OTTAWA - It was always supposed to be a memorable night in Ottawa — it just turned out differently than expected.On a day when longtime Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson announced his retirement and said his goodbyes to the Ottawa crowd, it was Islanders goaltender Jaroslav Halak who stole the spotlight once the game started.Halak made 20 saves Thursday night, setting a franchise record for consecutive wins as New York defeated the Senators 2-1.Halak, with a 14-4-0 record this season, won his 11 straight game to surpass Billy Smiths 1982 record.Its always nice, but I would say Im not here to chase any records or anything, said Halak. Im here to have fun, play hockey and try to help the guys win the game.Casey Cizikas scored the game winner for the Islanders (19-7-0). Brock Nelson also scored.The Senators (10-10-5) are now winless in their last four games.After one loss youve got some concern, said Ottawas Chris Neil. You want to win as many games as possible, but right now were just finding ways to lose games.Mika Zibanejad scored the lone goal for Ottawa, while Craig Anderson faced 25 shots.Anderson has lost his last five starts for the first time since an eight-game skid from Jan. 21-Feb. 11, 2012.The Senators goaltender was unavailable for comment following the game.Alfredsson, who announced his retirement in the morning, took part in the pre-game warm-up where he bid his final farewell to a soldout crowd of 20,511 at Canadian Tire Centre.I still think the day was what it is and it was a great day, said captain Erik Karlsson. That was the positive of the day and obviously we didnt win the game and thats not fun and thats a separate situation from the other one and I dont think either of them are going to overshadow the other one.Added alternate captain Chris Phillips: Its very disappointing not to win that game with the hype and energy that we had out there.This was the Senators second straight loss to the Islanders this week. New York defeated Ottawa 3-2 in overtime on Tuesday.Halak was instrumental in both games, although the Senators rarely tested him Thursday night with just nine shots through two periods.I think the last two nights (Halak) would be the first to tell you I thought we did a pretty good job, said Islanders coach Jack Capuano. We didnt give him much (to face) through two periods tonight, and the last game we didnt give the opposition too much.To me youve got to stay focused, and hes doing that. Its great to see him break the record and he deserves it.The Islanders took the lead at 13:33 of the third as Thomas Hickey made a cross-ice pass to Cizikas, who beat Anderson with the one-timer.Special teams were the difference in the second period as both teams scored with the man advantage.The Islanders opened the scoring at the 11-minute mark as Nelson took a great pass from Frans Nielsen behind the net to beat Anderson.The Senators made the most of a two-man advantage to tie the game. With Nelson already in the box, Brian Strait took a high-sticking penalty. Erik Karlsson and Zibanejad played give-and-go before Zibanejad rifled a shot through Halaks pads.Both teams failed to score in the first period.Overall we played pretty solid and (Anderson) gave us a chance to win the game, but we just couldnt get the puck in the net, said Karlsson. Thats frustrating sometimes, but at least we played well for most of the 60 minutes and we just have to build off that.Ottawa defenceman Marc Methot played his first game of the season after missing the first 24 games with a lower body injury.I was pretty happy with my game, said Methot. I just kept it simple and I didnt try and do anything too fancy. I think as the games progress Ill get better.The Senators are back in action Saturday as they take on the Pittsburgh Penguins, while the Islanders return home to take on the St. Louis Blues.Notes: The Senators placed D Patrick Wiercioch on injured reserve with a muscle strain. D Jared Cowen, C Colin Greening and C Zack Smith were healthy scratches. The Islanders were without D Travis Hamonic (upper-body) and RW Cal Clutterbuck (lower-body). Both are day-to-day.

The team said Wednesday night that an X-ray revealed the injury. Warriors coach Mark Jackson and Bogut both said hes out indefinitely and gave no timetable for his return. Speaking in a sombre tone in his corner of the locker room, though, Bogut said he has done enough research and spoken to enough doctors that he will not come back until the rib heals. "Ive got to be careful, because if it cracks Im looking at a punctured lung. Youll see me in the hospital with a tube coming out of me," Bogut said. "Its one of those things people have played through, but this is too close to comfort for me." Bogut said he first felt the injury when Denvers Kenneth Faried elbowed him in a loss to the Nuggets last Thursday. The symptoms continued against the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday, he said, and he took a pain-killing injection before playing at Portland on Sunday night. Bogut left the overtime loss to the Trail Blazers in the fourth quarter after getting sandwiched by two players. He said he cant take deep breaths and is pain anytime he coughs or sneezes — let alone tries to run. "It definitely wasnt as bad until I fully ccracked it," Bogut said.dddddddddddd "I thought I was winded for a second, but it wasnt going away. I ended up going back in the game for the last possession (of regulation). I dont know how." Backup centre Jermaine ONeal was starting in Boguts place Monday night against Minnesota. Jackson also said he also could slide power forward David Lee to centre if needed depending on the matchup in the playoffs. Last years backup centre, Festus Ezeli, has been out all season recovering from right knee surgery and remains day to day. Jackson also indicated that reserve centres Hilton Armstrong and Ognjez Kuzmic are likely not options. "It certainly does not make us a better basketball team," Jackson said of Boguts absence. Golden States centre is hardly the only one ailing at the worst time of the season. Starting small forward Andre Iguodala sat out Monday night with right knee tendinitis that he has said is something he will have to deal with for the rest of the season. Lee is playing with a nerve injury in his right hamstring/back right and ONeal has been coping with pain in his wrist and knees. Harrison Barnes started for Iguodala against the Timberwolves. The Warriors visit Denver in their regular-season finale Wednesday night before the playoffs begin Saturday or Sunday. ' ' '
