OTTAWA -- Derek Stepan felt like he shed a huge weight Saturday afternoon. The New York Rangers centre had a goal and two assists in a 4-1 victory over the Ottawa Senators ending a 13-game goal-scoring drought. Stepans last goal was Dec. 20th. "Its a big relief," admitted Stepan. "I dont know for whatever reason throughout the year you go through these little dips and gullys and you have to find a way to just get through it. Its like the old saying of getting a monkey off your back." While the goal will definitely help Stepan feel better about his game, he said picking up the two assists were just as important. "It definitely helps with confidence," said Stepan. "Confidence is a tricky thing in this sport. When you seem to find a little bit of it you have to try and build off that momentum." Winners of five of their last six and holding a playoff spot have the Rangers feeling good about their game and they want to continue to improve. "Weve been talking about it as a group that points for the rest of the year are huge," said Stepan. "This one was no different." Brad Richards, Rick Nash and Mats Zuccarello also scored for the Rangers (26-21-3). Cam Talbot was solid in goal stopping 27 shots for his 10th win of the season. Marc Methot scored the lone goal for Ottawa (21-19-9) as Craig Anderson stopped 26 shots. The loss put an end to the Senators eight-game (6-0-2) point streak. Ottawa is 1-4-2 on home ice when having to play midday. This one was no different. The last time the Senators won at home in the afternoon was Nov. 9 against the Florida Panthers, which also happens to be the last time they held a playoff spot. "I dont know what it is," said Clarke MacArthur. "To even talk about it is just an excuse. We have to be ready. The other teams come in here ready at two so we have to find a way to be better." Giveaways proved to be extremely costly for Ottawa as the Rangers scored twice on two terrible ones. "It happens to all of us once in a while," said Marc Methot of the giveaways. "Unfortunately it happened a few times (Saturday)." Zuccarello took advantage of a giveaway by Chris Phillips near centre ice and broke in alone on Anderson. He caught Anderson out of position to make it 4-1 New York late in the third. While the Senators were managing to hold on during the game despite their sluggish play a late goal in the second proved to be the back breaker. With 11.5 seconds remaining Erik Karlsson went to pass the puck back behind his own net but put it directly on Stepans stick. Stepan beat Anderson shortside to give the Rangers a 3-1 lead and disappoint the 19,978 on hand at Canadian Tire Centre. "It was a momentum swing for sure," said Ottawas coach Paul MacLean of giving up the late goal. "Instead of getting out of the period down one, youre down two. It gives momentum to the other team going into the room and now you have to work even harder coming out of the room to start the period to get something going." MacLean said he didnt feel any need to talk to Karlsson as a mistake that blatant is sure to have an effect on any player. Earlier in the period Nash picked up his 12th of the season, as he broke in alone on Anderson and roofed the puck high. "It was a great play by Stepan," said Nash. "The puck rolled on me a bit, but youll take them any way you can get them." Ottawa had gotten off to a decent start with Methot scoring his fourth, tying a career high, to take a 1-0 lead, but midway through the period the Rangers tied it with a power-play goal. With a two-man advantage Stepan made a cross-crease pass to Richards who went high on a kneeling Anderson. "We started the game well and set ourselves up for a good hockey game," said Karlsson. "We just couldnt pull through for 60 minutes. We were a little bit too sloppy with the puck making plays." Saturdays game marked the first of three meetings between the two teams this season. Ottawa had claimed five straight overall against New York in the regular-season series, including the last three in Ottawa.

VANCOUVER -- Vancouver Canucks forwards Daniel and Henrik Sedin and defenceman Alex Edler will play for Sweden at the world hockey championships. J.P. Barry, the Sedins agent, confirmed Wednesday the twins will play for their homeland at the worlds. They will leave Vancouver for Stockholm on Friday after attending a media availability to discuss the disappointing end of the Canucks season. The Swedes became available after the Canucks were eliminated from the Stanley Cup playoffs Tuesday by the San Jose Sharks. The Canucks lost 4-3 in overtime as the Sharks swept the best-of-seven Western Conference quarter-final. This will mark the fifth time the Sedins have represented Sweden in world championship play. They helped their homeland win bronze medals in 2001 and 1999. Mark Stowe, Edlers agent, also confirmed the defenceman will head to Stockholm to take part in the worlds. Stowe did not know when Edler will leave Vancouver, but it appears likely the rearguard will depart around the same time as the Sedins. Edler is also slated to take part in the media aavailability with reporters Thursday at Rogers Arena.dddddddddddd This will mark the second time Edler has represented Sweden at worlds, which are being held in both Stockholm and Helsinki. The host Swedes are playing their preliminary-round games in Stockholm. He also toiled for Sweden in 2008. Meanwhile, the International Ice Hockey Federations website reported that, in addition to the Sedins and Edler joining Sweden, Canucks prospect Nicklas Jensen will play for Denmark. Jensen, 20, was Vancouvers first choice (29th overall) in the 2011 NHL entry draft. He spent most of the season with AIK of the Swedish Elite League and also toiled for 20 regular-season games with the Chicago Wolves, the Canucks top farm club. The Canucks called up Jensen late in the regular season, and he played two games without earning a point while posting a minus-one mark. He was not used in the playoffs. The IIHF website also reported that Vancouver winger Jannik Hansen, one of Denmarks top players, declined an invitation to play at the worlds due to an injury.
