The Rangers (7-2-2) are 4-0-2 in their past six games, while the

9:41 of the first period.
Capitals 2, Blue Jackets 1
WASHINGTON -- Washington newcomers Justin Williams and T.J. Oshie
each scored a goal, Braden Holtby stopped 29 shots and the Capitals
defeated Columbus.
Oshie, acquired in an offseason trade with St. Louis, made it 2-0
with just over eight minutes left in the game when he completed a
pretty passing sequence by firing past goalie Sergei Bobrovsky from
the slot.
Columbus left winger Matt Calvert cut the deficit to 2-1 with 5:15
remaining when he scored during a scramble in front of Holtby.
Sabres 3, Flyers 1
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Ryan O'Reilly had a goal and two assists to lead
Buffalo to a victory over Philadelphia.
Jack Eichel, Buffalo's 18-year-old center, scored his fourth goal of
the season, matching O'Reilly for the team lead. Nicolas Deslauriers
also scored for the Sabres.
Sabres goaltender Linus Ullmark made 26 saves in his second career
start. At 22, Ullmark is the youngest goalie to earn a win for the
Sabres since 21-year-old Mika Noronen in 2000.
O'Reilly, the Sabres' top-line center, matched his career high with
three points and extended his points streak to five games, during
which he has recorded three goals and seven assists.
Hurricanes 3, Avalanche 2
RALEIGH, N.C. -- Carolina produced all its offense after the midway
mark of the game, posting a victory against Colorado at PNC Arena to
run its winning streak to three games.
Potentially road weary after seven consecutive games on the road,
the Hurricanes picked up the pace and received goals from Victor
Rask, Justin Faulk and Jeff Skinner.
Cam Ward made 28 saves for the Hurricanes, who played a home game
for the first time in more than two weeks.
Senators 3, Red Wings 1
DETROIT -- Andrew Hammond made 29 saves to backstop Ottawa to a win
over Detroit at Joe Louis Arena.
Kyle Turris, Matt Puempel and Bobby Ryan scored goals for Ottawa.
Henrik Zetterberg scored for Detroit, which lost its sixth in seven
games. Goalie Jimmy Howard stopped 32 shots.
Wild 5, Blackhawks 4
SAINT PAUL, Minn. -- In a game where it seemed the team that scored
last was destined to win, Nino Niederreiter's goal early in the
third period was the difference in Minnesota's triumph over Chicago.
[to top of second column] |
In the first meeting of these Central Division rivals since
Chicago's sweep in round two of the playoffs last spring, the Wild
also got goals from Jason Zucker, Ryan Carter, Charlie Coyle and
Jared Spurgeon, improving to 5-0-0 at home. Minnesota goalie Devan
Dubnyk had 26 saves in the win.
It was the second loss in as many nights for Chicago, which got a
pair of goals from Jonathan Toews and single goals by Brent Seabrook
and Artem Anisimov. Blackhawks goalie Scott Darling, making his
third start of the season, finished with 25 saves.
Bruins 3, Panthers 1
SUNRISE, Fla. -- Brad Marchand scored two goals to lead Boston to a
win over its Atlantic Division rivals, Florida, at the BB&T Center.
Boston improved to 4-0-0 on the road this season.
The Bruins, who have the top-ranked power-play in the NHL this
season, got a pair of goals with the man advantage -- one by
Marchand and the second by Zdeno Charra, who also had an assist in
the game.
Florida, which went 3-for-3 on the power play in its previous game,
a 4-1 win over Colorado, also scored on its special teams -- a goal
by Nick Bjugstad that came on a five-on-three situation.
Canadiens 6, Flames 2
CALGARY, Alberta -- Dale Weise scored three goals and Montreal
snapped a two-game losing streak with a win over struggling Calgary.
The Canadiens had won nine straight to start the season before
dropping back-to-back games in Vancouver and Edmonton this week
prior to coming to Calgary, where their hosts are now 1-5-1.
Weise completed his hat trick with just over eight minutes
remaining, drawing a shower of hats from the Canadiens fans in
attendance.
Canucks 4, Coyotes 3
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Vancouver goalie Richard Bachman helped the
Canucks shed some unwanted baggage in his first start of the season.
Bachman stopped 29 shots and Vancouver got goals from four different
players to post a win over Arizona at Gila River Arena.
In four of the Canucks' six losses this season, they had blown a
third-period lead, but Vancouver held off an Arizona push in the
final frame to post its fourth road win in five games, where it has
earned nine of a possible 10 points.
The loss was the second straight for Arizona, which has dropped six
of its last eight games after a 3-0 start
