[October 29, 2014]  Oct 28 (The Sports Xchange) - Highlights of Tuesday's National Hockey League games:

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.

Flyers 3, Kings 2 (Overtime)

Center Brayden Schenn scored a breakaway goal with 2:24 left in overtime and the Philadelphia Flyers beat the Los Angeles Kings.
 


Left winger Michael Raffl and center Chris VandeVelde also had goals to help the Flyers (4-3-2) win their third straight game.

Schenn's winner was initially ruled no goal, as it was stopped by Jonathan Quick who fell into the net and the puck crossed the line, but was overturned on a video review to snap the Kings' (6-1-2) six-game win streak.

Penguins 8, Devils 3

The Pittsburgh Penguins scored four second-period goals and seven unanswered en route to a win against the New Jersey Devils.

Eleven different players recorded at least one point for the Penguins (5-2-1) including Sidney Crosby who had a pair of goals.

New Jersey fell to 4-3-2.

Wild 4, Bruins 3

The Minnesota Wild rallied from a 3-1 third-period deficit to stun the Boston Bruins.

The Wild got goals from left winger Zach Parise, right winger Justin Fontaine and defenseman Marco Scorabella to improve their record to 5-3 on the season.

Rookie Seth Griffith, playing in his seventh NHL game, scored two goals and added an assist to lead the Bruins (5-6-0).

Jets 4, Islanders 3

Left wing Andrew Ladd scored a pair of goals to lift the Winnipeg Jets to a win over the New York Islanders.

The Jets captain scored his second goal of the game at 3:31 of the third period, beating Islanders right wing Kyle Okposo to a rebound of a saved shot by center Bryan Little to give the Jets a 4-3 lead.

The Jets (4-5-0) have back-to-back wins and victories in three of their last four games, while the Islanders (6-3-0) lost for the second time on home ice.

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.

Senators 5, Blue Jackets 2

Defenseman Erik Karlsson, right winger Alex Chiasson and left winger Clark MacArthur scored third-period goals, leading the Ottawa Senators to a win over the Columbus Blue Jackets.

The game featured two ejections -- Columbus right winger Corey Tropp and Ottawa defenseman Eric Gryba were given game misconducts -- and at least two hits that will get a closer look by the league for supplemental discipline.

Blues 4, Stars 3 (Overtime)

St. Louis Blues right wing Vladimir Tarasenko scored three of his team's four goals, including the game-winner 1:28 into overtime, as the Blues defeated the Dallas Stars.

Tarasenko's winner came when he one-timed a pass from defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk past Dallas goaltender Kari Lehtonen.

Maple Leafs 4, Sabres 0

Phil Kessel recorded a goal and an assist, and goaltender Jonathan Bernier turned aside all 10 shots he faced as the Toronto Maple Leafs picked up their first home regulation win of the season.

Center Tyler Bozak, left winger James van Riemsdyk and defenseman Jake Gardiner had the other Toronto (4-4-1) goals.

The Sabres (2-8-0) were shut out for the fourth time. (Editing by Sudipto Ganguly)
