  • (Sports Network) - The Ottawa Senators streak into this matchup with the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden riding a four-game winning streak. Earl Thomas Jersey . After a 1-5 start, the Senators turned it around, most recently posting a 4-3 victory Thursday versus the Florida Panthers at ScotiaBank Place. Nick Foligno kept the winning streak alive after he netted the game-winning goal with just 2.5 seconds left in regulation. Daniel Alfredsson finished with a goal and an assist, while Colin Greening and Stephane Da Costa scored the other goals for the Senators, who got 22 saves from goaltender Craig Anderson. "Were fresh, weve been skating a lot since training camp," Foligno said of his teams energy level late in games. "We just play to the last whistle and its a big reason why were winning these games." Senators head coach Paul MacLean announced that center Peter Regin will miss six to eight weeks with a shoulder injury. Regin has one goal and two assists in five games this season. The last time the Senators won five in a row was during a six-game run from March 22-April 1, 2010. The Rangers meanwhile, recently had their home opener spoiled with a loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs at a renovated MSG and will turn their attention to the visiting Senators this afternoon. The Rangers went 3-2-2 on their longest road trip to begin a season and were welcomed back to the Big Apple with open arms from the teams friendly faithful in a sold-out MSG. New York failed to send its fans home happy, dropping a 4-2 decision. Dan Girardi and Michael Del Zotto scored for the Rangers, who came into the game with a record seven-game point streak in home openers dating back to the 2003-04 season. New York was also coming off a 2-1 win at Winnipeg. "Its definitely disappointing. You want to come in here, especially at the start of a fresh season, and get a win in your home building," said Rangers forward Ryan Callahan. "The crowd was great, and they got us going there in the first (period). We had a good first period, but didnt follow it up with a good second or third." Henrik Lundqvist made 32 save in the crease in defeat. The Rangers are also slated to host the Sharks, Ducks, Canadiens and Jets before hitting the road to Ottawa on Nov. 9. Rangers defenseman Michael Sauer returned to the lineup after missing the last five games with a shoulder injury. Ottawa and New York split four matchups a season ago, but the Rangers have won six of the previous 10 meetings between the teams. Ottawa has won three straight and 13 of its last 17 contests at the Rangers. Bruce Irvin Jersey . Or even Nick Swisher, Raul Ibanez or Eric Chavez. Up and down their lineup, the Yankees pose quite a dilemma for even the best pitchers these days. K.J. Wright Jersey . The 20-year-old forward has scored eight times in his last six outings and he now has 11 total goals in 11 games, which puts him top 10 in QMJHL scoring. Felix Girard and Raphael Bussieres had a goal and two assists apiece for the Drakkar (9-4-2), who have earned at least one point in seven straight contests. http://www.nflseahawksfansstore.com/nike-steven-hauschka-Seahawks-jersey/ . Ludwig posted a total score of 376 in the qualification round and did not advance to the final. Kam Chancellor Jersey . Giroux suffered a head injury in the second period of Saturdays victory over the Lightning. The teams top forward took an unintended knee to the head by teammate Wayne Simmonds in the last minute of the second period and did not return. Richard Sherman Jersey . Pinot broke away from the pack during a steep, final climb and captured the 157.5-kilometre (98-mile), eighth stage from Belfort to the Swiss town of Porrentruy. The 22-year-old Frenchman, the youngest rider in the main pack, held on during a frenzied chase in the last 10 kilometres (6 miles), a mostly flat stretch.GUADALAJARA, Mexico -- After a couple of tumultuous months for Canadas womens soccer team that included a heartbreaking performance at the World Cup and the loss of its coach, Karina LeBlanc said she couldnt have written this script any better. Canada claimed its first Pan American Games gold medal in womens soccer in dramatic fashion Thursday in a game that took 120 thrilling minutes and a penalty shootout to decide. Christine Sinclair scored in the 88th minute to tie the score 1-1 as Canada went on to a 4-3 shootout win over Brazil, a welcome boost to a team left reeling after its quick World Cup exit in July and the first tournament win for coach John Herdman. "This story is perfect," said LeBlanc, Canadas veteran keeper who was brilliant in the victory. "We were knocked down after the World Cup, we fell down, and John came in and he said: what do you guys want? We said, we want a gold medal. To go down and to show the resilience our team has. . . . The message moving forward: you know what, you can knock us down, but well find a way." Diana Matheson, Sinclair, Melanie Booth and Sophie Schmidt scored in the shootout for Canada, while veteran LeBlanc stopped shots by Brazils Grazielle and Debora to cement the victory.
