Penguins 4, Red Wings 1
Blake Comeau had a goal and an assist in his return from a 20-game
absence as the Pittsburgh Penguins shook their scoring slump and
cooled off the Detroit Red Wings.
Comeau was activated from the injured reserve list before the game
after not playing since Dec. 22 because of a wrist injury.
Patric Hornqvist also had a goal and assist for the Penguins
(31-15-8), who won for the third time in four games. David Perron
and center Nick Spaling scored Pittsburgh's other goals.
Detroit (31-13-9) lost for the just the second time in its last 12
games as rookie goaltender Petr Mrazek had a rare poor outing. He
had started each of the previous 10 games while starter Jimmy Howard
sat out with a groin injury.

Canucks 5, Blackhawks 4 (Overtime)
Daniel Sedin scored two goals, including the winner at 1:20 in
overtime, as the Vancouver Canucks eeked out a victory over the
struggling Chicago Blackhawks.
Sedin scored the Canucks' last two goals of the game, but none was
more important than the winning wrist shot in front of Chicago
goalie Corey Crawford that stopped a Blackhawks rally from a 4-2
deficit early in the third period.
The Canucks (30-20-3) have now won four of their last eight games.
Despite two goals by Marian Hossa, Chicago (33-18-4) has started its
season-high, eight-game homestand with consecutive losses, both
coming in overtime or the shootout.

Capitals 5, Sharks 4 (Overtime)
Joel Ward's 12th goal of the season on a putback in front at 2:42
enabled the Washington Capitals to beat San Jose.
The Sharks (28-20-8) lost all three games of the homestand and fell
for the fifth time in six games.
Sharks center Joe Thornton tied the game 4-4 at 14:29 of the third
period with his 12th goal of the season on a shot from the bottom of
the right circle over the glove of Washington goalie Braden Holtby.
Brett Burns scored twice for the Sharks while Jay Beagle netted a
pair for the Capital (29-16-10).
