 Blues 5, Bruins 1
Right winger T.J. Oshie capped a three-goal flurry in a 4:21 span
early in the second period to send the St Louis Blues to a 5-1 win
over the slumping Boston Bruins.
Right winger Vladimir Tarasenko added two goals, his 30th and 31st
of the season, to extend Boston's winless streak to six games
(0-4-2), its longest since going 0-6-4 during a 10-game span in
2010.
At 23, Tarasenko became the youngest Blues player to score 30 or
more goals in a season since Brendan Shanahan had 33 in the 1991-92
season at the same age.

Ducks 6, Flames 3
Anaheim Ducks center Ryan Getzlaf scored on a fortunate bounce,
sparking the Ducks to a five-goal third period en route to a 6-3
triumph over the Calgary Flames.
 The Ducks trailed 2-1 after 40 minutes but they tied it up about six
minutes after the intermission and Getzlaf celebrated the go-ahead
goal after his blast from the blueline bounced off the boards, hit
the back of Flames goalie Jonas Hiller and dribbled across the line.

Wild 4, Oilers 0
The Minnesota Wild continued their playoff charge with a 4-0 road

The Oilers, playing their eighth game in 14 days and down six
injured players, struggled offensively, getting off just 15 shots.

Goaltender Cory Schneider stopped 21 shots for his first win ever

home victory over the Vancouver Canucks.
It was New Jersey's first triumph over Vancouver since the 2009-10
season. The Devils had dropped six straight against the Canucks
(33-22-3).
