catch moved the Rams to midfield

Although Semyon Varlamov hasnt played at the level he did for the Colorado Avalanche last season, the resurgent goaltender is starting to show signs of leading a potential playoff push. Steve DeBerg Jersey . Coming off one of the best efforts in NHL history, Varlamov is likely to get another chance to continue his improved play as Colorado seeks its fourth win in five games tonight against the visiting Ottawa Senators. Viewers in the Senators region can watch the game on TSN5 at 8:30pm et/9:30pm at, or listen live on TSN Radio 1200 Ottawa. Ottawa also hopes to make a run at the playoffs, but its headed in the other direction after losing five of seven. The Senators have scuffled offensively on the road, scoring six goals while going 1-2-1 in their past four. Mike Hoffman had the teams only score on 42 shots in Tuesdays 2-1 shootout loss at Philadelphia to open a four-game trip. Its something that you have to start picking up two points, said center Kyle Turris, who has done his part with two goals and two assists over his past four games. Clarke MacArthur has two goals and four assists in his last four meetings with the Avs, including the go-ahead score in the third period of a 5-3 win Oct. 16 when the Senators faced Pickard and Berra. Varlamov was one of the main reasons the Avalanche cruised to the Central Division title in 2013-14, finishing with a franchise-record 41 victories to go along with a 2.41 goals-against average in being named a finalist for the Vezina Trophy. He struggled to continue that success in his first 15 starts this season, going 4-6-5 with a 3.21 GAA while attempting to play through a groin injury. However, hes made strides toward getting untracked by posting a 1.79 GAA in winning four of his last six outings. With 54 stops in Tuesdays 2-0 win at Chicago, Varlamov posted the second- most saves in franchise history behind Ron Tugnutts 70 with Quebec in 1991.

Varlamov added the league mark for most stops in a regular-season shutout on the road since shots on goal became an official statistic in 1955-56. One things for sure, he could not lose his focus, coach Patrick Roy told the teams official website. He had plenty of work out there. Varly is one of our best players, and if we want a chance to get back in the playoff picture it is going to start from him. Roys squad, which won despite getting outshot by 30, will try to keep climbing out of the division cellar as it looks for its fifth win in eight home games. The Avs (16-16-8) have won three straight there over Ottawa (16-15-8). With Calvin Pickard demoted and Reto Berra not impressing, Varlamov is expected to get another start. He won both matchups with the Senators last season behind a 1.99 GAA. John Mitchell, who had a pair of assists against the Blackhawks, has scored in his last two versus Ottawa. Captain Gabriel Landeskog has two goals and five assists in his past four meetings, but he has one goal in his last 16 games overall. Craig Anderson, who is 4-1-2 with a 1.68 GAA in his last seven starts, is expected to get the nod for the Senators. He was 0-2-1 with a 6.35 GAA against Colorado before making 28 saves in October. Marc Methot will return to the Senators lineup for just the third time this season. It will be his 400th career game. Curtis Lazar, fresh off his gold medal at the World Juniors, will not play for Ottawa.

The Cardinals (11-3) now own the leagues best record and can secure a postseason berth this Sunday as long as the Dallas-Philadelphia game doesnt end in a tie.

Its hard to win football games when you dont score touchdowns, Rams head coach Jeff Fisher said. The difference in this game was our inability to get the ball in the end zone. The Rams finally converted a second-half first down as Bailey hauled in a 38- yard strike down to Arizonas 39 with 10:10 to play in the fourth quarter. St. Louis took the ball down to the 1-yard line, but Hill threw the ball away on third down and Greg Zuerlein was true from 19 yards out for a 12-6 game with 6:07 remainiing. Tai Streets Jersey.

The Rams punted the ball away on their first possession of the third quarter to Tedd Ginn Jr., who navigated his way down the field 42 yards to the St. Louis 42. Arizona, however, couldnt capitalize and gained just two yards before punting.

Two plays later, Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald sacked Stanton for an 8-yard loss. The Cardinals signal-caller stayed on the ground before hobbling off the field. Lindley took over and delivered a 6-yard pass to Floyd, which helped set up Catanzaros 51-yard field goal midway through the third.
