HKN-RANGERS-SENATORS
Senators top Rangers in shootout 3-2
OTTAWA (AP) -- Kaspars Daugavins scored in the seventh round of the shootout and backup goalie Ben Bishop picked up the victory in relief of injured starter Craig Anderson and the Ottawa Senators defeated the New York Rangers 3-2 on Thursday.
The Senators lost Anderson at 1:43 of the third period after Rangers forward Chris Kreider was tripped in front and slid into him.
No penalty was called on the play and Anderson had to be helped to the locker room.
The team said that the 31-year-old Anderson, who leads the league with a 1.57 goals-against average and .950 save percentage, has a sprained right ankle and is listed day to day.
The Senators are also dealing with injuries to defenseman Erik Karlsson (Achilles) and center Jason Spezza (back).
Daugavins appeared to mishit his winning shootout attempt that beat Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist between the legs. Kreider then needed to score to keep the game going, but he couldn't beat Bishop.
HKN-ISLANDERS-CANADIENS
Hickey's OT goal lifts Isles over Canadiens 4-3
MONTREAL (AP) -- Rookie defenseman Thomas Hickey scored in overtime for his first NHL goal, and the New York Islanders rallied to snap the Montreal Canadiens' five-game winning streak, 4-3 on Thursday night.
Matt Moulson scored twice and Frans Nielsen added a goal in the third period for Islanders (7-9-1), who trailed 2-0 and 3-1 but came back to end a two-game slide and win for the third time in 10 games.
Max Pacioretty had two goals, and Travis Moen added one for the Canadiens (11-5-2).
After going his first 10 games without a goal, Pacioretty has four in three games.
HKN-DEVILS-CAPITALS
Kovalchuk, Elias lead Devils past Capitals 3-2
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Ilya Kovalchuk scored the tiebreaking goal on a 5-on-3 power play with about 8? minutes left to complete the New Jersey Devils' 3-2 comeback victory Thursday night over the Washington Capitals, who have yet to beat any of the Eastern Conference's elite teams.
Washington led 2-1 entering the third period, thanks to power-play goals by Mathieu Perrault and Mike Ribeiro.
Andrei Loktionov made it 2-all midway through the last period, and Kovalchuk dropped to a knee as he let the puck fly to put New Jersey ahead for the first time off Patrik Elias' assist. Elias had scored a short-handed goal in the second period.
The East-worst Capitals dropped to 0-7-1 against the conference's top six teams. They will get another chance Saturday when they host New Jersey again.
HKN-SABRES-MAPLE-LEAFS
Sabres fall to Leafs in Rolston's debut as coach
TORONTO (AP) -- James van Riemsdyk scored two goals to lead the Toronto Maple Leafs past the Buffalo Sabres 3-1 on Thursday, spoiling the NHL head coaching debut of Ron Rolston.
Rolston, who until Wednesday was the head coach of the AHL's Rochester Americans, was hired as the Sabres interim coach following the club's decision to fire Lindy Ruff. Ruff, who also played 10 seasons for Buffalo, had been behind the club's bench since 1997 and was the NHL's longest-tenured head coach.
But the Sabres, who have dropped three straight and five of six, were booed off the ice following Tuesday's loss to Winnipeg.
Van Riemsdyk's power-play goal at 14:28 of the third -- his team-leading 11th -- gave Toronto breathing room after Buffalo goalie Ryan Miller stopped Van Riemsdyk with a fabulous glove save earlier on the power play.
Dion Phaneuf also scored Toronto, which won its third straight home game. Ben Scrivens stopped 31 shots for his third win in five starts since James Reimer's knee injury Feb. 11.
Tyler Ennis scored for Buffalo.
KNICKS MOVES
Knicks trade Brewer to Thunder for pick
NEW YORK (AP) -- The New York Knicks have traded swingman Ronnie Brewer to the Oklahoma City Thunder for a 2014 second-round pick and cash.
Brewer was a starter earlier this season who lost his starting spot -- and eventually his place in the rotation entirely -- after a shooting slump.
Brewer appeared in 46 games, making 34 starts, and averaged 3.6 points and 2.2 rebounds. Signed by New York last summer, he has also played for Utah, Chicago and Memphis.
YANKEES-OUTFIELD
Granderson, Gardner may switch outfield spots
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Yankees outfielders Curtis Granderson and Brett Gardner could be switching positions.
Granderson worked out in left field Thursday and the speedy Gardner switched to center.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi plans to play the pair together in upcoming spring training games.
Says Girardi: "I think it has a chance to help us a little bit, but I'm not really sure. ... That's why I've said from the beginning that I'm going to toy with it."
NATIONALS-YOUNG
Nationals agree to terms with RHP Chris Young
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Washington Nationals have agreed to terms with right-handed pitcher Chris Young on a minor-league contract with an invitation to major league spring training.
Young is 53-43 with a 3.79 ERA in 159 career starts with the New York Mets, San Diego Padres and Texas Rangers. The 33-year-old Young was an All-Star with the Padres in 2007.
Young went 4-9 with a 4.15 ERA in 20 starts last season with the Mets.
The Nationals announced the deal Thursday.
MLB DRUG INVESTIGATION-WEINER
Weiner says media shouldn't jump to conclusions
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) -- Baseball union head Michael Weiner says reporters should refrain from jumping to conclusions about media reports linking players to a Florida anti-aging clinic accused of distributing banned performance-enhancing drugs.
Starting his annual tour of the 30 spring training camps, Weiner cautioned Thursday that Major League Baseball is still investigating Biogenesis of America, a defunct anti-aging clinic in Coral Gables, Fla.
After his one-hour session with the Mets, Weiner also discussed the agreement with management last month to extend blood testing for human growth hormone into the regular season. HGH testing began last year but was limited to spring training.
As part of the changes to the joint drug agreement, the World Anti-Doping Agency laboratory in Laval, Quebec, will keep records of each player, including his baseline ratio of testosterone to epitestosterone.
NFL COMBINE-JETS
New Jets GM says he wants Revis to stay
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- The New York Jets want to make one thing perfectly clear: They want Darrelle Revis to stay with the team.
At the NFL's annual scouting combine Thursday, new general manager John Idzik spent the first eight minutes of his news conference addressing Revis questions. He says nothing has changed and the Jets still want him.
The comments come almost a month after Idzik said he called Revis to end rumors that he might be traded.
Coach Rex Ryan says he has told Revis to ignore the speculation, calling the reports "not accurate."
Revis missed most of last season with a knee injury and is still considered one of the league's top cover cornerbacks.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Freud's Notebook led all the way Thursday, confidently holding off 2-5 favorite Schillerette by 1? lengths in the $57,820 allowance feature for New York-bred fillies and mares at Aqueduct.
Cornelio Velasquez was aboard for trainer Mitchell Friedman as the 6-year-old posted her seventh win in 39 starts. The time was 1:44.50 for the one mile, 70 yards.
Freud's Notebook paid $8.60, $3.20 and $2.40 as the 3-1 second choice. Schillerette returned $2.10 and $2.10 while Erin Enchanted paid $2.40 to show.
