OTTAWA - Clarke MacArthur had a simple explanation with regards to why his Ottawa Senators couldnt claw back against the St. Louis Blues.The Senators trailed by one goal heading into the third period on Saturday and couldnt spark a comeback as the Blues dominated the final 20 minutes to hang on to a 3-2 victory.Theyre making hockey plays and were not, said MacArthur. Were not making good passes. Theyre going tape-to-tape and moving it and we werent, so its tough to get momentum. Its just got to be crisper.Alex Steens second period goal held up as the winner.Maxim Lapierre and Vladimir Tarasenko also scored for the Blues, who improved to 13-6-1, while Brian Elliott stopped 24 shots.It was good for the boys to get the win, said T.J. Oshie. It was good for us to get some goals for our goaltenders as theyve been working hard and playing outstanding all year and we havent been getting them as many goals as of late so it was nice to get (Elliott) the win.Ottawa got goals from Mika Zibanejad and Erik Karlsson as Robin Lehner, making his second consecutive start, stopped 30 shots.Lehner could hardly be faulted for his effort, although the 23-year-old felt he could have been better.First goal is tough when it comes right off the bat and he opened me up, its something Ive got to work on, said Lehner. I think the tip on the third goal too. Its just a reflex to start reaching with your stick to deflect it into the corner and out of the rink and he tipped it back. That stuff bugs me and Ive got to work on it, but I felt like I came back good in the third and had some good saves.The two teams meet again Tuesday in St. Louis for the second and final time this season.Ottawa (9-6-4) made a habit of playing poorly in afternoon games last season, going a dreadful 3-7-2 in games starting before 5 p.m. Eastern— and it seems to have picked up where it left off.When asked about the Senators record in matinee meetings Karlsson made light of the teams struggles.Its just another stat to keep track of, said Karlsson. We havent won a lot of afternoon games, were all aware of it, but its not something we really think about. We can try to do different things, but we try everything we can to win games, but theyre a good team and were going to lose sometimes.Trailing 3-2, the Senators started the third period on a power play, but were unable to capitalize on the opportunity.St. Louis outshot the Senators 15-5, dominated the face-off circle and won numerous puck battles in the final 20 minutes.They outplayed us in the third period, which was the only thing that would be disappointing in the game, said Senators coach Paul MacLean. I thought we were competitive and played hard against a hard team.The two teams exchanged goals in the second, but it was Lehner and Elliott who stood out.Elliott made a huge glove save on Colin Greening early in the period and minutes later Lehner bailed out Karlsson on a brutal giveaway that led to a Tarasenko point-blank chance.It was the second time in the game that Lehner had to bail out his captain after a giveaway.St. Louis made it a two-goal game at the 12-minute mark as Steen tipped Jay Bouwmeesters shot on the way to the net to beat Lehner.The Senators managed to cut the lead to one on Karlssons power-play goal from the point late in the period.I didnt see it coming through all the bodies, said Elliott, who spent part of four seasons playing for the Senators. Those are tough ones to swallow, especially when youre up 3-1. That goal makes it a tight game. We battled back and kept things to the outside for most of the rest of the game. Obviously when youre not going to the box, that helps as well.Both teams had a solid first 20 minutes, but it was the Blues who went into the break with a 2-1 lead.The Blues opened the scoring on their very first shot of the game as Lapierre got around Cody Ceci and went on to beat Lehner through the legs.Every once in a while I try to create some offense and things like that, said Lapierre. It worked tonight, but it doesnt work every night.Ottawa tied the game on the power play at the 16-minute mark as Bobby Ryan came from behind the net and found Zibanejad in front. But a mere 30 seconds later, St. Louis regained the lead as Jori Lehtera found Tarasenko all alone. Tarasenkos goal was his team-leading 12th of the season.The Senators now head out for a five-game, eight-day road trip starting Monday against Detroit. The Blues head to Winnipeg to take on the Jets on Sunday.Notes: The Senators Chris Phillips was a late scratch. MacLean said Phillips was experiencing discomfort from an issue that bothered him earlier in the week. Marc Methot remains sidelined (back, indefinite). Erik Condra and Curtis Lazar were healthy scratches for Ottawa. The Blues Joakim Lindstrom, Chris Porter and Chris Butler were healthy scratches. Larry Fitzgerald Jersey .

Will star signing Sebastian Giovinco come sooner than later? Where does Brazilian striker Gilbertos future lie? And whats going on with English forward Luke Moore?Toronto unveiled Damien Perquis, signed from Spains Real Betis, and Eriq Zavaleta, acquired via trade from Seattle, as the team had its first workout under the bubble on a grey, chilly day at the TFC training centre.Those additions ticked one box, but camp opened with a large question-mark over the captain.Veteran Scottish centre back Steven Caldwell is the incumbent. And while the proud Caldwell has worn his heart on his sleeve in leading the team, all signs recently have pointed to a change in leadership.American star midfielder Michael Bradley, who wore the armband when Caldwell was injured or suspended last season, is clearly seen as the heart of the team.Tim Leiweke, president and CEO of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, has made a point of talking up Bradleys role in helping land stars Jozy Altidore and Sebastian Giovinco. Bradley, said Leiweke, was in the information loop all along.Caldwell was asked Monday whether his input was sought.No I wasnt consulted, he answered.The 34-year-old Scot said he would be disappointed to lose the captaincy.I love being captain of this football club, he said. Ive captained every team Ive played for since I was 15 so its something that I relish, I enjoy and I think Im quite good at it. Its a great honour to be captain of any club. I dont treat it lightly. I love being captain of Toronto. So I hope to stay that.Head coach Greg Vanney and general manager Tim Bezbatchenko sidestepped the issue.We havent really crossed that bridge entirely yet, said Vanney. We want to see all our faces (in camp) and sit down and give the proper respect to everybody in the group so that they understand how were going to be moving forward.Bradley, along with striker Jozy Altidore, is away with the U.S. national team until Feb. 9 so it will take a while for that sit-down. In the meantime, the issue oof captain remains a topic of conversation.dddddddddddd.Bezbatchenko deferred the issue of captain to his coach.While Giovinco is scheduled to join Toronto in July after his contact with Juventus expires, there has been chatter the designated player could arrive sooner.Hell be coming as soon as we possibly can get him here, said Vanney.Bezbatchenko was somewhat more cautious about an early Giovinco arrival.We have not spoken one word with Juventus about that, the GM said. Its something we would entertain because if we can get a player of that quality for the entire season, that would help our roster. But hes a Juventus player, we havent spoken to them yet and Ill guess well just see.Which begs the question why not ask?As of right now hes a player for them ... theyre in a position where they need top players, said Bezbatchenko, shedding no more light on the matter.Gilberto, meanwhile, remains in Brazil while the team sorts out its designated player logjam. Only three are allowed and Toronto, with Altidore, Bradley, Gilberto and Giovinco, has four.With no expectation of any immediate roster rule changes, Toronto has to shed a DP by March 1, which is roster compliance day.Were working through our options now with the league, Bezbatchenko said of Gilberto. There could be a trade, it could be a loan or a transfer.Moore, meanwhile, was absent Monday. Bezbatchenko said the club was finalizing a possible new deal that would have the English forward back in the fold in days.Returning players were optimistic about the off-season player moves.Its never boring around here, but I think it just shows that this club is committed to winning, said fullback Justin Morrow. Thats what you want to be around as a player so Im excited to be here and Im excited to start the season.Zavaleta, a former Seattle first-round pick and Vanneys nephew, cost Toronto a second-round draft choice. Perquis is expected to partner Caldwell at centre back, with young backup options in Nick Hagglund, Zavaleta and draft choices Clement Simonin and Skylar Thomas.The team will train the rest of the week indoors before flying Sunday to Orlando.
