OTTAWA -- Theres nothing like beating the defending Stanley Cup champions to gain a little confidence. Craig Anderson stopped 46 shots in his first game back since being injured Mar. 10 as the Ottawa Senators beat the visiting Chicago Blackhawks 5-3 on Friday. "We found a way to win and thats all that really matters," said Anderson. "It felt good to come back from my whatever injury. Got back in there, get back in the saddle and it was good to see a lot of shots so you didnt have time to think and you just kind of read and react so it was really good." Clarke MacArthur had a goal and two assists to lead the charge while Erik Condra, Cody Ceci, Milan Michalek and Kyle Turris each scored for the Senators (30-29-14) Patrick Sharp, Marian Hossa and Brent Seabrook scored for Chicago (42-18-15). Antti Raanta faced 29 shots. Chicago has lost three of its last four outings and captain Jonathan Toews says there are too many mistakes happening when his team has possession of the puck. "Id say there was some good moments where we did have control of the puck where we were getting point shots and second efforts and some of the things were looking for when were playing good hockey," said Toews. "Other than that it was sloppy turnovers, sloppy mistakes that we really need to get out of our system. We need to get those plays out of our game. Its as simple as that. We need to play some character hockey. Frustrating way to lose." Toews wasnt alone in thinking the Blackhawks failed to show their best effort. "I didnt like our game," said Chicago head coach Joel Quenneville. "We had a good start and obviously giving up a shorthanded (goal) right off the bat they got some momentum off it and played well." Ottawa scored twice in the third and killed off a 34 second two-man advantage to hold off the Blackhawks before a crowd of 18,922 at the Canadian Tire Centre. Turris made it 4-2 with a power-play goal at the six-minute mark of the third and MacArthur scored his 23rd of the season midway through the period to make it 5-2. "I thought we competed better," said MacArthur. "We had a little lapse in the second, but youre playing Chicago and theyre going to make a push, but we were able to make plays in the third and not clam up." Frustration started to set in for Chicago midway through the third when Andrew Shaw speared Zack Smith. Shaw was assessed a major and game misconduct for his actions. After the game Smith admitted he was less than impressed by the play. "A spear is always looked upon as pretty bad for someone to do," said Smith. "Its kind of a cheap shot, especially where he was aiming, but you saw the replay." The Blackhawks made it 5-3 with a shorthanded goal at the 17-minute mark as Seabrooks shot from the point just trickled across the goal-line. Ottawa jumped out to a 3-0 lead, but by the end of the second it was a one-goal game. The Senators were outshot 23-5 in the middle period. Chicago got on the board midway through the second with a power-play goal as Sharp took a great pass from Jonathan Toews and tipped it past Anderson. Hossa made it 3-2 when he scored with 41 seconds remaining in the second period. Hossa intercepted a pass at the Ottawa blue-line, cut through two defencemen and squeezed the puck past Anderson. Ottawa had made it 3-0 just 23 seconds into the second as Michalek tipped in a shot off a pass from Spezza. "I thought we had a little more confidence," added MacArthur. "I thought overall we had a little lapse and those are going to happen, but we answered back in the third which is big and I thought our (defencemen) moved the puck a lot better, especially in the third when we were under pressure." The Senators held a 2-0 lead after the first 20 minutes. Condra made it 1-0, scoring shorthanded midway through the first. And Ceci made it 2-0 in the final minute of the period as he scored from just inside the blue line. Notes: The Senators were without D Chris Phillips who missed his second straight game and RW Bobby Ryan (sports hernia, out for season). LW Matt Kassian was a healthy scratcha The Blackhawks are without RW Patrick Kane (lower body, two weeks), LW Bryan Bickell (upper body, day-to-day) and D Michal Rozsival (lower body, day-to-day). D David Rundblad, LW Jeremy Morin and LW Teuvo Teravainen were a healthy scratch. LW Matt Carey made his NHL debut.

Ryu set the course record in her first round, held a four-stroke advantage going into Sunday and led by six going into the back nine. A bogey on No. 15 and Na Yeon Chois birdie shrunk the lead to one. I thought, Everybodys nervous and Na Yeons nervous, definitely, so I just accepted my nervousness so I just tried to enjoy it, Ryu said. And I hit a great shot. Ryus birdie on the 16th hole Sunday restored her lead to two as she wrapped up her first victory in more than two years by capturing the US$2.25-million Canadian Pacific Womens Open with a 23-under 265. The 24-year-old South Korean shattered the tournament record of 18 under but couldnt break Annika Sorenstams LPGA Tour record of 27 under. Im a bit disappointed I couldnt reach Annikas record, but it still feels good, Ryu said minutes after getting soaked in champagne by friends Inbee Park and I.K. Kim. Ive been waiting so much (for) the champagne. I was ready to get champagne. I smell like champagne right now, but Im still so happy. Ryus last win came at the Jamie Farr Toledo Classic in 2012. Since then, she put up 27 top-10 finishes and conceded blowing more than a few chances. One of my friends asked me, So Yeon, do you want to finish top 10 every tournament or you just want to win one tournament and miss the cut every tournament? Ryu said. I said its a really hard question, but at this stage I really need to win. In earning the winners share -- $337,500 -- of the purse at London Hunt and Country Club, Ryu became the tournaments first wire-to-wire champion since Michelle Wie in 2010. Ryu set a course record with a 9-under 63 Thursday and never fell from the top of the leaderboard. Along the way, Ryu was remarkably consistent, finishing with 26 birdies and just three bogeys. Two of them, though, almost ruined her week. With a six-stroke lead after nine holes, Ryu felt confident she could win, but a bogey on No. 10 and a birdie by Choi on 11 got her thinking. Another two-stroke swing on No. 15 gave Choi hope. When she misses that putt, I thought, Maybe I could have a chance, too, Choi said.dddddddddddd Choi, who shot a bogey-free 67 to get to a career-best 21 under, went into the bunker on No. 16. Ryu watched with relief as her friend missed a putt before she sank a birdie and went on to win by two strokes. Park, like Ryu and Choi part of South Koreas International Crown team, finished third at 18 under after winning last weeks LPGA Championship. Spains Azahara Munoz, who tied Ryus course record Saturday, was fourth at 17 under. Brooke Henderson of Smith Falls, Ont., shot a 74 Sunday to finish as the low Canadian and low amateur at 2-under 286, two strokes better than Calgarys Jennifer Ha. Jennifer Kirby of Paris, Ont., shot a 76 to drop to 3 over, and Sue Kim of Langley, B.C., shot a 78 to drop to 7 over. Henderson, who received medals to commemorate being the low Canadian and low amateur, said of Ryus prize: I look forward to being able to hold up this trophy some day. It was Ryus to enjoy Sunday night after holding off Choi, who herself hasnt won since the 2012 U.S. Womens Open. But the 26-year-old couldnt feel bad about her performance given Ryus. Sometimes I finish runner-up and sometimes I have a lot of regrets, but this week not really, Choi said. Shes playing well, so I cant control her score. Ryu set a goal of seven birdies so she could at least tie Sorenstams record. She wanted eight so that she could break it. When that was out of reach, she was more than happy to have a long-awaited victory to fall back on. I had quite a lot of experience, especially failed experience, Ryu said. I think that experience helped me a lot. ... Ive been waiting so much. I really want to hug myself. Notes -- Karrie Webb put up the third ace of the tournament with a hole-in-one on No. 2 Sunday. ... With each birdie at the 17th hole worth $5,000, title sponsor Canadian Pacific donated $350,000 to the London-based Childrens Health Foundation for pediatric heart care. ... Next years tournament will take place at the Vancouver Golf Club, which last hosted in 2012. ' ' '
