KANATA, Ontario (AP) _ Alexei Yashin had two goals in his first game at the Corel Center following a bitter contract dispute as the Ottawa Senators dropped a 3-2 exhibition decision to Calgary on Monday night.

The Russian center, who sat out all of last season, was booed throughout the game by the crowd of 13,211, but the reaction was much milder than anticipated

Yashin scored a power-play goal late in the first period, and tied it at 2 midway through the third period.

He did not play Saturday night in Ottawa's home loss to Edmonton after assisting on a goal in the Senators' opening tie against Florida in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Calgary's Niklas Andersson scored the winner with 7:46 left in the third period. Brad Werenka and Jeff Shantz had first-period goals for the Flames (2-1-0).
