OTTAWA — Drake Batherson scored a pair of goals for the Ottawa Senators in a 5-1 win Monday over the visiting Calgary Flames. With seven goals in his last six games, the 22-year-old Batherson matched the franchise record held by Jason Spezza for the longest goal streak. Colin White, with an empty-net goal, Artem Anisimov and Thomas Chabot also scored for the Senators (8-15-1). Tim Stutzle had two assists in Ottawa's fourth win in its last five games. Matt Murray, who was pulled in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Flames, stopped 27-of-28 shots for the win. Milan Lucic scored for the Flames (10-11-2), while David Rittich made 31 saves in his fifth straight start. After White's empty-netter, Chabot scored with Rittich back in net at 17:47 of the third. Ottawa capitalized on a pair of Calgary mistakes and outshot the visitors 22-6 in the second period to lead 3-1 heading into the third. Rittich put a clearing attempt on the stick of Batherson at the faceoff circle. The right-winger whipped the puck by the Calgary goaltender's pad at 11:44 for his second of the game. Lucic had just pulled the Flames within a goal scoring on the power play at 10:20. He collected his own rebound and his shot that went off a Senators skate slid by Murray's outstretched pad. Batherson made it 2-0 at 8:26 with a high shot from the high slot. Anisimov scored his first of the season at 6:22 off a Flames turnover in the neutral zone where Sam Bennett overskated a Lucic pass. Stutzle dished to Anisimov, whose shot deflected off a stick and by Rittich. The Flames outshot the Senators 12-7 in a scoreless first period in which both teams failed to convert a power-play chance. Calgary's pre-game warmup was adventurous. Defencemen Nikita Nesterov and Rasmus Andersson collided and went down near the blue-line. A helmetless Sean Monahan took a puck to the face during warmup, but played in the game. The Flames capped a six-game, 10-day road trip Monday. The Sens start their own six-game road swing Tuesday facing the Montreal Canadiens before heading to Calgary for Thursday's rematch with the Flames.

WASHINGTON — Sen. Mitt Romney said Monday that he was knocked unconscious in a fall over the weekend, but he was “doing better.” The Utah Republican said the accident happened when he was spending time with his grandchildren in Boston. He told reporters he was taken to a hospital and got stitches on his right eyebrow and lip. “I had kind of a tough, tough weekend,” Romney joked. “I went to CPAC — that was a problem.” Romney did not attend the Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando, Florida, over the weekend. The event was largely a celebration of former President Donald Trump. Romney was one of just seven Republicans who voted to convict Trump in his Senate impeachment trial last month.

NEW YORK — A former aide accusing New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo of sexual harassment condemned him Monday as a manipulative predator, as another woman said the governor had left her “shocked and embarrassed" after trying to kiss her at a 2019 wedding. The woman, Anna Ruch, became the third woman to publicly accuse Cuomo of offensive behaviour, and the first who had not worked as a state government employee. She told The New York Times late Monday that she had met the governor for the first time at a September 2019 wedding reception. She said upon meeting her, Cuomo put his hand on her bare back, which she removed, and then put his hands on her face and asked if he could kiss her. “I was so confused and shocked and embarrassed,” Ruch, now 33, told the Times. “I turned my head away and didn’t have words in that moment.” A photograph of the event shows Cuomo with his hands on Ruch's visibly uncomfortable face. An email seeking comment was sent to Ruch's business. Her social media accounts were private. An email was also sent to Cuomo's administration for comment. The sexual harassment allegations from the two women who had worked for the Cuomo administration led New York’s independently elected attorney general to say she was moving ahead with an investigation Attorney General Letitia James received a letter Monday from Cuomo’s office authorizing her to take charge of the probe after a weekend of wrangling over who should investigate. The letter enables James, also a Democrat, to deputize an outside law firm to conduct an inquiry with full subpoena power. The findings will be disclosed in a public report, the letter said. Cuomo has maintained he had never inappropriately touched or propositioned anyone. The former aide, Charlotte Bennett, on Monday rejected Cuomo's attempted apology in which he excused his behaviour as “playful," saying in a statement that the governor has “refused to acknowledge or take responsibility for his predatory behaviour.” Bennett, who alleges Cuomo quizzed her about her sex life and asked whether she would be open to a relationship with an older man, wrote that “abusers — particularly those with tremendous amounts of power — are often repeat offenders who engage in manipulative tactics to diminish allegations, blame victims, deny wrongdoing and escape consequences.” Cuomo’s support has plummeted amid dual crises, even among fellow Democrats. The harassment allegations come on the heels of accusations he covered up the true death toll of coronavirus on nursing home residents. It’s quite a tumble for Cuomo, who had been widely celebrated for his leadership during the pandemic, particularly the daily news conferences where he sought to inform and reassure the public with charts, graphs and a machismo he dubbed “New York tough.” Mayor Bill de Blasio and other elected officials have said that while Cuomo is under investigation, he should cede emergency powers he’s held since the pandemic began, nearly a year ago. The Legislature hasn’t taken any steps to revoke Cuomo’s emergency powers — set to expire April 30 — despite a push from Republicans, some Democrats, as well as the SUNY faculty union. On Monday, Cuomo retained Manhattan litigator Elkan Abramowitz to represent him and his office in probes related to nursing homes. Abramowitz, who previously represented Cuomo’s office in a federal investigation into his 2014 decision to shutdown a state anti-corruption commission, said he is not representing Cuomo in the sexual harassment matter. Bennett, 25, came forward with her allegations in a story published Saturday in the The New York Times. She said that Cuomo told her he was lonely and looking for a girlfriend. Cuomo did not respond to Bennett's statement Monday. Former aide Lindsey Boylan said Cuomo made inappropriate comments about her appearance, kissed her without her consent at the end of a meeting and once suggested they play strip poker while aboard his state-owned jet. Boylan, who is running for Manhattan borough president, first accused Cuomo in a tweet last December and elaborated on the allegations in a Medium post last week. She tweeted Monday about Ruch's alleged experience with the governor, saying, “This doesn’t make me feel validated. It makes me feel sick.” Cuomo has denied Boylan's allegations as untrue. In a statement Sunday, he acknowledged that he had teased people about their personal lives in an attempt to be “playful" and funny. He said he had wanted to act like a mentor to Bennett. “I now understand that my interactions may have been insensitive or too personal and that some of my comments, given my position, made others feel in ways I never intended. I acknowledge some of the things I have said have been misinterpreted as an unwanted flirtation. To the extent anyone felt that way, I am truly sorry about that,” he said. His statement drew immediate backlash from critics who said he was throwing responsibility onto the women for perceiving his statements wrongly. The letter authorizing James’ investigation said that all state employees have been directed to co-operate fully with the review. Cuomo senior adviser Beth Garvey said she would facilitate interviews with witness and requests for documents from Cuomo’s office. Ross Garber, a lawyer who has represented former governors Mark Sanford of South Carolina and John Rowland of Connecticut, said Cuomo is “essentially handing his reputation to an outsider and saying, ’Have at it. Go find whatever you want and publish a report to the public about whatever it is you’ve concluded that I’ve done or not done.” Bennett’s lawyer, Debra Katz, said her client will co-operate fully with the attorney general’s investigation. “We are confident that no disinterested investigator who reviews this evidence would adopt the Governor’s self-serving characterization of his behaviour as mentorship or, at worst, unwanted flirtation,” Katz said. “He was not acting as a mentor and his remarks were not misunderstood by Ms. Bennett. He was abusing his power over her for sex. This is textbook sexual harassment.” Katz said the attorney general must investigate whether Cuomo subjected other women to a sexually hostile work environment, and whether anyone in the Cuomo administration enabled his behaviour. Initially, Cuomo appeared wanting to retain a level of control over the investigation. His office said it was asking a former federal judge, Barbara Jones, to conduct the probe. Then, his office suggested that the attorney general and the state’s top judge work together to appoint outside counsel. Finally, on Sunday, Cuomo acquiesced to James’ demands that she take control. __ Villeneuve reported from Albany, New York.
