OTTAWA, Ontario -- Mark Borowiecki found a unique way to break the tension in a tight game against the New Jersey Devils.Derick Brassard scored the go-ahead goal early in the second period, Mike Condon stopped 29 shots and the Ottawa Senators beat the Devils 3-1 on Saturday night to snap a season-high three-game losing streak.Bobby Ryan scored in the first period and Zack Smith added an empty-netter for the Senators.However, everyone was talking about Borowiecki after the game. For about 30 seconds midway through the third period the Devils controlled the puck in the Ottawa zone while Borowiecki stumbled and fell about five times after losing his skate blade. Referee Tim Peel finally blew the play dead allowing Borowiecki to make his way to the bench and get his skate repaired.It was a very serious moment in the game and (the Devils) were throwing the puck around and then I saw (Borowiecki) fall and I couldnt help but chuckle when he fell on his butt so hard, Condon said. I talked to the ref after and he said `thats not hockey and I had to blow the whistle. Thankfully he blew it down.Borowiecki also had a postgame laugh about the incident and said it was the second pair of skates he broke in the game.My blade holder cracked in half and I lost my steel and when that happens you cant stand up. Its impossible, he said. Im pretty sure I have two bruised hip bones right now from falling so much. You can laugh about it now. (Chris Kelly) said Timmy Peel was so disgusted with me on that shift he just finally blew it down.John Moore scored and Keith Kinkaid finished with 28 saves for the Devils, who have lost five straight.The Senators entered the third period up 2-1 and needed a great save from Condon in the final minute before Smith scored into the empty net with 14 seconds to play.Despite Borowieckis moment of comedic misfortune, Senators coach Guy Boucher thought his club played a textbook third period -- not allowing the Devils to score while holding them to six shots.Winning teams, thats what theyre able to do, Boucher said. I like that twice we took away back doors, which has hurt us lately. I really like that we had a back door, box up mentality.(Cody) Ceci saved one, (Dion) Phaneuf saved one, our forwards were really looking for that back-door guy, so I think we got better. It was a solid, shutdown third period.Ottawa went up 2-1 at 1:14 of the second period when Brassard tipped a shot by Zack Smith past Kinkaid. That goal was changed after originally being credited to Smith.The Devils nearly tied the game a few minutes later when Taylor Hall beat Condon with a shot from the slot, but after hitting the post the puck was swept away by Dion Phaneuf.The Senators got the games first goal four minutes in thanks to a little leg work from Smith. Chris Kelly took a shot that was redirected by the knee of Ryan in front of Kinkaid.Kelly was originally credited with the goal but following further review it was changed to Ryan.The Devils tied the game just shy of the 11-minute mark of the first period when Moore beat Condon with a point shot. Mike Cammalleri picked up the assist on the goal, giving him his 600th NHL point.You hit a milestone and it gives you a moment to reflect, Cammalleri said. Im a romanticist when it comes to sports and it for me it makes me think of all the people that support you and all the time youve enjoyed playing this game.But its only a moment of reflection because you get right back to trying to win a hockey game.Game notes Ben Harpur, Craig Anderson and Mike Hoffman were the scratches for the Senators, while Beau Bennett, PA Parenteau and Pavel Zacha were scratches for the Devils ... F Casey Bailey, acquired along with defenseman Dion Phaneuf last season, made his Senators debut Saturday. ...

Tom Brady will miss the first four games of the upcoming NFL schedule. Unless he doesnt.Deflategate has crept into a third NFL season, and with the federal courts rejection on Wednesday of the New England quarterbacks appeal of his suspension, it certainly appears that Brady will be sidelined into early October.Brady still has the option of taking his case to the Supreme Court -- one legal analyst called that nothing more than a Hail Mary -- and getting the suspension for his role in the use of underinflated footballs in the 2014 AFC title game overturned or stayed. Given how aggressively Brady, the NFL Players Association and all the lawyers involved have pursued the case, trying to get the Supreme Court to hear it could be the next step.Meanwhile, its up to the Patriots to figure out the best approach to opening the season at formidable Arizona before a homestand against Miami, Houston and Buffalo.One thing for sure: super-secretive New England wont be giving out any hints.Among the Patriots biggest dilemmas is how to split reps and game time in the preseason. Normally, Brady would take a huge number of reps, but would play sporadically in the exhibition matches. Jimmy Garoppolo would get the majority of the game snaps.Now? New Englands coaches must get Garoppolo prepared for his most significant pro action. Yet offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels must be careful not to get in the way of Bradys prep.While Brady is among the most accomplished winners in sports, and no one knows his craft better than the four-time Super Bowl champion, this is uncharted territory for him. Staying sharp when you are barred from any interactions with your team for a month is a huge challenge even for Brady.That makes the Patriots August very intriguing. Watch for lots of photos and video of Brady working witth backups and rookies whenever that occurs on the practice field.dddddddddddd Sort of like Leonardo DiCaprio doing a cartoon.The Patriots also must begin considering their overall quarterback situation. Rookie Jacoby Brissett would be the only backup to the untested Garoppolo, hardly an ideal situation for anything except a rebuilding team. So bringing in a veteran QB for at least the four games Brady will miss makes some sense.Except, of course, how does that quarterback get any practice reps in light of the urgency of preparing Garoppolo and keeping Brady somewhat sharp? He doesnt. So finding someone willing to be nothing more than a camp body would be the Patriots chore.In a way, though, the Patriots are fortunate that the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan issued its decision Wednesday. Barring that Hail Mary in DC, the team can move ahead with concrete plans for preparing Garoppolo, who has thrown all of 31 passes in two NFL seasons.Envision a scenario where the deflated footballs issue remained unsettled and Brady received a stay of his suspension while the courts considered its merits. He would play in those first four games and many others until a decision was made.Imagine then that Brady still loses on appeal and is forced to sit out the final four games of the schedule. Or the section when the Patriots play Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Buffalo and Seattle, their most formidable four-game stretch.Or -- New Englanders shudder at this thought -- he has to sit out the playoffs. After all, the genesis of all of this hot air was what the NFL says occurred in a conference championship game.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
