NHL Senators' OT win forces Game 7

Wednesday's 2-1 victory in East Rutherford means the series will close in Ottawa.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- The Ottawa Senators knew they would return home after Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals.
Following a stirring victory, they're taking the skidding New Jersey Devils with them.
Defenseman Chris Phillips scored 15 minutes, 51 seconds into overtime to lift the Senators to a 2-1 victory Wednesday night and force a deciding seventh game Friday night in Ottawa.
Backs against wall
New Jersey has seen its commanding 3-1 lead disappear. Now the Devils must win on the road to avoid becoming just the third team to squander such an advantage in a series as late as the semifinals.
"We're not disappointed at all," Devils goalie Martin Brodeur said. "To be in a Game 7 to decide if we are going to go to the Stanley Cup or not, we'll take it any time against any team."
The Devils rallied from such a deficit in the 2000 Eastern Conference finals en route to the Cup, winning twice in Philadelphia to eliminate the Flyers.
"You draw from the good experiences. That can help you out," Brodeur said. "It's one game and these guys have a lot of momentum.
"We are going to have to try to put a little doubt into their minds like they did the last two games to us."
Patrick Lalime kept the Senators alive in overtime by fighting off several New Jersey flurries. The biggest threat came from Brian Gionta, who was stopped on a two-on-one with Patrik Elias.
Despite choppy ice that had to be attended to several times during the game, both goalies were sharp. In making 30 saves, Lalime looked more like the goalie who held opponents to two goals or fewer in 11 straight playoff games than the one who yielded 10 goals to the Devils in three consecutive losses after Game 1.
