CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing will field a second IndyCar entry for Oriol Servia this season in at least four races, more if sponsorship can be secured. Servia is currently scheduled to compete at Long Beach, Barber, the inaugural road course race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Indianapolis 500 in a deal announced Wednesday. The Rahal organization last month finished a drawn-out process to secure sponsorship from the National Guard for Graham Rahals car. Team owner Bobby Rahal has insisted he would only field two cars if it would strengthen the organization, and Graham Rahal said he told his dad he didnt want to "rob Peter to pay Paul" just to have a teammate. But in Servia, the organization gets a veteran driver who was briefly teammates with Graham Rahal at Newman-Haas-Lanigan Racing in 2009. Servia also ran the Indy 500 that season for Bobby Rahal. "We have had the pleasure of working with Oriol before and are looking forward to his return," Bobby Rahal said. "I have always respected his ability to develop the race car and be a productive member of the team, so when it came time to consider the possibility of a second entry, he was right at the top of the list. We are happy to have him back and look forward to having him help the team progress toward the front." A native of Pals, Spain, Servia has made 191 starts in CART, Champ Car and the IndyCar Series since 2000. He won at Montreal in 2005, has 19 career podium finishes and was fourth in the 2012 Indianapolis 500. His Panther DRR team shut down after last years Indy 500, and he ran seven of the final 14 races for Panther Racing. "Continuity is a very important part of success in any racing team," said Servia. "By my moving to Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, this happens at many different levels. On the team side, in 2009 we did the 500 together as a one-off race. We were running very strong until we had a fuel pump fail on us, but that one race left us with a sensation that we could do great things together. That same year I did a short stint at Newman/Haas/Lanigan where my teammate was Graham, and that also started a great chemistry between us that translated to results on track." Servia will participate in the IndyCar Series open test at Barber in two weeks. "There are enough synergies within the team that make me feel positive, that even if we may be starting a little late, we will hit the road running," he said. Nick Young Warriors Jersey .

The Senators will also play five of their next six games on the road — making the challenge of gaining ground in the standings a little more daunting.The seven points arent the issue, said goalie Craig Anderson. The issue is can you beat the other teams when you need to beat them. Its (the four-point games) that matter the most ... can you string some of those together and beat teams that are right ahead of you that youre chasing.The Senators have had some time off since a 5-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres last Monday. Forward Bobby Ryan led the way in that game with a hat trick.Ottawa hopes to build off that performance Saturday afternoon in Boston.Weve outplayed teams and lost, Ryan said. Weve kept pace and lost them, weve outshot them and lost. Now its time to start putting those building blocks together and last game was a step in that direction.The Senators will return home for Sunday nights game against the Tampa Bay Lightning before heading back out on the road for four games.Youve got to win, thats the bottom line, said Anderson. Mentally by getting that first win on the road it takes the pressure off your back to keep pressing and try to get points. If you start a road trip 0-1 then maybe you start chasing the game a little bit. We want to win the game, thats obviously a given, but its the process.If were playing the right way, giving ourselves an opportunity to win the game annd we continue to focus our mindset on the process, the results will take care of themselves.dddddddddddd.The Senators paid particular attention to their power play on Friday. Head coach Dave Cameron had the two power-play units out on the ice before the rest of the team joined the practice session.Cameron is hopeful that the minor changes will make a difference in helping end an 0-for-10 drought with the man advantage.The Senators power play has also been weak on the road. Ottawa has converted just nine of 65 opportunities with the man advantage away from Canadian Tire Centre.I think our power play is a little bit stagnant, said Cameron. Its been doing some good things, but not enough good things so (were) just trying to freshen it up and give different looks.Cameron feels the Senators are getting too many shots blocked, arent around the net enough and dont shoot the puck enough off the pass. The most significant change was moving Ryan up on the flank on his off-side and putting David Legwand in front of the net.In addition, Mike Hoffman was absent from the power-play session. He has 11 goals and seven assists but has yet to pick up a power-play point.Also Friday, the Senators sent defenceman Marc Methot to AHL Binghamton for a conditioning assignment. He has been nursing back and hip problems.Methot is expected to play Saturday against the Syracuse Crunch. It remains unclear how many games hell need to play before returning to Ottawa.My concern is his fitness level, said Cameron. You cant fast forward fitness, but there will be so many factors going into that decision that I have no number. ' ' '
