OTTAWA -- As good-luck charms go, fibreglass shrapnel isnt high on most hockey players lists. But it seemed to do the trick for Colin Greening, whose double-overtime heroics lifted the Ottawa Senators to a 2-1 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday in Game 3 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series. Greening needed six stitches to close a gash on his left cheek after taking a wayward stick to the face early in the game. The euphoria of his goal was still settling in even as the Senators medical staff were picking tiny bits of fibreglass out of his face. "You get a lot of adrenaline going through your body, but they were just small pieces," Greening said. "Like I said, the big pieces were all taken out." Greening scored 7:39 into double overtime to salvage a game for the Senators that looked to be going the other way with just seconds left on the clock in the third period. Pittsburgh still leads the series 2-1, with Game 4 in Ottawa on Wednesday. Tyler Kennedy scored with just over a minute to play in the second period to give the Penguins a 1-0 lead. It looked as though Pittsburgh would hold onto their lead when Senators defenceman Erik Karlsson took a slashing penalty with less than two minutes remaining in regulation time. But Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson brought the sellout crowd to its feet with a short-handed goal with 28 seconds left to send the game into extra time. "It looked like they had it wrapped up, and we were able to get a big goal shorthanded to get into overtime, and then both teams had their chances before we got the winner," Alfredsson said. Both teams had good scoring chances in the extra periods. Perhaps the best chance came when a Pittsburgh shot grazed the outstretched pad of Senators goaltender Craig Anderson and ricocheted off the post to nearly end the game in the first period of overtime. Anderson was on his game, stopping 49 shots Sunday night after being pulled in Game 2. He robbed Penguins captain Sidney Crosby early in the second period and then moments later stopped a hard shot by Evgeni Malkin, who smashed his stick against the ice in frustration. He again stymied Malkin with a sprawling save in the first overtime. Andersons extra-time heroics brought the crowd of 20,500 to its feet with chants of "Andy! Andy!" "You dont know what kind of bounces youre going to get. You just got to find a way to just keep getting pucks to the net and hope for some lucky bounces," Anderson said. "I had some luck my way with a couple of posts they hit, but you know, sometimes youve got to be lucky to be good." At the other end of the ice, the Senators struggled to get the puck past Penguins netminder Tomas Vokoun, who stopped 46 shots. All eyes were on Spezza as he made his return to the Senators lineup for the first time since Jan. 27, after undergoing back surgery to repair a herniated disc. The sellout crowd chanted the 29-year-olds name during his first shift. He lined up alongside Milan Michalek and Cory Conacher. He faced a familiar opponent. Spezzas last game before going under the knife was at home against the Penguins, when he got one assist and logged 21 minutes of ice time. In his first game back, Spezza was slow to backcheck but he did manage to generate a few scoring chances and made some nice passes. His back was put to the test in overtime when Penguins forward Craig Adams delivered a bone-crunching hit along the boards. Spezza shook off the hit and seemed none the worse for wear. "I popped up as quick as possible and tried to get to the bench," Spezza said. "I was just trying to get the puck out and was in a vulnerable position, and he picked me a little clean there." The win means the Senators remain undefeated on home ice during this years playoffs. Cheap Air Max Authentic .

Cheap Nike Air Max 2019 . -- Brandon Jennings made the most of his first game with the Detroit Pistons on Sunday night. CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Panthers quarterback Cam Newton was a full participant in practice Thursday, another indicator the leagues reigning MVP will likely play Sunday against the New Orleans Saints.Coach Ron Rivera said that while Newton remains in the NFLs concussion protocol, its a positive sign that he was able to practice fully. Rivera said he doesnt know when Newtons next meeting with neurologists will be -- or when he might be cleared to play.This is just the next step and its all about how he reacts to everything, Rivera said.Newton declined interview requests on Thursday.Running back Jonathan Stewart, who has missed the last three games with a hamstring injury, also practiced for the second straight day and said he plans to play against the Saints. Left tackle Michael Oher (concussion), cornerback James Bradberry (toe) and defensive tackles Vernon Butler (ankle) and Paul Soliai (foot) did not practice are Rivera indicated they likely will not play.Panthers offensive coordinator Mike Shula said he doesnt anticipate putting any restrictions on the quarterbacks ability to run during the game if he is cleared to play Sunday.The 6-foot-5, 245-pound Newton has run for more touchdowns than any QB in NFL history.Thats his game, Shula said of Newtons ability to run. We will look at him and talk about it, but part of his game and what makes him so good is that. So if hes cleared, well then...Added Rivera: The quarterback is going to play the game the way he plays the game. That is one thing about Cam Newton. We can call the play and he can drop back and take off and run. So we are going to play our offense accordingly.Newton missed Monday nights game against the Taampa Bay Buccaneers after suffering a concussion in a loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Oct.dddddddddddd2.Newton has struggled this season, but playing New Orleans could prove to be a perfect elixir. He has thrown 10 touchdown passes and one interception in his last three games against the Saints.Some of Newtons teammates have complained in the past about him taking too many illegal hits from defenders and that officials dont treat him the same as other quarterbacks in the league.Saints coach Sean Payton believes it is tougher to make calls when it comes to Newton.There are some quarterbacks in this league that move and scramble and look to run, Payton said. One of the things Cam has done is, you see him move for a big play still. In other words, hes still looking down the field because hes got that arm strength in any direction to be running and hit a receiver deeper than most quarterbacks. Hes got rare talent that way. ... He certainly is a threat as a runner but what keeps you awake at night is what he does on third down and in the red area and in the pocket. His arm strength and arm talent, all those things, those are the things that really keep you concerned.Panthers middle linebacker Luke Kuechly said its just good having the excitable Newton back on the field.Cam brings a lot of energy and it is fun to have him out there, Kuechly said. You know when hes out there and when hes not out there.---AP Sports Writer Brett Martel in New Orleans contributed to this report.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
