OTTAWA - Chicago Blackhawks forward Marian Hossa had a memorable night in the city where his NHL career started.Hossa had a goal and an assist in the Blackhawks 5-4 shootout win over the Senators on Thursday night in Ottawa, reaching two special milestones where he began his career back in 1997.Hossas goal at 13:50 of the third period was his 1,000th career point and it came in his 1,100th game in the NHL. The veteran forward started his career with the Senators, moved on to Atlanta, Pittsburgh and then Detroit before finding his current home in Chicago.What a special night for it to happen in Ottawa where it started, said Hossa, who stood and waved to the fans when they gave him a standing ovation after his accomplishment was announced. Its a great achievement and a great milestone and Im very thankful to all that players who helped me achieve this throughout my career,I played (in Ottawa) seven years and the people were nice to me during the time I was here and it was so nice of them for the thanks, so I just stood and thanked them back. Im always going to remember this.Patrick Sharp scored the only goal of the shootout to give the Blackhawks the road victory. Jonathan Toews scored twice for Chicago (6-3-1), while Kris Versteeg added a goal in regulation time. Scott Darling turned aside 28 shots for the win.Mark Stone, Clarke MacArthur, Bobby Ryan and Mika Zibanejad had goals for Ottawa (5-2-2), while Craig Anderson made 35 saves.Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville was appreciative of Hossas milestone.Its a special accomplishment, said Quenneville. It shows youve been consistently productive in your career and he does it, not just production wise but he does it by playing on both side of the puck which makes that 1,000 number pretty impressive.Hossas goal was just one of four in a third-period outburst from the two clubs after they went into the period tied 2-2.When we played them close and played them tight it was a much better game for us, said Senators coach Paul MacLean. When we played them loose and I guess gave them respect is the proper word, they made us pay for it.For our group to play the way we did and to get a point out of it I think its a great way to continue momentum. We had a lot of great efforts and we can feel pretty good about it.Ryan gave the Senators a 3-2 lead just 30 seconds into the period when he grabbed a loose puck in front of the Blackhawks goal and surprised Darling with a quick shot.Toews scored his second of the game at 7:31 and then Hossa gave Chicago the lead six minutes later on a shot Anderson admitted he misplayed.The Senators pressured Chicago in its own end until Zibanejad scored not only his first goal of the season, but also collected his first point when he beat Darling through the legs from the slot at 17:52.They were able to pick me up on that fourth one and tie it up to get us to overtime, Anderson said. That was huge with Mika getting on the scoreboard for us and picking up for my mistake but thats what its all about, picking up your teammates when something goes wrong and our guys did a great job.MacArthur scored the only goal of the second period and it tied the game 2-2 just 2:51 into the period.With the Blackhawks shorthanded as Duncan Keith served time for holding, MacArthur jammed a loose puck through Darlings legs during a goal-mouth scramble.Both teams had several good scoring chances throughout the rest of the period but both Darling and Anderson elevated their play. There were also lots of good opportunities in the opening 20 minutes as well, especially from the younger players on the Senators.After taking a pass from second-year defenceman Cody Ceci, Stone passed off to rookie Curtis Lazar and then headed to the front of the net where he tipped Lazars shot through the legs of Darling.The Senators held that lead until the Blackhawks scored twice in a span of just over four minutes in the second half of the period.Toews tied the game 1-1 when his wrist shot barely crossed the goal line behind Anderson with several bodies in front of the net.The Blackhawks then took their first lead at 15:36 when Versteeg slipped around Senators defenceman Erik Karlsson in the faceoff circle and then went around a sprawling Anderson before tucking the puck inside the far post.That goal came moments after Mike Hoffman had a great opportunity to give the Senators the lead.Notes - Senators goaltender Robin Lehner missed Thursdays game as he spent the evening with wife Donya and son Lennox, who was born earlier in the day…Other than Lehner, Colin Greening, Erik Condra and Mark Borowiecki were scratches for the Senators.

MLB Chief Operating Officer Rob Manfred, Boston Red Sox Chairman Tom Werner and MLB Executive Vice-President of Business Tim Brosnan addressed team executives at a hotel a few blocks from Camden Yards in attempts to gain the 23 votes needed to replace Bud Selig in January. They spoke for about an hour apiece, including PowerPoint presentations, and the owners attended an evening reception at the B&O Warehouse behind the ballparks right-field wall. The executives will split into three groups of 10 for question-and-answer sessions Thursday before the vote, which will take place by secret written ballot. A three-quarters majority is needed for election. "That certainly is the goal," New York Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner said. "Thats why were all here." Manfred was estimated to have the support of 20-21 teams headed into the meetings, Werner of about six and Brosnan one: the Cincinnati Reds. There is no limit to the number of ballots, and it remained possible no one would gain election. "I wouldnt even guess," Los Angeles Angels owner Arte Moreno said. Werner is supported by Chicago White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf and Moreno. Other teams have said Reinsdorf wants a commissioner who will take a harsher stance in labour negotiations for the deal to replace the collective bargaining agreement that expires after the 2016 season. "I havent been counting votes," Reinsdorf said. "I dont know where anybody stands." Selig, 80, has ruled baseball since September 1992, first as chairman of baseballs executive council and since July 1998 as commissioner. The second-longest-serving head of baseball behind Kenesaw Mountain Landis (1920-44), Selig announced last fall that he plans to retire in January 2015. The trio of candidates was picked by a seven-man succession committee chaired by St. Louis Cardinals chairman Bill DeWitt Jr. Manfred, 55, has been involved in baseball since 1987, starting as a lawyer with Morgan, Lewis & Bockius who assisted in collective bargaining. He became MLBs executive vice-president for labour relations and human resources in 1998, received an expanded role of executive vice-president of economics and league affairs in 2012 and last September was promoted to chief operating officer. He helped lead negotiations for baaseballs last three labour contracts with players and the joint drug agreement that was instituted in 2002 and has been repeatedly strengthened.dddddddddddd Werner, 64, was the controlling owner of the San Diego Padres from 1990-94, triggering fan criticism for the payroll-paring departures of Fred McGriff, Gary Sheffield, Tony Fernandez, Randy Myers and Benito Santiago. He has been part of the Red Sox ownership group since 2002, a period that included three World Series titles. While working at ABC, he helped develop Robin Williams "Mork & Mindy" and later was executive producer of "The Cosby Show" and "Roseanne" at The Carsey-Werner Co., which he ran with Marcy Carsey. Brosnan, 56, was hired by MLB as vice-president of international business affairs in 1991, became chief operating officer of Major League Baseball International in 1994 and senior vice-president of domestic and international properties in 1998. He has held his current role since 2000. A lawyer like Manfred, he has been a key figure in the negotiations of MLBs national broadcasting contracts. MLBs last contested election for commissioner was after Spike Eckert was fired in December 1968. With the requirement then a three-quarters majority in both the American and National leagues, teams split between San Francisco Giants vice-president Chub Feeney and Yankees president Michael Burke and failed to elect anyone during 19 ballots during a meeting on Dec. 20-21 that ended at 5:05 a.m. Bowie Kuhn, a partner at the law firm Willkie Farr & Gallagher and counsel to baseballs Player Relations Committee, was elected commissioner pro-tem on Feb. 4, 1969, with a one-year term. He was voted a seven-year term that August and remained in office until October 1984, when he was replaced by Los Angeles Olympics head Peter Ueberroth. Former Yale President A. Bartlett Giamatti took over from Ueberroth in April 1989, died later that September and was replaced by his deputy commissioner, Fay Vincent. Selig, then the Milwaukee Brewers owner, teamed with Reinsdorf to head the group that pressured for Vincents forced resignation in September 1992. Selig led baseball as head of the executive council for nearly six years, including the 7 1/2-month strike in 1994-95 that cancelled the World Series. He repeatedly said he wouldnt take the job fulltime before he formally was voted commissioner in July 1998. Ueberroth, Giamatti, Vincent and Selig were elected unanimously. ' ' '
