Ducks 1, Blackhawks 0
Anaheim Ducks forward Devante Smith-Pelly's shorthanded goal at
11:32 of the third period snapped a scoreless game on both sides,
leading the Anaheim Ducks to a win over the Chicago Blackhawks.
Smith-Pelly's third goal of the season, unassisted as well, came on
a breakaway against rookie Chicago goalie Scott Darling, playing in
only his second game ever in the NHL.
With the victory, Anaheim (8-2-0) started a new winning streak after
their seven-game streak was snapped Sunday at San Jose.
Chicago (5-3-1) have now lost three of their last four games after
winning four of their first five matches.

but was overturned on a video review to snap the Kings' (6-1-2)
six-game win streak.

Lightning 7, Coyotes 3
Nikita Kucherov, who had not scored more than one goal in any of his
61 career games, recorded a hat-trick Tuesday, leading the Tampa Bay
Lightning to an easy win over the Arizona Coyotes.
Kucherov, a 21-year-old Russian right winger who was a second-round
draft pick in 2011, had one goal in Tampa Bay's first nine games,
but came through as the Lightning played their first home game in
two weeks.
Tampa Bay (6-3-1) jumped out early and stayed in control of Arizona
(3-4-1), who allowed two goals before they had their fourth shot.

at least two hits that will get a closer look by the league for
supplemental discipline.
