				<description><![CDATA[OTTAWA (Ticker) -- Mike Fisher scored late in overtime and 
assisted on another tally as the Ottawa Senators rallied from a
pair of two-goal deficits to post a 4-3 victory over the Tampa
Bay Lightning on Saturday.

Dany Heatley tied the game early in the third period and Fisher
scored the game-winner with 1:43 left in the extra session.

Fisher gathered a loose puck near the left wing boards and fired
a wrist shot into the left side of the net past goaltender
Johan Holmqvist for the deciding tally.

"I beat their defenseman at the left side," Fisher said.  "I
skated to the hash mark and saw (Daniel) Alfredsson.  I faked to
Alfredsson and was going to throw it at the short side.  I
missed my shot, but it found a hole hiding between his pads."

Randy Robitaille spearheaded the comeback by scoring a pair of
goals for Ottawa, which got revenge against the last team to
beat it during its seven-game losing streak early last month.

"It was nice that I could contribute," Robitaille said.  "It's
good to get key goals.  It gives me more confidence.  Hopefully,
it doesn't go too long before I get another goal."

Ottawa lost, 4-3, in a shootout to Tampa Bay on December 4, and
then snapped the losing streak the next night against Florida.
But the Senators turned the tables in this one, handing the
Lightning their seventh straight loss by rallying from two goals
down twice.

Ray Emery stopped 16 shots for the Senators, who battled back
from 2-0 and 3-1 deficits to post their second straight win.

Ottawa took advantage of a fortuitous bounce to tie the game at
3-3.

Holmqvist tried to clear the puck out of his zone, but it
deflected off Kyle Wanvig, and Jason Spezza retrieved it at the
left side of the net.

Spezza then sent a pass to Heatley, who was all alone in front.
Heatley stopped the puck and fired a wrist shot over the right
shoulder of Holmqvist just 4:26 into the third.

"It's part of the game where the puck hits a stick and the
bounces go the other way," said Tampa Bay's Vincent Lecavalier,
who scored a first-period goal.  "We can't worry about it.  We
have to focus for (the New York Rangers) on Tuesday."

"That sums up the way it's going," Lightning right wing Martin
St. Louis said.  "We just have to find a way.  I know it's
frustrating, but we can't say it's a stick one night and
something else another night.  It's a big point in this
building, but we gave up a point.  It's a sour feeling."

Tampa Bay seemed intent on ending its six-game slide early as
St. Louis and Lecavalier scored first-period tallies.

However, Robitaille got the Senators within one late in the
session, when he one-timed a backhand feed from Fisher past
Holmqvist's stick side with 39 seconds left.

Jan Hlavac restored Tampa Bay's two-goal bulge when he scored
3:38 into the second period.  But Robitaille struck again,
firing the puck over Holmqvist's left shoulder with just under
four minutes remaining in the session to draw Ottawa within 3-2.

"Those two goals at the end of the periods are killers," St.
Louis said.  "Those are important plays to be made.  We have to
be sharper.  That's what we've been talking about through this.
We just have to play extra hard.  We have to play extra smart
because those goals are going to hurt you."

Holmqvist stopped 23 shots for Tampa Bay, which has the league's
worst road record at 3-15-2.

"We can't wallow in self pity," Lightning coach John Tortorella
said.  "We just have to find a way to complete a game.  You have
to look for encouragement in this game.  We did some good
things and improved on some things.  We have to get better at
the details."]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[Tampa Bay (15-22-4) at Ottawa (26-10-4)            7:00 pm EST

OTTAWA (Ticker) - The Tampa Bay Lightning have not had much to
celebrate lately.

The Lightning will look to snap a six-game losing streak when
they visit the Ottawa Senators on Saturday.

Tampa Bay also has lost nine of its previous 11 contests on the
road.  Not surprisingly, the Lightning own an NHL-worst 3-14-2
mark away from home and have sunk to the bottom of the Eastern
Conference standings.

"It's frustrating.  It's not just the six in a row, it started
before that," Tampa Bay center Vincent Lecavalier said.  "It's
tough, it's tough on everybody.  The morale is down after a game
like tonight.  You come back, you think you're going to win,
and you lose."

Lecavalier did score a goal and set up another Thursday but the
Lightning yielded three unanswered goals in the third period and
suffered a 6-3 setback to the Montreal Canadiens.

Despite the club's struggles, the 27-year-old Lecavalier has a
team-leading 27 goals and leads the NHL with 60 points.

The Senators may hold the conference's best record but they are
beginning to have problems in the crease.

After two disappointing starts by Martin Gerber, Ray Emery
relinquished a three-goal lead Friday before Dany Heatley and
Daniel Alfredsson added late tallies to lift Ottawa to a 5-3
triumph over the Buffalo Sabres.

In the teams last meeting, Tampa Bay record a 4-3 shootout
victory on December 4, but the Senators have posted a 10-3-1
record since then.]]></description>
