(SportsNetwork. Zeke Bratkowski Jersey .com) - The struggling Ottawa Senators will try to get back on track when they welcome the Detroit Red Wings for Tuesdays clash at Canadian Tire Centre. Ottawa opened the season with a 4-1-0 record, but has posted only one victory over its last five outings, going 1-2-2 during the stretch. Coincidentally, the downturn has come directly after the Senators had a home game with Toronto postponed on Oct. 22 due to the shooting death of a Canadian solider in downtown Ottawa. The Sens hope to right the ship on home ice, where they have yet to lose in regulation this season. Ottawa is 2-0-2 as the host and is kicking off a four- game homestand tonight. The residency ends on Nov. 9 with the rescheduled meeting against Toronto. However, Tuesdays contest may not offer the best opportunity for Ottawa to bounce back after two consecutive losses. The Sens have dropped six of their last eight meetings against Detroit and the Red Wings have claimed four straight in Canadas capital city. After getting dealt a shootout loss by visiting Chicago on Thursday, Ottawa hit the road and lost a 4-2 decision Saturday in Boston. The score was tied at 1-1 after 20 minutes but Matt Fraser scored twice in the second period to put the Bruins ahead for good. Mark Stone and Mika Zibanejad both lit the lamp in the loss, and Robin Lehner made 26 saves for the Senators. There were stretches of the game that I thought we played well, said Stone. We werent structurally sound tonight. The Red Wings also hope to rebound from a loss tonight, having dropped a 3-2 shootout decision Sunday in Buffalo. Zemgus Girgensons scored the winner in the decisive phase to halt Detroits two-game winning streak. In the third round, Girgensons deked back to the forehand and lifted the puck into the left corner of the net. Michal Neuvirth preserved the win by not biting on Henrik Zetterbergs fake and making the stop. Pavel Datsyuk had a goal and an assist and Tomas Tatar also lit the lamp for the Red Wings. Jimmy Howard finished the contest with 19 stops. Detroit fired 38 shots on net in the loss, which came at the start of a three- game road trip. Its not like we did everything terrible, said Red Wings coach Mike Babcock. When a team plays the night before you should jump all over them. Datsyuk has been on a tear so far this season, posting a point in all six of his games after missing the start of 2014-15 with a separated shoulder. He has five goals and five assists and was named the NHLs Second Star of the Week on Monday. Craig Anderson will get the start in net for Ottawa. He is 3-5-0 with a 2.91 goals against average in his career versus Detroit. Howard will start for the Red Wings and he is 3-2-0 with a 3.78 GAA against the Senators. Jim McMahon Jersey .

Both the top-seeded Djokovic and sixth-seeded Fish took relatively easy paths, with the Serb winning when opponent Jo-Wilfried Tsonga retired in the second set with a sore arm and Fish dominating Janko Tipsarevic in two quick sets.NEW ORLEANS - The New Orleans Pelicans and Louisiana-based Smoothie King have reached a 10-year agreement to rename the New Orleans Arena as the Smoothie King Center. Pelicans President Dennis Lauscha said such a deal had been a "gigantic" piece of owner Tom Bensons business plan since he bought the long-struggling small-market franchise from the NBA in the spring of 2012. "Finding a naming rights partner was key to the long-term financial viability of this franchise in this market," Lauscha said. Benson, who has owned the Saints since 1985, purchased citys NBA franchise — formerly called the Hornets — for $338 million and has consolidated the headquarters and many of the business operations of both clubs. The hope was that with the two franchises sharing resources and cross-promoting one another, the region could better support two major professional sports teams. Officials with both the club and Smoothie King declined to release financial terms of the deal, which also gives Smoothie King an option for a 10-year extension. Smoothie King owner Wan Kim said sponsoring an NBA arena in New Orleans helps his company demonstrate its commitment to the community where it is based while promoting its brand globally. Smoothie King, founded in suburban New Orleans in 1973, has 674 locations in 31 states and in Asia, and is looking to expand both nationally and overseas, Smoothie King President Tom OKeefe said. Of 30 NBA cities, 21 currently have Smoothie King franchises, he said. The arena is officially being renamed on Thursday, in time for next weeks NBA All-Star festivities in New Orleans. Kim, a native of South Korea who attended college and business school in the United States, bought the company in July 2012. He said he initially considered moving its headquarters to Atlantta or Dallas. Jay Hilgenberg Jersey. "I started to realize a lot of people who live in New Orleans, for them, its very difficult to leave the city," Kim said. "Its a very different city. Its very unique, culturally, and I did start to see why people didnt want to move. "At the same time, I did feel our root is here and I shouldnt give up on that," Kim said. "Not only did we decide not to move out, but we are pretty much telling you (with the naming rights deal) that our group is here and we are sticking with it." As part of the agreement, Smoothie King will be airing commercials during Pelicans broadcasts, as well as sponsoring pregame and postgame segments. The companys smoothies will also be available at concession stands around the arena. Team officials said there were "two or three" other candidates for a naming rights deal, but that Smoothie Kings interests seemed most aligned with the Bensons goals of promoting the business climate in his home state. "Theres no more perfect story to say how businesses can root themselves in New Orleans and grow," said Rita Benson LeBlanc, Bensons granddaughter and a part owner of the Pelicans and Saints. She added that the agreement is "a testament to how New Orleans has recovered (from Hurricane Katrina) and how Louisiana is redefining itself as an economic development engine." The deal might have been completed before this season began, but because Smoothie King products contain nutritional supplements, NBA rules required that all of the companys products be tested to ensure there were no banned substances. LeBlanc said that process took about eight months. "We couldnt have any question as to what are the contents of the products that Smoothie King actually offers," LeBlanc said. ' ' '
