Senators are in 12th in the Eastern Conference four points behind the Columbus

Arcadia, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Breeders Cup Juvenile winner Texas Red begins his 3-year-old season Sunday in the $200,000 San Vicente Stakes at Santa Anita Park. Texas Red, trained by Keith Desormeaux and ridden by the trainers brother Kent, will start the seven-furlong race from post 4 in the eight-horse field. Co-owned by his trainer, Texas Red won the Juvenile on Nov. 1 by 6 1/2 lengths as a 13-1 longshot, just his second win in five starts. The son of Afleet Alex has earned $1,192,300. Keith Desormeaux has plans to bring the colt along quickly leading to the Kentucky Derby on May 2. Im thinking about wheeling him back pretty quickly in the Risen Star on (Feb. 21) and then well have a little gap between the Risen Star and the $1,000,000 Santa Anita Derby (on Apr. 4), the trainer said. Its still on schedule. Its always been kind of a tentative schedule, like with all things concerning racehorses, Desormeaux continued. It seems like the best plan for me at this point. Its kind of quick, but I like the way it feels. If I can get him (to Fair Grounds) a week early, that would be perfect. Ill be at the mercy of whoever is going to fly us and their schedule. For him to overcome the fact that hes not really built to be an early horse - thats what makes him great and thats also what makes us so excited about this year. If he can do what he did as a juvenile, what can he accomplish as a 3-year-old? Here is the field for the San Vicente in post position order: Lord Nelson, Rafael Bejarano; Serbian Syclone, Elvis Trujillo; Jazzy Josh, Flavien Prat; Texas Red, Kent Desormeaux; Punctuate, Martin Garcia; Magic Taste, Omar Santos; Bench Warrant, Tyler Baze and Sir Samson, Joe Talamo. Post time for the 74th San Vicente is approximately 4:30 p.m. ET. Kyzir White Chargers Jersey .

Ales Hemsky scored the only goal of the shootout Monday night as the Senators earned a huge 2-1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes. Hemsky moved in and fired a shot off the post and into the back of the net behind goaltender Cam Ward to give the Senators their third straight win, and fourth in their past fifth games. They have nine points over that stretch. As it stands now, the Senators are in 12th in the Eastern Conference four points behind the Columbus Blue Jackets, who currently possess the second wild-card berth with 82 points. The Hurricanes are seven back. "All Im doing is going game-by-game still. We won today, now we have to get ready for Wednesday and again well see where we are at (in) 82 games," said Senators coach Paul MacLean. Craig Anderson stopped all three Carolina shooters, including Elias Lindholm with the final shot to earn the victory. Mika Zibanejad scored in regulation for the Senators (32-29-14) while Anderson made 30 saves. Jeff Skinner had the Carolina goal while Ward backstopped the Hurricanes (32-32-11) through regulation with 28 saves. Coincidental minor penalties in overtime meant the teams played two minutes of three-on-three hockey. Kyle Turris had the best opportunity for the Senators during that span but his shot went over the net. Alex Semin had Anderson beat on a two-on-one but his backhand went wide. "Structure wise we werent really sure what to do, but you need guys that are creative and are able to beat guys one-on-one because thats what it comes down to," Senators defenceman Marc Methot said of the rare three-on-three. "The guys handled it well." There was very little in the way of scoring opportunities through most of the third period. That changed in the final few minutes as both teams started to apply pressure as neither wanted the other to claim a bonus point in the tight playoff race. "There were definitely opportunities and a little spark at the end. The fans started getting into it knowing the pressure of the last five minutes and that any mistake could be in the back of the net," said Hurricanes forward Jordan Staal. "It raised the intensity of the game for sure.&" The way the first period started it seemed as though the goaltenders were going to have nightmares even before they went to bed.dddddddddddd The score was tied 1-1 before the five-minute mark and the non-defensive style was allowing for several opportunities on both sides. Zibanejad opened the scoring at 1:41 of the first period when he deflected a Patrick Wiercioch point shot past Ward. The play was reviewed but quickly announced that the call on the ice stood and it was in fact a goal. "Youve got to look at it as a lucky break on their side, and just get ready for the next shot," Ward said of the goal. "The puck was bouncing a little more than I would have liked, but other than that we gave our team a chance to win. Unfortunately, it doesnt feel good to lose in a shootout." Zibanejad continues to improve on his career-high numbers as he now has 14 goals and 29 points in 64 games. "Lately weve been taking it one game at a time. Its cliche but we are. And were doing whatever we can to make sure we get the points," said Zibanejad. "The pressure is not on us, the pressure is on the teams above us and by winning were putting more pressure on them." It wasnt all good news for the Senators though as Erik Karlsson gave the puck away behind his own goal and then was the last player to touch it before it went into the back of the Ottawa goal behind Anderson. Karlsson tried to sweep the puck around the boards behind the net but fanned on his attempt, giving skinner possession of the puck behind the goal. He danced from side-to-side before banking the puck off Karlsson and in to tie the game at the 4:03 mark.
