Nathan Cirillo and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent.The Senators were hoping to give the sellout crowd of 19,266 something to celebrate after the emotional week, but fell just short as Jagr scored at 3:39 of overtime with the man advantage.I was hoping to score 4-on-3, said Jagr. It was a great opportunity because we had a whole two minutes 4-on-3 and with the players weve got we should be able to score. It was a great opportunity for us.The Devils, who were coming off a 3-2 shootout loss to Dallas on Friday night, were relieved not to have to go to a shootout.

The loss snapped the Senators four-game winning streak.The Senators hadnt played since last Saturday as the game scheduled against the Leafs this past Wednesday was postponed due to the tragedies in Ottawa.Trailing 2-1, Ottawa tied the game on Ryans power-play goal midway through the third, but were unable to complete the comeback.You cant fault the effort, it was there, said Ryan. I thought we took over the game in the third for a bit and for large portions of it.The Devils, who had a slow start to the game, came out with a better effort in the second and as such held a 2-1 lead.Ottawa scored first as Chiasson took a pass down low and beat Schneider high stick side at the ten-minute mark, but the Devils tied it less than two minutes later on Seversons unassisted goal.Severson took advantage of an Ottawa turnover along the boards at centre ice and came down to beat Lehner high over the shoulder.Losing two games in a shootout isnt fun, obviously you want to win those games, said Severson, a Manitoba native who was playing his first game in Canada. We knew we would come in here and face a tough test, but going into overtime we were real confident we could pull out the two points and we did.New Jersey took the lead on Zidlickys power-play goal from the point.The game remained scoreless after the first period despite a couple of good chances by both teams.Michalek, who continues to look for his first goal, had a great chance at the side of the net, but just couldnt bang it in.The Devils put three solid shots together, but couldnt get anything past Lehner.Lehner said the Senators first period was probably one of its best this season.Our first period we played fantastic defensively, Lehner said. They took over a little bit in the second and they capitalized on our mistakes a little bit and we had a great third again and didnt give up. I thought we gave ourselves a really good chance of winning the game.NOTES: The Senators were without Marc Methot (back, indefinite).

He just doesnt want to waste his time dealing with the negotiations that could keep him with the Chiefs beyond next season. "My agent and representatives handle all that," Smith said. "Thats why you hire them." Smith did confirm that his agent, Tom Condon, has been talking with the Chiefs about a new deal. Smith is due to make $7.5 million in the final year of a contract he signed in 2012, when he was still a member of the San Francisco 49ers. "I have no date as far as expectation (of getting a deal done)," Smith said on the first day of the off-season program. "I still have a year on my contract, so for me, no, I dont have any expectations. I dont know when itll get done." Chiefs general manager John Dorsey and coach Andy Reid have both expressed their desire to keep Smith in Kansas City. Smith completed 66 per cent of his passes with a career-best 23 touchdowns and only seven interceptions while leading a team that had been 2-14 the year before his arrival to an 11-5 mark and a spot in the playoffs. Kansas City lost to Indianapolis in the first round. "Ive played long enough, going into Year 10 now, its all year to year in my mind anyway," Smith said. "At this point, you have to continually prove yourself, so I dont think it changes anything as far as my mindsset or my approach to the game at all. Cheap Nike Shoes Free Shipping. " The Chiefs traded what turned out to be a second-round pick last season and their second-rounder this season to San Francisco to acquire Smith. That leaves them with only one pick in the first 86, and could make it difficult to surround their quarterback with help. Theyve already lost left tackle Branden Albert and both of their right guards, Jon Asamoah and Geoff Schwartz, during free agency. They have also struggled to find a complementary wide receiver for Dwayne Bowe, and could select a wide receiver with their first-round pick. Smith said he doesnt worry about any of it. "I knew some of that was to be expected. Its tough. Those were all good players," he said. "I knew we werent going to keep everybody. Thats part of the deal." Along with turning his focus toward next season, Smith is also working on a commencement address that he will deliver May 1 at Utah. He was approached a while back by the presidents office at his alma mater, though he wasnt sure how far down he was on the pecking order. "Humbled to give it. Its kind of sitting in the back of my mind this entire off-season, knowing I have to give this speech," he said. Asked if there was a theme, he glibly replied: "Yeah, they should work really hard on running fast and throwing the ball far." ' ' '
