OTTAWA Tyler Graovac Jersey Womens , Ontario (AP) Mike Hoffman joked with Robin Lehner earlier in the day that he was going to get a goal against his former teammate.Hours later Hoffman did just that, scoring 1:13 into overtime Thursday night to give the Ottawa Senators a 3-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres.Hoffman took a cross-ice pass from Erik Karlsson and beat Lehner with a one-timer from the left side to end Ottawa’s two-game skid.Article continues below ...”We were fortunate enough to catch them in a middle of a change and Karlsson made a great play and I just tried to hit the net,” Hoffman said. ”The ice is a little choppy in overtime and you never try to put one in the top corner, it’s more so just getting the puck on net and that’s what I tried to do.”Marian Gaborik and Derick Brassard also scored for the Senators, who rallied after trailing twice in the third period. Craig Anderson made 23 saves.Scott Wilson and Evan Rodrigues scored in regulation for the Sabres, and Lehner finished with 33 saves to fall to 5-0-3 against his former team.”He played terrific and he always seems to bring his best against Ottawa,” Sabres forward Kyle Okposo said of Lehner. ”It wasn’t a clean game and I thought our effort was sporadic. I thought in the second period they absolutely dominated us. We’ve got to better.’Brassard sent the game to overtime after tying the score 2-2 with 30.9 seconds left in regulation.”We got exactly what we deserved. The compete, the battles, (Ottawa) won the majority of them and even though we somehow found a way to get a 2-1 lead, we’ve played much better than that in the last three or four games,” Sabres coach Phil Housley said.”It’s a good learning lesson for our guys that you have to come to play and prepare and compete every night.”Gaborik, making his Senators debut after being acquired from Los Angeles on Tuesday night Youth John Tavares Jersey , tied it 1-1 when he tipped a point shot from Karlsson past Lehner at 5:15 of the third.”I felt good right from the get go. Got use to some systems and some basic rules of thumb and I think it worked out pretty well,” said Gaborik, who also had an assist. ”We battled right to the end and I think their goalie held them in there. Happy to get going on a winning note.”Rodrigues put Buffalo back ahead with 4 1/2 minutes left as he took a pass from Kyle Okposo and beat Anderson off the post and in for his fourth of the season.Earlier in the third, the Sabres had their best offensive pressure of the game during a power play when they kept the puck in the Senators end for the entire two minutes. Kyle Okposo and Ryan O’Reilly both hit the post with shots, but that was as close as Buffalo got during the advantage.The Senators outshot the Sabres 22-12 over the first two periods and had four power plays to just one for the Sabres, but the only goal came 6:31 into the game as Wilson took a shot from the faceoff circle that beat Anderson on the short side. The puck was lobbed into the Senators end before being bobbled by the defensive pairing of Mark Borowiecki and Thomas Chabot and ended up on Wilson’s stick.NOTES: Nick Shore also made his Senators debut after coming over with Gaborik in the deal the sent Dion Phaneuf and Nate Thompson to the Kings. … Alexandre Burrows and Frederik Claesson sat out for the Senators.

CHICAGO (AP) — As a junior hockey phenom, Alex DeBrincat grabbed the attention of scouts as a natural goal scorer who could get open and finish.Now the 20-year-old Blackhawks forward is doing just that in the NHL.DeBrincat scored his second goal of the game and sixth this season with nine seconds left in overtime to lift Chicago to a 4-3 victory over the St. Louis Blues on Saturday night.Set up by Erik Gustafsson’s pass across the crease, DeBrincat tapped the game-winner past Jake Allen from the right edge of the net after Patrick Kane, and then Artem Ansimov, controlled the puck deep in the St. Louis zone.“Everyone’s making great plays, even on that last one Authentic Mitchell Marner Jersey ,” DeBrincat said. “(Gustafsson) made a great pass backdoor to me.”DeBrincat, Chicago’s emerging second-year star, also connected with 6:54 left in regulation to tie the game at 3. Open in the slot, he converted a centering pass from linemate Jonathan Toews after the Blues scored three straight goals to take the lead.“I’m getting pretty lucky right now,” DeBrincat said. “Playing with Toews and (Dominik) Kahun, they’re making great plays and getting me the puck.”Coach Joel Quenneville says more than luck is involved for DeBrincat.“He can do a lot of amazing things,” Quenneville said “He’s got a great stick as well defensively, tremendous hands, great release — whether it’s the reception of the shot how he releases or where he releases it from.”Anisimov scored his first goal and Kane added his fifth in the first period for the Blackhawks (3-0-2), who have skated into overtime in each of their first five games this season.Brayden Schenn notched his first two goals this season as the Blues (1-1-2) rallied from an early two-goal deficit.

He passed Bob Murray, now the Anaheim Ducks general manager.Aided by three power plays, the Blackhawks dominated the first period. Chicago outshot the Blues 23-11 and led 2-0 after 20 minutes.Anisimov opened the scoring 11:51 in, converting a rebound of Brandon Saad’s shot as an interference penalty to Jay Bouwmeester expired. Kane’s power-play goal with 3:59 left in the first made it 2-0.After Allen denied Toews on a stuff-in, Kane picked up the rebound and drifted across the slot. With Allen down — and defenseman Colton Parayko and forward Ivan Barbashev also in the crease — Kane fired the puck in.Four straight manpower advantages in the second and third helped the Blues bounce back.Schenn, who led the Blues with 70 points last season, scored on screened shot at 12:35 of the second with during a delayed penalty call to cut it to 2-1.The Blues took a 3-2 lead with power-play goals 3:03 apart on consecutive shots early in the third.Perron tied it at 2 at 1:44 of the period, capitalizing on Ward’s botched handling of a dump-in.Schenn gave the Blues their first lead at 3-2 at 4:47 when he beat Ward between the pads from the right circle.After DeBrincat score to force overtime, Ward made a stick save to stop Schenn on a breakaway 1:10 into the extra period.NOTES: Keith and Seabrook are the only active teammates to have played in 1 Nikita Zaitsev Jersey Kids ,000 NHL games. They both made their NHL debuts on Oct. 5, 2005, against Anaheim. … Keith, almost certainly a future Hockey Hall of Famer, won the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP in 2015 after he scored the game-winning goal in a deciding Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final against Tampa Bay. … Two brothers, 22-year-old Blackhawks C Nick Schmaltz and 25-year-old Blues D Jordan Schmaltz, met for the first time in the NHL. … St. Louis C Jaden Schwartz sat out with an injured right leg, suffered Thursday against Calgary. .
