OTTAWA -- Focus has been the key to the Los Angeles Kings recent success. Anze Kopitar scored twice as the Kings beat the Ottawa Senators 5-2 on Saturday afternoon for their sixth straight win. In many ways this game was over before it even started as the Kings took control of the game, scoring twice by the four-minute mark. The game could have been much uglier had Los Angeles not let up in the second period. "We kind of slacked a little after we were up 3-0," said Kings defenceman Drew Doughty. "We let them back in the game and they started outshooting us and taking the play to us and after they got those two we had to get back in the game." Los Angeles now has a 22-7-4 record, third-best in the NHL. Ottawa, meanwhile, continues to struggle with afternoon games. The Senators are now 1-6-1 when the puck drops before 7 p.m. "They got off to a better start than us so they carry momentum early," said Ottawas Jason Spezza. Jeff Carter, Dwight King and Jarrett Stoll also scored for L.A. Rookie goaltender Martin Jones extended his winning streak to five games, stopping 37 shots. Joe Corvo and Erik Karlsson scored for the Senators (13-15-6), who saw their home record drop to 6-9-3 for the year. Starter Craig Anderson was pulled after allowing two goals on four shots in 4:18. Robin Lehner finished the game allowing three goals on 22 shots. L.A. took control early on as King opened the scoring just 21 seconds into the game beating Anderson blocker side. Carters goal at 4:18 put an end to Andersons afternoon as he looked awful on the play. "I had a bad day," said Anderson. "Everyone has a bad day once in a while. It just so happens the red light goes on when I make a mistake. Its all magnified that way. It stinks, but I cant focus too much on it, Ive got to move forward and put it behind you. "Its a little blip on the radar and one of those things where the sooner you forget about it the better off youll be." Senators coach Paul MacLean admitted that Andersons rough start made it that much more difficult for his team. "We didnt get saves early," said MacLean. "That team that we played is a very good team. They play a certain way and they play that way the whole game and they make it difficult for you and they certainly did that (Saturday)." While Anderson had his share of struggles his teammates say they didnt offer much help. "Its a (bad) goal, but at the same time we cant just put it on (Anderson) in that situation," said defenceman Erik Karlsson. "The things hes done for us in the past is probably way more than just one unlucky bounce there so we should be able to clean it up there for him. Obviously today we didnt have his back like he usually has ours." Things didnt get any better as Kopitar made it 3-0 after beating Lehner from in close. That marked the 18th straight game in which the Kings did not allow a goal in the first period. "We just keep winning," said Stoll. "Theres just a bunch of things going right right now. We just have to make sure we keep on top of it." The Senators finally managed to give the 17,140 fans in attendance something to cheer about midway through the second as Corvo was able to jump on Spezzas rebound and beat the 23-year-old Jones on the left side. Ottawa made things close as Karlsson made it 3-2 at the four-minute mark of the third, but were never able to score the equalizer as Jones was solid. "We stuck to it as good as we could," said Ottawas Erik Karlsson. "We won the second period and got an early goal in the third, but unfortunately wasnt able to hold on for the tie." Stoll made it 4-2 at 13:18 of the third as he picked up a Drew Doughty rebound and Kopitar scored his second of the game on the power play with just over three minutes remaining putting an end to any hopes of a Senators comeback.

WASHINGTON -- A slow start to the season turned into Washingtons best November in 29 years. John Wall had 26 points and 12 assists, Trevor Ariza scored 24 points and made five 3-pointers, and the Wizards beat the Atlanta Hawks 108-101 on Saturday night. The Wizards lost their first three games and seven of their first nine, but have now won six of their last eight. They won eight games in November for the first time since 1984. "This was a good month for us. It was a tough start to the month, to the season. We didnt want to get the start we had, but it happened," coach Randy Wittman said. Washington has played the last four games without starting guard Bradley Beal, hasnt had first-round draft choice Otto Porter at all, and still managed to nearly break even. Their 8-9 record isnt what they want it to be, but still makes the Wizards one of the better teams in the Eastern Conference. With the Hawks loss, there are just two teams in the conference with winning records. "I really dont want to look at it like that. I want to see how good we can be, but if you look at the conference, a lot of teams are kind of in the middle right now. Were trying to find ourselves as a team, trying to put it together. Hopefully we can get it going. I think we will," Atlanta centre Al Horford said. Martell Webster added 19 points for Washington and also had five 3-pointers. Nene, who returned after missing Fridays game at Indiana with a right Achilles tendon injury, had 13 points and 12 rebounds. Paul Millsap had 23 points and 10 rebounds for Atlanta, which cut an 18-point, third-quarter deficit to 81-79 with 9:42 left, but could not get closer. Horford added 16 points and Jeff Teague had 15 for the Hawks. Ariza scored eight points in the final 9:20 to help secure the win. "Were showing growth. Were showing maturity. I feel were ready to take the next step and become a playoff team," Ariza said. Washington got some of its roughestt road games out of the way, losing to Oklahoma City, Dallas and San Antonio in a rough three-game trip.dddddddddddd The Wizards also lost to Miami and Indiana on the road. "It wasnt the easiest schedule to start with. I think it might be a positive in the long run playing against some top quality teams on the road early in the season," Wittman said. Washington took the lead early in the first quarter and led 28-20 after one. Thanks to two 3-pointers late in the second quarter by Webster, the Wizards led 54-44 at halftime. Washington hit on five of its first six shots in the third quarter to take a 66-48 lead with 8:12 to play. The Hawks answered with an 11-0 run to cut the lead to 66-59 with 4:20 to play, and Washington led 79-70 after three. Wall had his first three games of 30-plus points from Nov. 22-26. He followed it with a 19-point performance on Wednesday at Milwaukee, but had a bad night against the Pacers on Friday, shooting just 4 for 14. Saturday night was much better. "When were healthy, I feel we can compete with anybody," Wall said. "We didnt panic because we knew what kind of team we had. We have a team thats capable of being in the playoffs," Wall said. NOTES: Atlanta G Kyle Korver missed his third straight game with a bruised rib. . G Lou Williams didnt play because Budenholzer has chosen not to use him in back-to-back games as he recovers from ACL surgery. . The Hawks next game is on Tuesday at San Antonio, where Budenholzer spent nearly 20 years as a video co-ordinator and assistant coach. "Im not allowed to look ahead. Youve allowed to ask, but I cant look ahead," Budenholzer said. "Tomorrow or the next day I can think about that, but right now Im thinking about Washington." . F Al Harrington missed his ninth straight game with a right knee injury. . Wittman and Budenholzer were each assessed a technical foul in the second quarter for arguing a foul call. ' ' '
