COLUMBUS, Ohio - Clarke MacArthur and the Ottawa Senators used a big third period to put away the injury-riddled Columbus Blue Jackets.MacArthur had two goals and an assist, and Ottawa beat Columbus 5-2 on Tuesday night in the Blue Jackets first game since star goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky was sidelined by a broken finger.Our leadership group stepped up tonight on the road to make sure we went home with some points, Senators coach Paul MacLean said.Erik Karlsson added a goal and assist for Ottawa, which scored three times in the third while stopping a two-game slide. Zach Smith and Alex Chiasson also scored, Kyle Turris had two assists and Robin Lehner had 36 saves.We played pretty good hockey in the third period, said MacArthur, who has four goals this season. We gave up a couple of chances but Lehnny was right there to make the big saves when we needed him.David Savard and Cam Atkinson scored for Columbus, which has lost three in a row due in part to a rash of injuries.Centre Artem Anisimov went down after taking a shoulder in the second period that sent his helmet into the air and left him face down on the ice. Columbus coach Todd Richards said defenceman James Wisniewski broke a finger in the third and likely will miss one to two weeks.Whether Ive done something or someones done something to the hockey gods, Ive never seen any like this, Richards said. It seems like every time we play a game somebody is getting hurt. At least thats what it feels like right now.Curtis McElhinney had 29 saves subbing for Bobrovsky, who was injured in practice on Monday and is expected to miss at least a week. It was McElhinneys first appearance since injuring his neck in a goal-mouth collision on Oct. 18 in a 3-2 loss at Ottawa.The Blue Jackets also had a scare in Sundays 5-2 loss at Los Angeles when Nick Foligno was carted off on a stretcher in a neck brace. Forwards Brandon Dubinsky, Boone Jenner and Nathan Horton have yet to play this season because of serious injuries.While Columbus was struggling with injuries, Ottawa got better as the game went along.We stuck to it and executed when we had to, Karlsson said.The game was tied at 2 before Ottawa converted a 3-on-1 at 3:41 of the third period, with Karlsson beating McElhinney with a wrist shot for his third of the season.It was nice, Karl snuck it in five-hole there, Lehner said. Its one of those good shots he does. A little sneaky. Thats why hes one of the best.The Senators then got a power-play opportunity when Corey Tropp was issued a five-minute major penalty and a game misconduct for checking Mark Borowiecki into the corner dasher board from behind. Ottawa used a nice passing combination down low to make it 4-2 on Chiassons third of the season at 10:06. Borowiecki did not return.The specialty teams I think end up being the difference in the game, MacLean said.A minute later, MacArthur scored again, slipping home a bouncing puck that had eluded defenceman Ryan Murray.Each team converted a power play in the first period. Savard fired a slap shot from the right circle for his second at 5:18. MacArthur tied it a minute later on a nifty waist-high redirection from the slot.Ottawa made it 2-1 early in the second period on another redirection. After a sloppy Columbus breakout, Cody Ceci found Smith down low for his second.At the 8:04 mark, Anisimov, with his head down skating near the puck, was levelled along the boards by Eric Gryba in what the on-ice officials called a hit to the head. Gryba was assessed a five-minute major penalty and a game misconduct, but Columbus couldnt convert the opportunity.Columbus did respond with just over a minute left in the period. After a faceoff win and quick touch pass from Wisniewski, Atkinson scored from the right circle.Tonight, I thought the players took charge of it and did a real good job, MacLean said.NOTES: Rookie G Anton Forsberg was added to the Columbus roster on emergency recall from the teams AHL affiliate. ...

Of the Washington Redskins 12 losses this year, nine were by double digits.Only one other team in franchise history has lost so decisively so often. The dreadful 1961 Redskins also dropped nine by double digits in a 1-12-1 season.It wasnt until a decade later — 1971 — that the Redskins returned to the playoffs. Unless there are some major changes, no one is going to rule out another long drought for owner Dan Snyders team.Weve had the same results here for too long, coach Jay Gruden said.And he only just got here.The first-year coach was supposed to re-energize the franchise, but that was also supposed to happen with the other six coaching changes under Snyder. The second coming of Joe Gibbs provided a couple of brief sparks, but overall the Redskins are 108-148 in the 16 years since Snyder bought the team, tied with the Buffalo Bills for the fifth-worst record in the NFL during that time.Gruden has promised changes. Weve all heard that before, but heres how some of them might come about following a 4-12 season and a sixth last-place NFC East finish in seven years:TOUGH JOB, HUH? Gruden was every bit a rookie, and it showed. He conceded his mistakes in game management, and that he could be too blunt for his own good when it came to publicly criticizing players, particularly Robert Griffin III.Players frequently talk about the NFLs massive learning curve, and the huge leap they take from Year 1 to Year 2 after going through it all the first time. The same can be true of coaches, and Gruden is already mulling how he will do things differently next season after what he called the humbling experience of 4-12.Theres a million things swirling in your brain right now, Gruden said. Thats why its important just to take a deep breath, take a few days off, let everything sink in, make the notes you need to make, and when you talk to the owner and the general manager and the rest of the staff, then you move forward with some of your thoughts and your beliefs.BIG MEETING: Fly-on-the-wall time comes Sunday, when Gruden sits down for his big review-the-season meeting with Snyder and team president and general manager Bruce Allen. Its unlikely Gruden will lose his job, but there aree sure to be serious discussions that will determine the future of the franchise.dddddddddddd Particularly talks concerning Griffin, the rest of the coaching staff and how best to upgraded the many deficiencies on the roster.SO WHAT ABOUT RG3?: Gruden worked diligently to try to teach Griffin the finer points of pocket passing. He didnt make much progress, at least not enough for Griffin to avoid getting benched for the second straight season.Gruden this week declined to say whether Griffin will be the starter headed into training camp. The Redskins also must decide in the spring whether to pick up a team option in the quarterbacks contract for the 2016 season.Allen and Snyder have invested much into Griffin. They would naturally be more reluctant to give up on him than Gruden, who was hired because of his track record of working with quarterbacks, and could be ready to move on to someone else.It could be quite the tug-of-war. Then again, it wouldnt be a Redskins off-season without RG3 drama.Yeah, there needs to be some clarity at certain spots, Gruden said. Theres no question about it. Obviously, the quarterback position is one of them.SCAPEGOAT HASLETT?: Defensive co-ordinator Jim Haslett had another tough season and is the low-hanging fruit for fans demanding some sort of immediate change. But the loss of several key starters compounded the problems of a unit that was already thin on talent at the start of the season.Gruden once worked for Haslett in the now-defunct UFL and is staying loyal to his former boss. Snyder and Allen might have other ideas.I would recommend keeping him, Gruden said.ALLEN & A.J.: A more significant change would come in a front office that has flopped too often when drafting players and signing free agents. Allen isnt going anywhere, but theres an argument to be made that he should yield his GM duties.One candidate is A.J. Smith, the former San Diego Chargers GM who advises the Redskins in a role as senior executive.I have a lot of respect for both Bruce and A.J., Gruden said diplomatically. And I think if A.J. is here full-time, it could only be a benefit.___AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow Joseph White on Twitter: http://twitter.com/JGWhiteAP ' ' '
