The Senators goalie has struggled in his rare starts, leaving the 23-year-old Lenher wondering what else he can do.Honestly I cant really explain it, said Lehner. The last few games Ive played I work hard and Im trying to get better and I feel good, but bar in, post in, it hits someone. Its just not going my way. I dont know, I guess Ill have a long sauna and think about things and who did I hurt to get these bounces. I dont know.Obviously, Ive got to go back and try to get even better. Ive got to find a way.Ottawa got off to a rough start, but rallied only to see the game slip away as well as another two points in the standings.(Coming back) its another moral victory, but its a little too late for them, said Senators forward Bobby Ryan.

It was just one of those games where we got back into it, but we still didnt have the jump.Trailing 3-2, Chiasson tied things up early in the third as he took a cross-ice pass from Kyle Turris and tapped it in as he drove to the net. It was Chiassons first goal in 17 games.I guess I cant believe I put that one in, said Chiasson with a laugh. It was a nice play by (Turris). I faced a little bit of adversity this week. Its not easy as a player to think youre going to be out of the lineup.After a rough start to the game the Senators had a much better second period, thanks to some solid goaltending from Lehner.Lehner made huge saves on Spezza, two on Patrick Eaves and got a little help when Seguin rang a shot off the goalpost. The Senators were outshot 16-8 in the second.Things did not start well for Ottawa as it trailed 3-0 by the 12-minute mark of the first period, although two late goals salvaged an otherwise rough start.Zibanejad got the Senators on the board as he retrieved his own rebound and jammed it in.
