Ben Bishop made 25 saves in his home debut with the Senators as Ottawa defeated the New York Rangers 4-1 Thursday night.

If Long Tan ever takes another penalty kick, he will surely avoid the cheeky chip.
The Vancouver Whitecaps forward blew a chance to give his team a commanding 2-0 lead Sunday over the Houston Dynamo when he calmly chipped a spot kick directly at goalkeeper Tyler Deric, who easily caught what was nothing more than a soft lob.
It could have been a game-changing moment but the Caps hung on for a 1-0 win over the Dynamo at the Disney Pro Soccer Classic in Orlanda, Fla. on the strength of an early penalty-shot goal from Sebastien Le Toux.
The victory sends the Whitecaps into the final of the eight-team tournament on Saturday, regardless of the outcome of their third and final group-stage game Wednesday against Sporting Kansas City.
Tan drew both first-half penalty kicks against Houston after twice being hauled down in the Dynamo box. The 23-year-old Chinese striker also drew a PK in a 3-0 win over Montreal on Friday, which Le Toux successfully converted.
