Highlights of Sunday's NHL games

[December 12, 2016] Dec 11 (The Sports Xchange) - Highlights of Sunday's National Hockey League games:

Flyers 1, Red Wings 0 (OT)

Brayden Schenn's goal 2:44 into overtime gave the Philadelphia Flyers a 1-0 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday at Joe Louis Arena.

It was the Flyers (18-10-3) ninth consecutive win.

Anthony Stolarz, making his second start of the season and his career, made 28 saves for his first NHL shutout.

Jimmy Howard made 34 saves for Detroit in his first start since Nov. 23.

Capitals 3, Canucks 0

Alexander Ovechkin scored the 200th power-play goal of his storied career in the first period and Washington methodically wore down a tired Vancouver squad to pick up a victory.

The Capitals didn't need much offense against a weary Canucks team that arrived in D.C. at 3 a.m. Sunday on the heels of a loss Saturday against the Panthers.

Evgeny Kuznetsov and Tom Wilson also scored for the Capitals, who got 20 saves from Braden Holtby.

Ducks 5, Senators 1

Corey Perry, Antoine Vermette and Sami Vatanen each scored a power-play goal to lead Anaheim to a rout of Ottawa at the Honda Center.

Nick Ritchie and Joseph Cramarossa added goals for the Ducks, who received 21 saves from John Gibson while earning their third consecutive victory and sixth in eight games.

Ryan Dzingel scored the only goal for the Senators, who have lost five of their last seven.

Blackhawks 3, Stars 1

Marian Hossa, Artem Anisimov and Artemi Panarin each scored, and Chicago pulled away from Dallas.

Ryan Hartman assisted on Hossa's goal and set up Anisimov's go-ahead score with a strong drive to the net.

Devin Shore scored the lone goal for the Stars.

Rangers 5, Devils 0

Antti Raanta helped New York extend its winning streak to three with a shutout victory over New Jersey at Madison Square Garden.

Raanta stopped all 19 shots he faced, earning his second straight shutout and sixth of his career. In backstopping consecutive wins over the Winnipeg Jets, Chicago Blackhawks and Devils this week, Raanta surrendered only one goal on 63 shots.

Chris Kreider, Brandon Pirri, Jimmy Vesey, J.T. Miller and Brady Skjei scored for the Rangers.

Wild 3, Blues 1

Matt Dumba and Nino Niederreiter scored to build a two-goal lead and Devan Dubnyk had 20 saves for Minnesota, which topped St. Louis.

Mikael Granlund added an empty-net goal in the final minute for the Wild, who beat the Blues for the first time in three tries this season.

St. Louis also got exemplary goaltending via 22 saves from Jake Allen and a goal from Vladimir Tarasenko.

Avalanche 3, Maple Leafs 1

Semyon Varlamov stopped 51 shots, Mikko Rantanen and Nathan MacKinnon scored power-play goals, and Colorado defeated Toronto.

Blake Comeau added an empty-net goal in the third period for the Avalanche, who finished a four-game road trip at 2-2-0.

Jake Gardiner scored for the Maple Leafs, who took their fourth loss in the past five games.

Oilers 3, Jets 2

Edmonton gave itself a little breathing room in the Western Conference playoff race by sweeping its season series with Winnipeg.

The Jets were anxious to get back at it after losing 6-2 the night before in Calgary while the Oilers wanted to turn themselves in the right direction after losing three straight games on the road.

Only Edmonton got what it needed out of 60 tough minutes.

Mark Letestu, who's scored five of his six goals this season against Winnipeg, tied it on a power play at 2:28 of the third period, then took credit for the go-ahead goal when Patrik Laine ripped one into his own net by accident.
