OTTAWA, Ontario -- A quick scoring burst and a solid outing from their goalie was all the Ottawa Senators needed in their latest win.Erik Karlsson and Derick Brassard scored 19 seconds apart in the first period, Mike Condon stopped 24 shots for his second shutout of the season, and the Senators beat the Florida Panthers 2-0 Saturday night.We came out to play right from the start and it translated into the whole game. We had great goaltending and that kept us in the game, Karlsson said.We battled hard all game and they made it hard for us. They showed they are a good team and created their fair share of scoring chances, but Condon played great for us.Ottawa snapped a two-game skid and handed Florida its third loss in four games (1-2-1).Roberto Luongo made 19 saves, including just five in the third period. The Senators did have two breakaways in the final 5 minutes but didnt register a shot on goal.Its a tough one to swallow, Panthers defenseman Keith Yandle said. They had a good start and sometimes you have to weather the storm throughout courses of games and they did a good job in the first 10 or 12 minutes. If you look at the second period we were better.I thought there were stretches where we were good offensively and sometimes you run into a hot goalie. For most of the game we did the right thing and they got a couple of early goals.Both goals required some fancy foot work. On the first, Karlsson had a pass from behind the net bounce off his stick right to his left foot. He then kicked the puck back to his stick and beat Luongo from the top of the crease at 6:46.Brassard then took a pass at the side of the net and kicked the puck to his stick before cutting around a fallen Luongo to score.The Panthers managed just one shot on goal through the first 14 minutes.The goalie is only as good as his defense and the defense was very good, Condon said. It comes down to team defense and guys buying in. Tonight that was a good example with just 24 shots and not many Grade-A chances against, which makes it very manageable.Each team had two power-play chances over the first two periods. The Senators had the first four power plays of the game but all they could create was one shot on goal.The Panthers had two power plays, including a 5-on-3 for 1:23 in the second period, and had several good scoring chances with five shots, but could get nothing past Condon.Condon also stopped Vincent Trocheck on a breakaway earlier in the second.The Senators finished 0 for 7 on the power play and managed just six shots while the Panthers went 0 for 4.Game notes Marc Methot and Craig Anderson were scratches for the Senators. ...

Australian netball captain Clare McMeniman concedes New Zealand will have an edge in match fitness when the worlds top two netball nations resume their compelling rivalry on Sunday.The Test in Sydney will be the first of four Constellation Cup matches in 12 days across the two countries.The Diamonds pipped the Silver Ferns by five goals in their last clash in the Quad Series in Melbourne in early September.While Australia havent played since then, New Zealand completed a 3-0 home sweep of Jamaica last month.They have had a little bit of extra time to work on their combinations and have that match fitness, McMeniman said.Weve been working hard in terms of the three weeks weve had away from the netball court and what weve been doing, but its difficult to replicate that match fitness and the intensity that you get from playing games, so they probably do have a little bit of an edge on us in that.Silver Ferns coach Janine Southby downplayed any advantage her team might get from playing more recently than the Diamonds.You could say that it does (give us an edge in match fitness) but thats water under the bridge by the time you get out there, Southby told AAP.We expect them (Australia) to be always tough and relentless and its a really fast andd physical game when we play them.ddddddddddddWhat theyve been working on the last month or two since we last met them we dont know at this stage.Theres always that element that they could bring something else to change their game, particularly from a personnel point of view.Defender Jo Weston and shooter Gretel Tippett have been recalled to the Diamonds squad in place of Kristiana Manua and Stephanie Wood, both of who made their Test debut in the Quad Series.The Silver Ferns have added two veterans to their squad in defender Anna Harrison and shooter Maria Tutaia.Southby suggested Tutaia, who hasnt played a Test in over a year after taking a break and then getting injured, will play limited minutes early in the series.While New Zealand have had issues settling on a shooting combination since Irene van Dyk retired in 2014, the return of Tutaia and the emergence of Te Paea Selby-Rickit , Bailey Mes and Queensland-born Ameliaranne Ekenasio gives Southby plenty of options.Ameliaranne played really well in the Quad Series against us and shes definitely one to watch and a force to be reckoned with, McMeniman said.
