				<title><![CDATA[Krejci, Savard highlight third-period surge for Bruins]]></title>
				<description><![CDATA[BOSTON (Ticker) -- David Krejci and the Boston Bruins once again
took advantage of their home-ice advantage.

Krejci snapped a tie midway through the third period and added 
an assist and All-Star Marc Savard scored a goal and set up two 
others as the Bruins snapped a two-game losing streak with a 6-4
victory over the Ottawa Senators on Thursday.

Michael Ryder and Chuck Kobasew also recorded a goal and an 
assist apiece while defenseman Aaron Ward and P.J. Axelsson 
added tallies for the Bruins, who had won 10 consecutive 
contests prior to their recent slide.

"It was an important win for us," Savard said.  "We had lost two
in a row and we did not want to lose three.  If someone would 
have given us 30 wins after our 41st game tonight, I think 
anyone would have taken it in here."

Chris Kelly and Antoine Vermette each registered a goal and an 
assist and blue-liners Chris Phillips and Brendan Bell also 
scored for Ottawa, which has lost four in a row (0-3-1) and 
concluded a 1-6-1 road trip.

"I thought a lot of guys did some great things," Senators coach 
Craig Hartsburg said.  "It's unfortunate that we've done this 
before, we gave the game away.  Guys like Kelly, Vermette and 
(Jesse) Winchester played their hearts out. ... It's just 
unfortunate that we didn't have everybody on the same page."

Winchester collected two assists for the Senators, who have won 
just one of their last 17 contests away from Scotiabank Place 
(1-13-3).

"We just have to get out of this hole and this mess," Ottawa 
goaltender Martin Gerber said.  "Just can't find a way right 
now."

Krejci, who has scored 11 of his 15 goals this season at home, 
gave the Bruins a 4-3 lead by burying his own rebound from in 
front of the net with 9:47 remaining in the third.

"The first two periods, we didn't play great, and in the third, 
we just had to stick with our game plan, work hard and do the 
right things," Krejci said.  "We did good things and were 
rewarded."

Selected to play in his second consecutive All-Star Game earlier
in the day, Savard added an insurance tally just over four 
minutes later, and Axelsson capped Boston's third-period surge 
with an empty-netter in the waning seconds - his 100th career 
goal.

"It was important we got the two points tonight, but I don't 
think we played great today," Krejci said.  "We have to be much 
better against Carolina (on Saturday) if we want to win."

Vermette tallied with 28 seconds left, but the Senators' offense
did not do enough to solve Manny Fernandez, who made 26 saves.

"It wasn't easy, they have a skilled team," Fernandez said.  
"They have been a little off as of late, but they have a 
dangerous hockey club."

Ottawa was able to generate some sparks on the offensive end, 
scoring more than three goals for the first time in seven 
contests.

With Boston already ahead, 2-1, Ryder netted his 15th goal of 
the season at 8:44 of the second period.  But Kelly scored 84 
seconds later and Bell evened the game at 3-3 with 5:28 
remaining in the session by firing a shot past Fernandez from 
the right faceoff circle.

Ward and Kobasew scored 1:55 apart early in the first to stake 
the Bruins to a two-goal lead, but Phillips halved the deficit 
with 7:46 remaining in the period.

"It's a good thing we had that start because we have not played 
so well the beginning of games in the last five or six," Kobasew
said.  "Now we have to find a way to maintain that throughout 
the full 20 minutes."

Gerber, who turned aside 16 shots, has yielded at least three 
goals four times in his last five starts.]]></description>

				<title><![CDATA[Senators conclude woeful road trip in Boston]]></title>
				<description><![CDATA[Ottawa (13-19-6) at Boston (29-7-4), 7:00 pm EST

BOSTON (Ticker) -- With rumors swirling around the status of 
their coach and general manager, the Ottawa Senators will look 
to end their season-long road swing on a positive note.

It will not be easy for the Senators, who conclude their 
eight-game trip against the Boston Bruins on Thursday.

Ottawa is 1-5-1 on its journey, losing its last three contests -
including Tuesday's 4-2 setback to the Buffalo Sabres.  Jason 
Spezza scored both goals for the Senators, who have an NHL-worst
four road wins this season.

A win over the Eastern Conference's top team would go a long 
ways for Ottawa coach Craig Hartsburg, who - along with general 
manager Bryan Murray - could be on the "chopping block."

Multiple reports surfaced Wednesday saying that the pair would 
be fired and replaced by Pat Quinn and Bob Nicholson in the near
future.  Senators owner Eugene Melnyk refuted those claims.

"Contrary to what is being reported today by the media, I have 
made no decisions with respect to any personnel changes within 
the Senators organization," he said.  "Winning remains our No. 1
priority and there is a collective focus by our management, our 
coaching staff and our players to deliver this to our fans."

The Bruins' invincibility at home as faded over the last two 
contests.

After the Buffalo Sabres ended Boston's 10-game winning streak 
and 14-game run at the TD Banknorth Garden, the Bruins suffered 
a 1-0 home loss to the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday.

Boston, which is 14-3-1 at home, hopes to avoid its first 
three-game losing skid since October 20-23.]]></description>
