15-3 as the guest this season compared to 11-5-0 at home. Mathieu Garon made 25 saves and Vincent Lecavalier scored the lone goal in the first period for the Lightning, who are on their longest skid since a five- game slide from Nov. 28-Dec. 6. "There were two teams that were battling. It was pretty even," Lightning head coach Guy Boucher said. "The Canadiens worked hard and they deserve it." A participant in last seasons Eastern Conference finals, Tampa Bay currently sits 13th out of 15 teams in the conference and is nine points back of a playoff spot. The Canucks own 15 wins in their 23 all-time meetings with the Lightning, but Tampa Bay has won two straight and three of the last four encounters. The Bolts claimed a 5-4 overtime win at Vancouver in the lone meeting last year, getting a pair goals and an assist from Stamkos. The Canucks have lost two straight in Tampa Bay. New Jersey Devils at Calgary Flames - 9:30pm et/6:30pm pt (Sports Network) - Martin Brodeur and Jarome Iginla figure to both be members of the Hall of Fame following the end of their outstanding NHL careers. But for 2011-12, the goal for the two veterans is simply getting back to the postseason. Iginlas Calgary Flames hope to move up the Western Conference ladder with a seventh straight home victory this evening against the Brodeur-led New Jersey Devils, owners of points in five of their past six. The Flames come into tonights meeting five points back of a playoff spot in the West. They have missed out on the playoffs in each of the past two seasons after making four straight trips. The Devils, meanwhile, are sixth in the Eastern Conference as they look to return to the playoffs after having a string of 13 straight appearances halted a season ago. Calgary is hoping to use a four-game homestand to make a move in the West. The Flames opened up the stand with a 3-1 victory over the Wild on Saturday, a win that featured the 500th career goal from Iginla. Iginla became the 42nd player in league history to reach the milestone when his pass attempt hit off a Minnesota skater and into the net. The goal came on the same night that teammate Lance Bouma netted his first career tally. "That accomplishment is an individual accomplishment, but its also about him having strong teammates and playing for a first class organization -- a lot of things are involved in it," Flames coach Brent Sutter said of Iginlas 500th goal. "To see a guy score his 500th goal and to see a guy score his first goal, [this games] got a neat story to it." Curtis Glencross added his team-leading 17th goal of the season -- one more than Iginla -- and Miikka Kiprusoff made 27 saves as Calgary snapped a five- game slide and improved to 11-5-2 as the host this year. That is against just an 8-14-3 mark on the road. The Devils are 5-1-1 in their last seven on the road and kicked off a four-game swing on Saturday with a 3-1 win at Pittsburgh. Brodeur continued his recent surge with 41 saves to secure the 637th win of his career. Adam Henrique scored New Jerseys league-leading ninth shorthanded goal and Dainius Zubrus lit the lamp on his clubs lone power-play chance. The Devils also stopped the Penguins on their two man advantages and are killing off penalties at a 91.2-percent clip. "When you play in a building like this you need everything to go right," said New Jersey head coach Peter DeBoer. "Marty came up with the stops and our special teams were huge tonight." Ilya Kovalchuk and Henrique each ended with a goal and an assist for the Devils, who have won their past two and are 4-1-1 in the last six. The Devils have won three of their past four versus the Flames, taking a 2-1 shootout win at home in the lone meeting last year on Kovalchuks game-winner in the tiebreaker. New Jersey was bested 5-3 in its last trip to Calgary on March 5, 2010. wholesale authentic nfl jerseys ' ' '
