    Ottawa defenseman Sergei Gonchar has a nickname, according to Senators goalie Ben Bishop, who watched from the crease as the 38-year-old defenseman scored the winning goal that beat the New York Islanders.

    "We call him Benjamin Button," Bishop said, referring to the 2008 movie character who gets younger as he ages. "Sergei keeps finding ways to help us win;, that's for sure."

    Gonchar's go-ahead goal with 1 minute left was part of a four-goal, third-period outburst by the Senators, who rallied from a two-goal deficit and earned a 5-3 victory over the Islanders on Tuesday night.
