 Goalie Ben Bishop made 32 saves, helping the Lightning tie the
Canadians for first place in the Atlantic Division with 93 points.
However, Montreal has a game in hand.
Center Steven Stamkos scored twice for Tampa Bay, which also got
goals from center Valtteri Filppula and defenseman Victor Hedman.
Center Tomas Plekanec and right winger P.A. Parenteau scored for
Montreal. Canadiens goalie Carey Price stopped 30 shots.

Capitals 4, Sabres 3 (SO)
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Center Evgeny Kuznetsov scored the lone goal in the

Kings 1, Coyotes 0
LOS ANGELES -- Rookie center Andy Andreoff scored his first career
goal, and goaltender Jonathan Quick earned his sixth shutout of the
season, lifting Los Angeles to a shutout victory over Arizona before
an announced crowd of 18,230 at Staples Center.
Andreoff scored with 1:05 remaining in the second period on an
assist by center Jordan Nolan and defenseman Brayden McNabb.
Andreoff, who was playing in place of injured center Jarret Stoll,
fielded a pass from Nolan and squeezed a winner past Smith. It took
Andreoff, a third-round pick (80th overall) in the 2011 NHL Entry
Draft, 15 games to produce his first goal.
Quick stopped all 25 shots he faced for the 37th shutout of his
career, which is the most in Kings history.

The win allowed the Kings (34-22-13), who won for the third time in
four games, to tie the third-place Calgary Flames with 81 points in
the Pacific Division. They are one point back of the second-place
Vancouver Canucks.
Oilers 4, Maple Leafs 1
EDMONTON, Alberta -- One good beating deserves another.
And with that, Edmonton avenged last month's blowout loss to Toronto
by pounding the Maple Leafs 4-1 in the rematch at Rexall Place.
Edmonton had it wrapped up in the first 11 minutes, rolling out to a
4-0 lead en route to handing the Leafs a 20th loss in their past 21
road games.
The Oilers (19-39-12) wasted no time in jumping on the Leafs, as
left winger Benoit Pouliot scored on Edmonton's first shot of the
game just 53 seconds after the opening faceoff.
It was the league-leading 10th time this season that the Leafs gave
up a goal on the first shot of the game.
