ST. LOUIS -- The St. Louis Blues were 2 for 2 to open the shootout. Robin Lehner was thinking, oh no, not again. The Ottawa Senators backup goalie shut the door the rest of the way and ended a career oh-fer in shootouts. "Hopefully, this will break a curse," Lehner said after Kyle Turris scored the deciding goal in the fifth round for a 5-4 Senators victory Tuesday night. "I know I can be good at it. Ive had a few bad ones in the beginning that snowballed and got in my head." Lehner had been 0-6 in shootouts, allowing 12 goals on 24 shots. It was 14 goals on 26 attempts after T.J. Oshie and Alexander Steen scored for St. Louis, but Lehner regrouped to stop Vladimir Tarasenko, Kevin Shattenkirk and Maxim Lapierre. Mika Zibanejad and Stephane Da Costa also scored in the tiebreaker for Ottawa. Blues goalie Jaroslav Halak had been 4-1 in shootouts, allowing just three goals on 16 shots. "To have the type of response we had in the third, to tie it up, to get the two points in a tough building against a very good team is huge," Turris said. "Robbie played unreal. Stood on his head." Oshie had a goal and an assist in regulation for the Blues, who lost at home to an Eastern Conference opponent for the first time in 10 games this season. St. Louis had a season-high 50 shots but squandered a two-goal cushion in the third period and missed two chances to close it out in the shootout. The Blues were 0 for 7 on the power play. St. Louis gave up a 2-1 lead in its last game at Nashville, then won in a shootout. "Were probably taking a step the wrong way when weve got the game in good hands," coach Ken Hitchcock said. "Were turning pretty comfortable games into track meets." Jason Spezza had his third three-point game of the season and capped a three-goal flurry in a span of 2:35 that gave Ottawa a 4-3 lead midway through the third. Erik Karlsson had a goal and an assist to give him 53 points, best among NHL defencemen. Turris also scored a goal. Blues defenceman Jordan Leopold tied it at 11:08 with his first of the season on an odd-angled shot that banged off Lehner. The attendance of 14,758 was more than 4,000 shy of capacity at the Scottrade Center, the crowd held down by a snowstorm that left roadways clogged. The Blues also set a season best with 23 shots in a two-goal second period, seemingly taking control with a 3-1 lead despite coming up empty with more than 2 minutes of a two-man advantage. "I think theres things weve got to clean up," Oshie said. "I dont think weve got to get too down on ourselves. "The guys that made the mistakes, they know that they made them. Well clean them up. Were going to be fine." The puck got lodged in the netting on Oshies goal that made it 3-2, a score that went unannounced until after Oshie pointed out the pucks location and then the play was reviewed. "It was still hanging there and people started shovelling the ice and I wanted to argue my case," Oshie said. "I knew it was in." Ottawa beat Jaroslav Halak for three goals in a span of four shots in the third, with Milan Michalek and Turris scoring. The Senators bounced back from a 2-1 overtime loss at Pittsburgh a night earlier. Besides scoring his first goal in 38 games with St. Louis over two seasons, Leopold also saved one in the second period. Karlssons shot trickled between Halaks pads and was on the goal line and still sliding when the defenceman swatted it away. The game began with the promise of fisticuffs from the Blues as retribution for an elbow to the head by Ottawas Zack Smith that was blamed for the concussion that sidelined Steen for 11 games in late December. Rugged Ryan Reaves was picked to take the opening faceoff for the Blues, presumably set to square off with Smith, but both players were whistled for minor unsportsmanlike conduct penalties in the opening minute and both teams settled down. Turris tied it on a pass that deflected off the skate of a Blues player at 7:02, and Spezza capitalized when the Blues failed to clear the puck out of the zone and beat Halak with a high drive that ticked off the stick of a defenceman for his 15th goal of the season and a 4-3 lead.

The Canadian Olympic Committee has indicated in court documents obtained by TSN that it is pursuing its watershed lawsuit against clothing maker The North Face. In a Dec. 2 notice of application filed in B.C. court, the COC alleges that the apparel company infringed on Olympic trademarks during the Sochi Games in Russia in February when it sold its so-called Villagewear Collection of apparel because Villagewear was see as alluding to the Olympic Village where athletes are housed. The North Face, meantime, accuses the COC of trying to restrict Canadians abilities to express their national pride. The lawsuit highlights the ongoing battle by Olympics officials to stamp out the practice of ambush marketing, a term coined during the 1980s by the International Olympic Committee to describe companies trying to profit from a perceived tie to the Games without actually paying to be an official sponsor. Neither The North Face nor its parent company VF Corp. is an Olympic sponsor. The North Face marketed and released its line of Villagewear clothing in the weeks leading up to the Sochi games. After the COC complained, the company renamed its line the International Collection. It includes ski and snowboard jackets, winter hats and duffel bags in the colours and flags of various countries. The Canadian-themed items are red and white and feature a prominent maple leaf. Several items have a crest that reads RU/14. The COC says thats a clear attempt to tie the product line to the Sochi Games. The Olympic committees lawsuit, first filed in February, says items were marketed with names like Mens Sochi Full Zip Hoodie. The product line captures the international spirit of the Olympic Games, a company catalogue reads. The plaintiff ... brings this action to address the defendants wrongful conduct calculated to mislead Canadian consumers and other persons into believing (wrongly) that the defendant is an official sponsor or supporter of the Canadian Olympic Team, says the COC statement of claim, filed in B.C. Supreme Court. The COCs allegations have not been proven. The North Face marketed and released its line of Villagewear clothing in the weeks leading up to the Sochi games. In its statement of defence, The North Face challenges whether the COC even has the right to trademark the Olympic marks. The COC has itself failed to adopt or use the alleged Olympic trademarks, and has never been the owner of the said marks, in that the marks have always been beneficially owned by the International Olympic Committee, not the COC, The North Face wrote in its pleadings.dddddddddddd None of the defendants products or associated marketing ever used Sochi 2014... in any form, the pleading says. (The North Face) has never suggested or implied that it was an official sponsor, supporter or licensee of COC, or that any of its products were connected to the COC by way of endorsement or otherwise... no Canadian consumer was ever misled or confused by defendants products or promotions, or led to believe that there was any commercial relationship between defendant and COC. The North Face also alleges it has the right to use national flags of different countries on its garments and says the COC similarly has no right to stop companies from selling goods featuring the word Canada or those made using the national colours of a country. COC does not own and should not be permitted to claim monopoly rights over common patriotic exhortations such as sport the colours of your home country, or show support for your favourite team competing in this winters international competition, The North Face says. Ambush marketing is a story line that plays out during every Olympics. Lululemon marketed clothing that referred to a cool sporting event taking place in B.C. during the 2010 Winter Games in Vamcouver The COC did not take legal action in that case, The Globe and Mail reported. The Vancouver Olympic organizing committee also criticized Scotiabank for an ad campaign encouraging Canadians to show your colours, and demanded telecom company MTS Allstream not run ads featuring speed skater Cindy Klassen during the Olympics. Two years ago, during the London Summer Games, Porter Airlines was forced to remove a Facebook illustration supporting Canadas athletes. For a time, Porters Facebook page featured its familiar black and white raccoon mascot waving and holding a torch, accompanied by the caption, Good luck to all who will be competing in the 2012 Olympics! The Globe reported that in 2004, the COC launched a high-profile battle to force the Olympia Pizza and Pasta Restaurant in Vancouver to remove signs that featured the Olympic rings and torch. The restaurant owner pledged to defy the Olympic committees demand and the signage has remained in place. ' ' '
