OTTAWA -- The Ottawa Senators said they needed four points this weekend to make a serious playoff push.

3-1 defeat on home ice to the Colorado Avalanche, the Senators walked away from
their weekend games with just one point. "It was a big weekend for us and we
lose both games," said Senators captain Jason Spezza. "We played good but its a
different way to lose every night and results are the only thing that matter
right now. "We didnt turn the puck over much, we created a lot but again. It
just wasnt enough to win the game and its unacceptable." Andre Benoit,
Nick Holden and John Mitchell scored for the Avalanche (44-19-5) while
Matt Duchene had two assists as Colorado picked its third win in four games, and
seventh in its past nine. Semyon Varlamov made 38 saves. The Colorado goalie was
just six seconds away from his second shutout of the season and 13th in his
career until Mika Zibanejad scored at 19:54. Robin Lehner made 19 saves in his
second straight start for the Senators (28-26-13) since Craig Anderson was
injured last week in a loss to the Nashville Predators. "Response to the game
(Saturday) was positive," said Senators coach Paul MacLean. "A lot of the
statistical things were positive, but at the end of the day its the score that
matters and we gave up three goals and only scored one. "We created
opportunities to score but I dont think we got to their net as hard as we could
have and we missed the net a number of times." Nursing a 1-0 lead heading into
the third period, the Avalanche were awarded their first and only power play of
the game when Ottawa forward Chris Neil closed his hand on the puck and was
called for delay of game. Duchene took a shot during the man advantage that
Lehner stopped but the rebound went right to Holden, who was alone at the side
of the net and scored at 3:10. "The power play was sharp again, we had only one
opportunity but scored a very important goal for us," Avalanche coach
Patrick Roy said before praising the play of his goaltender. "He was very solid
and he made some very key saves. I thought we had too many turnovers in that
second period. Our goalie was without a doubt the first star of the game." The
Senators pressed throughout the period, but the game was virtually over when
Mitchell beat Lehner from in tight with less than three minutes to go in the
game. Following a scoreless opening period, Ottawa held a heavy edge in play
over the second 20 minutes. Ottawa outshot the Avalanche 20-8 in the second
period but it was former Senator Andre Benoit that scored the periods only goal
and gave Colorado a 1-0 lead in the process. The Avalanche broke out
three-on-one late in the period and after receiving a drop pass from
Patrick Bordeleau, Benoit moved into the slot and put a shot over the shoulder
of Lehner. "Its always fun to score against an old team and I had lots of family
and friends here. Hopefully they keep going in," said Benoit, who is from St.
Albert, about 30 minutes from Ottawa. "It was a big game and we were able to get
a win. We have to keep this going now." Benoit was a fan favourite in Ottawa
despite playing just 41 games for the Senators over two seasons. He has played
in 66 of Colorados 68 games this season and has nine goals in 107 career games.
Four of those have come in his last nine games. Notes: Matt Kassian,
Patrick Wiercioch and Craig Anderson were scratches Sunday for the Senators.
Scratches for the Avalanche were P.A. Parenteau, Paul Stastny, Paul Carey,
Ryan Wilson and Reto BerraaSenators defenceman Erik Karlsson played his 300th
NHL game on Sunday. Forward Kyle Turris played in his 300th game Saturday in the
Senators loss to MontrealaThe last time the Avalanche recorded 44 wins in a
season was back in 2007-08aThe Avalanche are the only team in the NHL to sore at
least one goal in every game this season.

Victor Oladipo calls Dwyane Wade a mentor. And when theyve gotten together for
their off-season workouts, the Orlando guard has obviously been paying
attention.Oladipo scored or assisted on Orlandos final nine points, Nikola
Vucevic led all scorers with 26 and the Magic snapped a 10-game drought against
Miami by topping the Heat 102-101 on Monday night — escaping when Wades
20-footer missed at the end.Hes a great player, Oladipo said of Wade, who has
ties to the Magic guard because both played college ball under Tom Crean at
Indiana and Marquette, respectively. When its all said and done, hes going to be
one of the greatest to ever play. He already is to me. Its great to have him as
a mentor and a close friend.Wade had 15 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter,
the third time hes scored that many in the final 12 minutes at home this season.
Miami is 0-3 in those games, fell to four games under .500 for the season and is
a staggering 6-12 at home.Weve got to win, Wade said. Its simple as that.Oladipo
scored 22 points, Tobias Harris had 18 and Channing Frye finished with 13 for
the Magic, who are two games behind Miami now for the No. 8 spot in the Eastern
Conference.We showed some toughness tonight, Magic coach Jacque Vaughn said.For
Miami, Danny Granger had 21 points and Chris Bosh scored 20 in his return after
missing eight games with a strained left calf.Granger was 6 for 7 from 3-point
range, including one that put Miami up 101-97 with 1:38 left. The Heat didnt
score again.Oladipo tied it at 101-101 when he drove by Wade and scored with 45
seconds left. Wade missed a jumper on the next possession, and Oladipo made the
first of two free throws with 6.6 seconds left to give the Magic the lead.Wade
had a good look at the end, but missed.

quarter before the Magic got back on track and set up the back-and-forth final
minutes.Harris scored 11 points in the third, including a 3-pointer with 1.8
seconds left in the quarter to cap a nine-point, 80-second run for the Magic
that tied the game at 77-77 entering the fourth.That was a really fast run in
less than two minutes, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. But thats
competition.___TIP-INSMagic: Vucevic has reached double-digits in scoring in all
28 of his games this season. ... Orlando played its 21st road game — the most so
far in the NBA. The Magic have played the second-fewest home games, just 13 to
date. Their next three are all at home. ... Orlando scored the first seven
points of the game, then allowed the first seven of the second half.Heat: Wades
first field goal was his 4,000th (including post-season) at AmericanAirlines
Arena, more than any other two players combined. ... The Heat finished their
seven-game homestand 2-5. ... C Hassan Whiteside scored eight points, notable
because it matched the third-most in Heat history for someone taking no more
than one field-goal attempt. He was 1 for 1 from the field, 6 for 11 from the
line. ... With Bosh and Chris Andersen starting, it was Miamis 14th lineup of
the season, in 32 games.WHAT DISPARITYOrlando won despite shooting only 13 free
throws. Miami shot 40.BREAKTHROUGH WINVucevic had played Miami 10 previous
times, never emerging with a win despite some big numbers. He averages 19.9
points and 14.2 rebounds now in his last eight games against the Heat.UP
