NEW YORK -- The New York Rangers came up short in their first shot at clinching a playoff berth.
[b]Jose Juan Barea Jersey[/b] . The Ottawa Senators bounced back from a humbling loss and gave their flickering post-season chances a slight spark. When all was said and done Saturday night, the Senators skated off with a 3-2 win at Madison Square Garden that boosted their hopes and delayed any celebration for the host Rangers. "Were just trying to win games," said Senators captain Jason Spezza, whose second-period goal was the winner. "Were trying to build some momentum, win games and play right. "If were winning games, it will be a more enjoyable end of the season." The Senators shook off a 7-4 loss to Montreal on Friday when a 3-0 lead was wiped out by seven straight goals against them. Ottawa is five points behind the second wild card in the Eastern Conference, but the Senators will have to jump over four teams with only four games left to get into the playoffs. "We wanted to have a response just for the morale of the group," Spezza said. "We know its been a disappointing year, we know that we havent reached expectations, but we still have these games left to play so we want to win them." Robin Lehner made 41 saves and held off a furious late push by the Rangers, who still need one point to secure a playoff spot. They could qualify before their next game if New Jersey loses to Calgary on Monday. The Rangers will host Carolina on Tuesday. "We are still in a good spot," defenceman Dan Girardi said. "Its in our hands to get that win in our next game, and hopefully secure home ice in the first round." New York, with three games remaining, would get that if it keeps its hold on second place in the Metropolitan Division over Philadelphia, which lost at Boston on Saturday. The Flyers trail by four points with five games left. The Rangers, back home after a 2-1-1 Western road trip, started slowly and trailed 2-0 in the first period. Mark Stone and Mika Zibanejad put Ottawa in front, and Spezza made it 3-1 in the second. Mats Zuccarello deflected in two goals in the second to bring the Rangers within a goal each time. Henrik Lundqvist made 31 saves. "I hope our mindset is not to clinch. Its about getting the home advantage," Lundqvist said. "Id rather look ahead than behind me." Ottawa grabbed the lead with 7:15 left in the first off a rush. Clarke McArthur made a pass from the left circle to Stone, who gathered the puck on the inside edge of the right circle and snapped a shot past Lundqvist for his third goal of the season and second in seven games. Less than a minute later, Carl Hagelin had two prime scoring chances near the left post, but was denied by Lehner and then again on the rebound. Rick Nash, who recorded seven shots, then had a breakaway chance, but his in-close stuff attempt was stopped by Lehner with 2:48 left in the first. "We won and Im happy," Lehner said. "(My teammates) were helping me with rebounds, and I saw most pucks. They had some good chances, but I think we played better." Ottawa turned the puck right around and made it 2-0 just 11 seconds later. Zack Smith won a faceoff in the Rangers zone back to Zibanejad, who worked his way into the slot and ripped a shot by Lundqvist for his 16th of the season and second in two nights. Martin St. Louis nearly got the Rangers on the board, but he was stopped on a partial breakaway by defenceman Erik Karlsson, less than a minute after Lundqvist sticked away Chris Neils hard drive. Rangers defenceman John Moore, in his second game following a six-game absence caused by a concussion, fired a hard, rising shot from the left point that sailed into traffic, struck Zuccarello and nestled in the net to make it 2-1 at 5:25. Ottawa restored its two-goal lead 3:02 later after the Rangers couldnt gain control of the puck. Karlsson ripped a drive from the centre of the blue line that disappeared in a huddle of bodies in the crease, but was then poked in by Spezza, who wasnt overly impressed by his 20th goal. "Its nice to get but its pretty insignificant, especially in a year where you dont make the playoffs," he said. New York cut its deficit back to a goal with 8:05 remaining in the second. Zuccarello swung the puck behind the net and around the boards to Marc Staal, who took a shot from above the left circle that Zuccarello deflected in for his 19th goal. The Rangers hurt their comeback chances in the final moments when they retaliated for what appeared to be a late hit by Neil on Staal. New York was short-handed for 2 minutes of the final 2:47. NOTES: Ottawa is 4-7-3 in the second of back-to-back games this season. ... Spezza has eight 20-goal seasons in the NHL. ... New York defenceman Ryan McDonagh (shoulder) missed his second straight game.

In Sundays derby, Lazio took the lead in the seventh minute after Maarten Stekelenburg brought down Klose, resulting in the Roma goalkeeper being sent off and a penalty that Hernanes converted.FALL RIVER, Mass. - Ex-New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez lost a bid Friday to have his cellphone and some other evidence thrown out in the murder case against him.After hearing several days of testimony last week, Superior Court Judge E. Susan Garsh ruled to allow Hernandezs personal BlackBerry as evidence. Authorities say he used it to communicate with Odin Lloyd on the night of Lloyds June 2013 killing.The defence had argued the phone was seized under a false claim of legal authority, but Bristol County prosecutors said they had a warrant to seize and search it and Hernandezs lawyers turned it over to law enforcement without objection.The turning over of the phone was a voluntary act. It was not the result of force, threat, trickery, duress or coercion, Garsh wrote in a 22-page decision that declared the warrant valid.The defence also lost a bid to have tossed a rifle and ammunition that police found in a car in Hernandezs garage while executing a search warrant at his North Attleborough home. His attorneys had argued that the rifle and several other items were outside the scope of the warrant. Only a white towel was thrown out.Authorities have said a white towel was found near where Lloyds body was discovered by a jogger.Hernandez has pleaded not guilty in Lloyds killing. The semi-professional football player from Boston was dating the sister of Hernandezs fiancee, Shayanna Jenkins.Also Friday, Garsh ruled against a motion filed by Jenkins attorney to have the perjury case against her dismissed. Prosecutors have said Jenkins lied repeatedly in testimony to the grand jury that indicted Hernandez, including over her disposal of a box authorities say he asked her to retrieve from their basement and get rid of.

The judge rejected Jenkins attorneys argument that the grand jury didnt hear probable cause and that its integrity was impaired in part because prosecutors tried to entrap her.In trying to get Hernandezs BlackBerry thrown out, his lawyers also argued that the ex-player was unlawfully interrogated at his home, including about the phones passcode. In a prior affidavit, Hernandez said that he felt helpless in the face of the occupation of my house by the police and that he worried what would happen to Jenkins and their baby if he didnt answer questions. He had directed police the day before to speak to his lawyers.Garsh said Friday that there was no evidence of any physical control by police over Hernandez and that a reasonable person would have felt free not to respond when asked about the phones passcode and to leave.The defence earlier won a bid to have other pieces of evidence suppressed. Garsh last week threw out bullets found in an apartment in Franklin that was rented by Hernandez and a magazine found in his Hummer. She ruled that police had not adequately demonstrated probable cause in getting a search warrant.The items were the same calibre believed used in Lloyds killing, authorities have said.The district attorneys office did not fight the defences bid to have that evidence thrown out.
