OTTAWA - It was always supposed to be a memorable night in Ottawa — it just turned out differently than expected.On a day when longtime Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson announced his retirement and said his goodbyes to the Ottawa crowd, it was Islanders goaltender Jaroslav Halak who stole the spotlight once the game started.Halak made 20 saves Thursday night, setting a franchise record for consecutive wins as New York defeated the Senators 2-1.Halak, with a 14-4-0 record this season, won his 11 straight game to surpass Billy Smiths 1982 record.Its always nice, but I would say Im not here to chase any records or anything, said Halak. Im here to have fun, play hockey and try to help the guys win the game.Casey Cizikas scored the game winner for the Islanders (19-7-0). Brock Nelson also scored.The Senators (10-10-5) are now winless in their last four games.After one loss youve got some concern, said Ottawas Chris Neil. You want to win as many games as possible, but right now were just finding ways to lose games.Mika Zibanejad scored the lone goal for Ottawa, while Craig Anderson faced 25 shots.Anderson has lost his last five starts for the first time since an eight-game skid from Jan. 21-Feb. 11, 2012.The Senators goaltender was unavailable for comment following the game.Alfredsson, who announced his retirement in the morning, took part in the pre-game warm-up where he bid his final farewell to a soldout crowd of 20,511 at Canadian Tire Centre.I still think the day was what it is and it was a great day, said captain Erik Karlsson. That was the positive of the day and obviously we didnt win the game and thats not fun and thats a separate situation from the other one and I dont think either of them are going to overshadow the other one.Added alternate captain Chris Phillips: Its very disappointing not to win that game with the hype and energy that we had out there.This was the Senators second straight loss to the Islanders this week. New York defeated Ottawa 3-2 in overtime on Tuesday.Halak was instrumental in both games, although the Senators rarely tested him Thursday night with just nine shots through two periods.I think the last two nights (Halak) would be the first to tell you I thought we did a pretty good job, said Islanders coach Jack Capuano. We didnt give him much (to face) through two periods tonight, and the last game we didnt give the opposition too much.To me youve got to stay focused, and hes doing that. Its great to see him break the record and he deserves it.The Islanders took the lead at 13:33 of the third as Thomas Hickey made a cross-ice pass to Cizikas, who beat Anderson with the one-timer.Special teams were the difference in the second period as both teams scored with the man advantage.The Islanders opened the scoring at the 11-minute mark as Nelson took a great pass from Frans Nielsen behind the net to beat Anderson.The Senators made the most of a two-man advantage to tie the game. With Nelson already in the box, Brian Strait took a high-sticking penalty. Erik Karlsson and Zibanejad played give-and-go before Zibanejad rifled a shot through Halaks pads.Both teams failed to score in the first period.Overall we played pretty solid and (Anderson) gave us a chance to win the game, but we just couldnt get the puck in the net, said Karlsson. Thats frustrating sometimes, but at least we played well for most of the 60 minutes and we just have to build off that.Ottawa defenceman Marc Methot played his first game of the season after missing the first 24 games with a lower body injury.I was pretty happy with my game, said Methot. I just kept it simple and I didnt try and do anything too fancy. I think as the games progress Ill get better.The Senators are back in action Saturday as they take on the Pittsburgh Penguins, while the Islanders return home to take on the St. Louis Blues.Notes: The Senators placed D Patrick Wiercioch on injured reserve with a muscle strain. D Jared Cowen, C Colin Greening and C Zack Smith were healthy scratches. The Islanders were without D Travis Hamonic (upper-body) and RW Cal Clutterbuck (lower-body). Both are day-to-day. C Josh Bailey was a healthy scratch. Cheap Panthers Jerseys China . - A Tuesday funeral is planned in Toronto for 20-year-old Saginaw Spirit forward Terry Trafford. Cheap Panthers Jerseys .

Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey was sent off with 10 minutes left in the first leg match in Istanbul after being shown a second yellow card for tugging Oguzhan Ozyakups shirt. "For me its unbelievable to get the second yellow card when you see the kind of fouls they have made today. Its not serious," Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said on Britains ITV television. The London club, which has played in every group stage since the 1998-99 season, still nearly grabbed a late winner when Alex Oxlade-Chamberlains shot was turned onto the post. The highest-scoring match of the night was in Denmark with Leverkusen holding the away goals advantage going into next Wednesdays home leg. The other matches saw Athletic Bilbao draw 1-1 at Napoli, Red Bull Salzburg beat Malmo 2-1 and Steaua Bucharest edge Ludogorets Razgrad 1-0. At the Ataturk Olympic Stadium, a familiar face nearly embarrassed Arsenal from the kickoff. Former Chelsea striker Demba Ba lobbed the ball from the halfway line and it was looping into the top corner until goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny pushed it onto the crossbar. With striker Olivier Giroud lacking cutting edge in front of goal and new signing Alexis Sanchez denied by Tolga Zengins save before halftime, Arsenal rarely looked like repeating its 3-0 victory across Istanbul against Fenerbahce in last years playoff round. Besiktas came closest in the second half when Olcay Sahan curled a shot wide after breaking into the box. Andd, after Ramseys red card, Besiktas coach Slaven Bilic also saw red in a heated conclusion on the touchline.dddddddddddd "Its one of the most physical games we have played in the Champions League," Wenger said. "We had the chance to win the game, but unfortunately we couldnt do it." Next week at the Emirates, although Ramsey will be suspended, Wenger is set to deploy German World Cup-winning trio Mesut Ozil, Per Mertesacker and Lukas Podolski again after their break. "They will be without Ramsey who for me is the top man in the team," Bilic said. "We are still alive and we go to the Emirates with even more confidence ... we have a plan we have a dream." In Copenhagen, Stefan Kiessling took just five minutes to put Leverkusen in front, but the hosts hit back with Mathias Jorgensen nodding in an equalizer from a corner and Daniel Amartey heading them in front in the 13th minute. Parity was restored in the 31st when Karim Bellarabi knocked the ball into the net and Son Heung-min secured Leverkusens valuable away win just before half time after meeting Hakan Calhanoglus throughball. In Austria, goals from Franz Schiemer and Jonatan Soriano looked to have given Salzburg a clear cushion going into the second leg until Emil Forsberg pulled one back for Malmo in the 90th minute. Iker Muniains away goal could also prove decisive for Bilbao even though Gonzalo Higuain ensured Napoli drew 1-1 at home. The only goal of the night in Romania took until the 88th minute to come, with Alexandru Chipciu, who had already missed a penalty, striking into the net this time for Steaua against Ludogorets of Bulgaria.
