Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 36 shots for the Penguins, who have lost seven of eight.

Maple Leafs 3, Mighty Ducks 2
At Toronto, Tomas Kaberle and Alex Steen scored power-play goals, and Toronto ended a three-game skid with a victory over Anaheim.
Kyle Wellwood also scored for the Maple Leafs, who had lost four of five. Toronto went 2-for-6 on the power play, while Anaheim was 0-for-8.

Senators 6, Avalanche 2
At Denver, Dany Heatley scored the go-ahead goal in the third period and added two assists, and Ottawa scored four times in the final period to overwhelm Colorado.
Ottawa had trouble setting up its power play early and played without Jason Spezza, the NHL's third-leading scorer, because of a hip injury.
It didn't matter. After Mike Fisher scored in the first period and Christoph Schubert in the second, the Senators turned a 2-all game into a rout. They lead the NHL with 46 points.
Heatley scored his 20th goal nearly six minutes into the third. Patrick Eaves, Bryan Smolinski and Brandon Bochenski followed.
Dominik Hasek stopped 22 shots and has allowed only 19 goals during a 9-0-1 streak. Daniel Alfredsson had three assists.
Avalanche rookie Marek Svatos scored his 15th goal and Patrice Brisebois ended a 21-game goal drought, but Colorado lost for the fourth time in six games.

WADA on Saturday said it was turning to legal counsel to address a statement released by US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) CEO Travis Tygart, who said WADA and anti-doping authorities in China swept positive tests “under the carpet by failing to fairly and evenly follow the global rules that apply to everyone else in the world.” The

He first topped Laotian Soukphaxay Sithisane in the round of 16 with two seoi nage (over-the-shoulder throws), then ousted Indian Vijay Kumar Yadav in the quarter-finals with his signature ude hishigi sankaku gatame (triangular armlock).

Rafael Nadal on Wednesday said the upcoming French Open would be the moment to “give everything and die” on the court after his comeback from injury in Barcelona was curtailed by Alex de Minaur.

Nadal, 37, who missed virtually all of last season, is hoping to compete at the French Open next month where he is the record 14-time champion. The Spaniard said the clash with De Minaur was
