 Down two goals early in the third period, the Sharks scored three
times in just over seven minutes to beat the Columbus Blue Jackets
5-3 Sunday in Nationwide Arena.
For the first time in Sharks history, they swept a six-game road
trip, one that started nine days earlier in Detroit and wound
through Buffalo, Boston, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
Patrick Marleau scored early for the Sharks, but it was a trio of
goals -- by Joe Pavelski, Brent Burns and Brenden Dillon -- that
energized the San Jose comeback.
Pavelski added an empty-net goal in the dying minutes of the game.
Ryan Johansen, Boone Jenner and Cam Atkinson had goals for the Blue
Jackets, while Sergei Bobrovsky made 24 saves.
Canadiens 4, Islanders 2
MONTREAL -- Alex Galchenyuk snapped a lengthy goal drought to lift
Montreal over the New York Islanders at the Bell Centre.
David Desharnais, Tomas Fleischmann and Max Pacioretty also scored
for Montreal. John Tavares and Anders Lee replied for the Islanders.
Carey Price made 21 saves for the Canadiens while Thomas Greiss
stopped 23 shots for New York.
Hurricanes 4, Kings 3
RALEIGH, N.C. -- Justin Faulk scored two power-play goals -- his
NHL-leading seventh and eighth with the man-advantage -- as Carolina
avoided a disastrous homestand with a victory over Los Angeles.

Faulk's two goals extended his points streak to five games with a
team-leading 15 points in 20 games coming off an All-Star year in
which he scored 15 goals.
Jeff Skinner and Brett Pesce also scored for Carolina while Anze
Kopitar scored twice and Dustin Brown once for the Kings.
Devils 3, Canucks 2
VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Mike Cammalleri scored a goal and
collected two assists as New Jersey defeated Vancouver.
Andy Greene, on a power play, and Adam Henrique also scored for the
Devils, who ended a two-game losing skid. Devils goaltender Cory
Schneider, a former Canuck, made 36 saves, including one on a
third-period penalty shot.
Henrik Sedin, short-handed, and Radim Vrbata, on a power play with
0.6 seconds left, scored for the Canucks. Vancouver has just one win
in its past six games (1-4-1).
