OTTAWA -- The Senators proved on Friday you wont win if you cant control the puck. Ottawa, which struggled all night with puck possession and making passes, had 16 giveaways to the Ducks two en route to a 2-1 defeat. "They didnt give us a lot of time and space to do anything and they were, I thought, for the most part better than we were," said Senators coach Paul MacLean. "We turned over pucks in the first period and we turned over pucks all night long." The win came as a welcome relief for the Ducks, who are on their longest road trip of the season at eight games in 15 days. They were losers of their first two, including a 4-1 loss to Montreal Thursday night. "Our guys did a great job responding and getting back to the hockey that we like to play," said Ryan Getzlaf. "After back-to-back games you cant ask for anything else. Our guys did a great job parking (Thursdays) loss and focusing on this one." Focus, or lack thereof, seemed to be an issue for the Senators as both Anaheim goals were a result of turnovers . "Its a game of mistakes," said Senators goalie Craig Anderson. "They made mistakes also, but we didnt capitalize. When we had our opportunities their goalie made some good saves or we missed our chances." Patrick Maroon and Getzlaf scored for the Ducks (7-3-0) as Frederik Andersen made 26 saves for the victory. Mika Zibanejad scored the lone goal for the Senators (4-3-2). Anderson stopped 26 shots in defeat. The Senators best period was the third, but Andersen, who was making his first start for Anaheim, stopped all 12 shots he faced. "I just want to build on this," said Andersen. "It was fun. It was nice to get a win." For his part Anderson made a couple of great saves late in the third to give the Senators a chance in the final minute with the extra man, but Ottawa was unable to score. Maroon opened the scoring at the seven-minute mark of the first period when he took a pass from Corey Perry and beat Anderson with a wrist shot. A communication breakdown between defenceman Erik Karlsson and Anderson led to the Ducks second goal. Karlsson took the puck behind Ottawas net but mishandled it, allowing Perry to grab it and put it out front where once again Karlsson struggled to clear it. Eventually Getzlaf jumped on the puck and buried it. "I dont think we were there from the start," said Karlsson. "We caught a couple of really bad breaks and were down two goals. Were running up hill the whole game." The Senators cut the lead in half midway through the second on Zibanejads power-play goal, which came as a result of some great work by Cory Conacher, who took a beating in the crease to create a screen. Zibanejad, who was recalled Tuesday, now has a goal and an assist in his last two games and was rewarded for his effort on the night as he saw time on the top line. "Its nice to get that confidence up and be able to contribute to the team with goals and good play, but its a tough loss," said Zibanejad. Ottawa then took three straight minor penalties. Its only saving grace was the fact the Ducks power play has struggled of late. "Those (penalties) are Duracell drainers for sure," said MacLean. "The opposition put us under some pressure again and forced us to take penalties. Thats what good teams do to you and thats what speed does to you." The Senators had a great opportunity to tie the game early in the third with the man advantage, but Clarke MacArthur, who is still looking for his first of the season, wasnt able to bury a loose puck. This was the second and final meeting between the two teams this season. Notes: D Jared Cowen played his 100th NHL career game. C Jean-Gabriel Pageau, LW Matt Kassian and D Patrick Wiercioch were a healthy scratch for the Senatorsa Anaheims RW Teemu Selanne, RW Dustin Penner (concussion, out indefinitely) and D Mark Fistric did not play.

NEWARK, N.J. -- During the course of a season, New Jersey Devils coach Pete DeBoer draws up hundreds of faceoff plays in practice or on the bench. "Rarely do they work," DeBoer said. "Either you lose the draw or you dont get a bounce." The unexpected happened Saturday night. Marek Zidlicky scored with 2.1 seconds showing on the overtime clock after a late timeout by DeBoer and a faceoff win by Travis Zajac to lift the Devils to a stirring 2-1 win over the Florida Panthers. Jaromir Jagr also played a big part in the win, nudging the faceoff win with just over three seconds to play to Zidlicky at the top of the right circle for a shot into the top corner of the net past Tim Thomas. "Pete drew it up, that if I can get it to Jags, he was going to slide it to Zid for a one-timer," Zajac said. "What you saw was what he wanted us to do. Everyone executed their part. It was the perfect setup, really. I was lucky." Zidlicky was perfect with his shot for his eighth goal of the season, the one that helped New Jersey avoid a shootout. The Devils have lost their last 10 shootouts, one shy of the NHL record recently set by Detroit. "That was a great draw, and a great pass. Thats where it all started ... and I just took the shot," Zidlicky said after the Devils finished a 2-0-1 homestand. "That was the perfect setup for us. We try it all the time, and a lot of times it doesnt work. Tonight, it did." Jagr joked that he never got a chance to congratulate Zidlicky because his Czech countryman skated away to hog the glory. The play was good, though. "Just go take a look at the board over there," Jagr said. "It happened just the way we drew it up. Itll probably never happen that way again. It happened exactly the way we wanted to do it. The key was the faceoff. It started with Travis." Jagr earned his 1,724th NHL point, moving him ahead of former Pittsburgh Penguins teammate Mario Lemieux and into seventh place on the leagues career scoring list. Panthers coach Peter Horaceck was more disappointed with his team for its overall play in the game rather than the late goal, which he said was a great shot. "It wasnt very good," he said. "We didnt deserve anything, and we got a point for something we didnt deserve. We didnt play very well. They outplayed us most of the game.dddddddddddd" Still, the late goal was tough on a night in which Thomas was outstanding in making 34 saves. "This is about as bad as it gets," Panthers goal scorer Nick Bjugstad said. "Five seconds. That puck had eyes and went in. What are you going to do? I saw out there I had to block that shot." Michael Ryder extended his goal streak to four games, and Cory Schneider made 29 saves in giving New Jersey its second straight win. With both teams in the bottom half of the Eastern Conference and needing points, the third period was wide open despite the 1-1 tie. Both teams had great chances, but Thomas and Schneider stopped them on the doorstep. Thomas best saves in the period came on a deflection by Reid Boucher and a stuff attempt by Ryane Clowe in the final two minutes. Schneider denied a power-play chance early in the period by Tomas Kopecky, and a shot by Sean Bergenheim with 9.2 seconds left in regulation. Ryder gave the Devils a 1-0 lead with his team-high 16th goal late in the first period. Thomas made a couple of good stops but the Panthers had trouble clearing their zone. Defenceman Erik Gudbranson tried to carry the puck around the net, but Clowe stripped him of the puck and found Ryder alone in front. Florida tied it about a minute after Thomas robbed Adam Henrique on a rebound attempt that prevented New Jersey from taking a two-goal lead. A Panthers counterattack produced the tying goal. Scottie Upshall carried the puck up the right boards and gave it to Bjugstad. He found Tomas Fleischmannn, who sent a pass in front that Bjugstad redirected into the upper corner of the net past Schneider. Schneider stopped breakaways by Upshall and Kopecky in the first two periods. Thomas had at least a half dozen good saves, including stopping a short-handed breakaway by Ryan Carter early in the third. Schneider also got a break when a shot by Brian Campbell hit of the post during a power play. NOTES: Former NBA great Shaquille ONeal dropped the puck during a ceremonial opening faceoff. ... The Panthers three lineup scratches, C Scott Gomez, D Mike Mottau and F Krys Barch, are all former Devils. ... Clowe has assists in three straight games. ... Florida went 1-1-1 on its three-game road trip. ' ' '
