After falling 3-2 in overtime on the road against the New York Islanders on Tuesday, the Ottawa Senators were hoping to get a boost in Thursdays return leg of the home-and-home with the buzz from the retirement tribute to longtime Senator Daniel Alfredsson. Morgan Burnett Jersey . All it got was a 2-1 loss, the teams fifth one-goal defeat in the last seven games. The task doesnt get any easier as they head to the CONSOL Energy Center for a date with Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins Saturday. Viewers in the Senators region can watch the game live on TSN5 starting at 1pm et/2pm at. The game can also be heard live on TSN Radio 1200 Ottawa with coverage starting at 11am et. After one loss youve got some concern, winger Chris Neil said. You want to win as many games as possible, but right now were just finding ways to lose games. Having Bobby Ryan and Marc Methot healthy should help as Ottawa tries to avoid a fifth straight loss. Ryan returned Thursday after missing just two games with a fractured finger, and Methot - perhaps the Senators most reliable defenseman after Erik Karlsson - made his season debut after missing the first 24 games with a back injury. Winger Mark Stone, however, wont play after getting hit with a puck in Thursdays loss. The Senators went 2-0-1 in last seasons series behind a goal and three assists from Karlsson. Craig Anderson, currently on a five-game losing streak, stopped 73 of 75 shots in two appearances and helped hold Crosby without a point. After being the NHLs best offensive team - and quite possibly its best overall - for the majority of October and November, the Pittsburgh Penguins depth up front is dwindling and pucks arent going in. Theres still Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, but not much else. With just one goal in their last six periods and forwards dropping by the day, the Penguins try to move ahead Saturday as they host an Ottawa Senators team that cant seem to get over the hump in close games. Pittsburgh (17-6-2) led the league with an average of 3.67 goals through Nov. 21, helping it accumulate 28 points through 18 games with fewer defeats than any other team. Some recent personnel losses, however, have left the Penguins searching for answers offensively. Already without Pascal Dupuis (blood clots) and Beau Bennett (lower body) heading into this week, Pittsburgh lost fellow top-six forwards Chris Kunitz to a fractured foot in Tuesdays 1-0 win over New Jersey and Patric Hornqvist to a possible concussion in Thursdays 3-0 loss to Vancouver. With those four down, the Penguins top four wingers alongside Crosby and Malkin are Blake Comeau, Nick Spaling, Steve Downie and Jayson Megna. Getting desperate, Pittsburgh on Friday traded prospect Philip Samuelsson to Arizona for forward Rob Klinkhammer, who spent 15 games with the Senators in 2011-12. If (Hornqvists) out, then we all got to step up and find a way, Crosby told the Penguins official website. I dont think theres anyone here whos going to feel sorry for us. Other teams arent, so we just got to find a way to get through it. Crosby, tied for the NHL lead with 33 points, has none in his last three games and registered just three shots. The only longer point drought of his career was five games from Oct. 31-Nov. 10, 2009. The regression is continuing for Pittsburghs power play, which converted on 41.3 percent of its chances through 11 games. The Penguins are at 14.3 percent with the man advantage since Nov. 5 - among the NHLs bottom 10 - and theyve gone 0 for 9 over the past four games. Pittsburgh has averaged 2.00 goals a game over its last seven. I just think we need to play better, Crosby said. Thats the bottom line. The Penguins figure to be in for a tight game against the Senators (10-10-5), who have experienced plenty of close calls lately - most of which havent gone in their favor. T. J. Watt Jersey . "For the past several weeks, Logan has been dealing and playing with an upper body injury," said general manager Doug Wilson in a statement. "Despite his efforts to play through it, the injury has not responded as we had hoped and Logan has made the decision to undergo a surgical procedure to repair the problem.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Fernando Rodney was good for another dozen pitches and the Seattle Mariners were good for a sweep. Rodney, working for the fourth straight day, earned his 21st save in 23 chances as the Mariners defeated the Kansas City Royals 2-1 on Sunday for a three-game sweep. Rodney, who had thrown 46 pitches in the previous three days, got saves in all three games at Kansas City. He last got into four consecutive games on May 27-30, 2013, for Tampa Bay. "It was no problem," Rodney said. "I said I feel ready. I got warmed up and felt good, felt loose. Thats why Im a reliever." "Sometimes early in the season you have a little problem with getting loose. When the weather warms up it helps get me a little more loose," he said. Rodney dispatched the Royals on 12 pitches, giving up a two-out single to pinch-hitter Mike Moustakas before striking out Pedro Ciriaco to preserve the one-run lead. "Its simple," Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said on summoning Rodney once again. "I had a talk with him and he felt good. Hes worked very, very efficiently, and he was very efficient today as well. He has not thrown a lot of pitches. Hes definitely off tomorrow. He asked me if he could go to the Dominican, but I told him no." Rookie Roenis Elias pitched neatly into the seventh inning and Mike Zunino homered for the Mariners, who have won 18 of their past 26 road games. After winning 10 straight to move into first place in the AL Central, the Royals have dropped four in a row, three of them by 2-1 scores. "Were playing fine, but just an offensive down turn a little bit," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "You go through the ups and downs. A four-game losing streak right when you had put together a nice 10-game winning streak, its tough." Elias (7-5), a 25-year-old left-hander from Cuba, limited the Royals to one run and five singles over 6 2-3 innings. He struck out five, walked two and improved to 4-1 in June. "Everything was working," Elias said through a translator. Zunino hit his ninth home run, tops among AL catchers. Heath Miller Jersey. He connected off Yordano Ventura (5-6) leading off the seventh to break a 1-all tie. "Even though things arent going our way right now, I think were playing really good," Ventura said with teammate Bruce Chen acting as interpreter. Zunino led off the fifth with a double and scored on Willie Bloomquists two-out double. "We stepped up to the challenge and were able take three from them," Bloomquist said. "It shows what were able to do when we play well. Those guys are a very, very good baseball team. Granted, a bounce here or there and it could have come out differently." Ventura (5-6) had won his previous three starts. "He hung a breaking pretty good (to Zunino)," Yost said. "Outside of that, he pitched a great ball game. Anytime you go seven innings and give up two runs you give your team a chance to win a game thats a great job." The Royals scored their run in the second, which Alex Gordon and Salvador Perez opened with singles. Justin Maxwells sacrifice fly brought home Gordon. Royals shortstop Alcides Escobar left in the seventh with a bruised left shin. He was hit in the second by a pitch. X-rays were negative. The Mariners won a challenge in the seventh when Ciriaco was ruled safe at first for a bunt single. After a reliever that took over 3 minutes, the call was overturned and Ciriaco was out. NOTES: Royals 3B Danny Valencia, who missed 19 games with a muscle strain in his left hand, was activated from the disabled list. He went 0-for-3 with a strikeout. The Royals optioned RHP Louis Coleman to Triple-A Omaha as they opted to go with a 12-man staff. ... Mariners ace RHP Felix Hernandez, who starts Monday at home against Boston, is 4-1 with a 1.33 ERA in his past seven starts. The lone loss was 1-0 on June 18 at Texas when he allowed three hits, walked none and struck out 10. ... Seattle starters have allowed one run or less in nine of their past 10 games for a 1.50 ERA in that stretch.
