ST. CATHARINES, Ont. - The Ottawa Senators have decided to let Curtis Lazar play for Canada at the world junior championship. Its a win-win, for their organization, for us, so we could not be more excited, said Scott Salmond, Hockey Canadas vice president of hockey operations. Lazar, one of the Senators top prospects, has recorded a goal and six assists this season as their fourth-line centre. I had a good talk with management this morning and we feel thats going to be the best for my long term development and its a great opportunity, Lazar said in Ottawa. The 19-year-old had the second-lowest average ice time on the team, just above Chris Neil, at 12:45 a game. Wednesday night at the New Jersey Devils, Lazar skated 15 shifts for 8:30, his lowest totals of his rookie season. Lazar is expected to play a prominent role with Canadas world junior team and could even be the captain. Curtis brings everything, really, Canadian defenceman Josh Morrissey said. He is an all-around player, he brings a lot to our team on the ice with his skills, and ability, but off the ice he brings tremendous leadership, he is a hard-working honest guy. A winger in 2014, its uncertain whether Lazar will play there or at centre in 2015. I see him, imagine him, playing a lot, Salmond said. Lazar becomes the seventh returning player on Canadas world junior team, joining Morrissey, goaltender Zach Fucale and forwards Sam Reinhart, Connor McDavid, Nic Petan and Frederik Gauthier. With Lazar joining, Canada must make four more cuts, including three at forward, to get down to the 22-man roster. Thats part of the process, coach Benoit Groulx said. For us, having Curtis back, obviously I think it puts a smile on everybodys face on this team. Yeah, its going to make our decision tougher, but I think its good for our team to have him back. Canada plays Russia in exhibition action Friday night in Toronto. Lazar will meet up with the team then but wont be in the lineup. Its possible Lazar makes his 2015 Canadian world junior team debut back in Ottawa on Sunday, maybe even alongside McDavid. The world junior championship begins Dec. 26 as Canada faces Slovakia in Montreal. Authentic Malik Monk Jersey . The deals were announced on Friday.

With the final four being arguably the four best – and most complete – teams from the regular season, picking a winner is not as easy as it sounds.WASHINGTON - After three straight walk-offs, the Washington Nationals went for a cakewalk instead. Sure, winning late over and over again is a thrill, but its not good for the blood pressure — not to mention the workload of the bullpen. Stephen Strasburg provided much of the salve Tuesday night, allowing one run and three hits over a season-high eight innings as the Nationals ran their winning streak to eight games with an 8-1 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. "I guess its what the doctor ordered," Strasburg said. That, along with a six-run third inning. Asdrubal Cabreras bases-clearing double blew the game open, giving Washington an overdue breather in what is now its longest winning run since August 2012. "I think were just coming together," said shortstop Ian Desmond, who had four RBIs. "Weve kind of established our way, I guess you would say." Success had come with suspense for the Nats: four consecutive one-run games, including the last three decided by the final at-bat, and the last two in the 11th inning. But Strasburg (10-10) did just what the Nationals needed him to do: eat up innings to give the overtaxed relievers a break. He struck out four to give him an NL-leading 198 for the season, besting his previous single-season high of 197 in 2012 — the year he was shut down early after returning from elbow surgery. "The way Stephen pitched is, I hope, indicative of what were going to see in the future," Desmond said. "Hes been great a lot in his career, but tonight was one of those games where it was really fun to watch." The Nationals sent seven batters to the plate in the third before the Diamondbacks could record an out. Rookie Chase Anderson (7-5) faced six of them, allowing five singles and a walk beefore he was pulled in the shortest outing of his young career.dddddddddddd. Jayson Werths broken-bat single up the middle scored the first Nationals run, and Desmonds single brought in two more. After Bryce Harpers single loaded the bases, Anderson was pulled for Eury De La Rosa, who gave up Cabreras drive that took one bounce before hitting the wall in right-centre. "I just kind of didnt attack the guys like I should attack," Anderson said. "I think if you execute pitches and get ahead, you can kind of get anybody out. Thats just the name of the game." David Peraltas first-inning home run accounted for all the scoring for the Diamondbacks, who have lost four straight. MAYBE I SHOULDNT TELL THE SKIPPER Nationals manager Matt Williams praised Desmonds ability to "shorten down" on a swing that produced a pair of runs: "Hes going to get a bunch of homers, we know that, but when he can take a two-run single, hes feeling it and hes seeing the ball good." Oops. Turns out it was totally an accident. Desmond said he was just trying to fight off a pitch. "I dont know if I chose to shorten up," Desmond said. "I think the jammage probably shortened me up a little bit." ENDERS END GAME Diamondbacks CF Ender Inciarte grounded out in the ninth to finish an 0-for-4 night, ending his team rookie record hitting streak at 18 games. TRAINERS ROOM Nationals OF Nate McLouth will have surgery Thursday for a torn labrum in his right shoulder and is done for the year. He hit .173 with one home run and seven RBIs in 79 games in his first season in Washington. UP NEXT Arizonas Trevor Cahill (3-8, 4.68 ERA) faces Tanner Roark (12-7, 2.93) on Wednesday night in the third game of the four-game set.
