second period and 16 shots in the third period to earn his fourth

Islanders 3, Panthers 2
NEW YORK -- Cal Clutterbuck's goal with 1:38 left in the third
period capped a stunning late comeback by the Islanders, who scored
three goals in the final 7:10 Monday night to beat Florida at
Barclays Center.
 The Islanders, who were limited to just 11 shots in the first two
periods, tied the game during a dramatic 81-second span late in the
third in which Kyle Okposo fired a shot past goalie Roberto Luongo
and Josh Bailey tucked a redirected shot into the open right corner
of the net.
Clutterbuck scored the game-winner when he corralled a loose puck to
the right of the Panthers' net and backhanded a shot at net. The
puck appeared to glance off someone's skate and trickled in.
Clutterbuck pumped his fists and went to one knee as the crowd
erupted.
Flames 7, Blues 4
CALGARY, Alberta -- Michael Frolik scored three goals and Calgary
ended St. Louis' winning streak at six games.
It was the first win for Calgary against St. Louis in seven contests
and prevented their visitors from taking over top spot in the
Western Conference's Central Division.
Two of Frolik's goals were shorthanded and the third was an empty
netter in the final minute. His second goal came on a breakaway with
3:11 left in the third period.
Predators 3, Oilers 2
EDMONTON, Alberta -- James Neal's hat trick propelled Nashville to a
victory over Edmonton. Neal's third goal, a wicked wrist shot over
the shoulder of Oilers goalie Laurent Brossoit at 4:17 of the third
period, broke a 2-2 tie.
[to top of second column] |
It was Neal's sixth career hat trick. He now has 26 goals on the
season, and the surging Predators have earned at least a point in 15
of their last 16 games. The Preds are now comfortably holding down a
playoff spot in the Western Conference, nine points ahead of the
Minnesota Wild and Colorado Avalanche, who are tied for the final
wild-card spot.
Jets 5, Canucks 2
VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Marko Dano scored twice and added an
assist as Winnipeg defeated Vancouver.
Tyler Myers had a goal and assist for Winnipeg. Alex Burmistrov and
Mark Scheifele also scored while Mathieu Perreault had two assists
for the Jets, who have won two straight games but are 2-4-1 in their
last seven road games.
Jared McCann and Jake Virtanen scored for the Canucks, who saw a
two-game win streak snapped. Vancouver hasn't won three consecutive
games all season.
Ducks 7, Devils 1
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Jakob Silfverberg had three goals and an assist
to lead Anaheim's rout of New Jersey in front of 15,423 at the Honda
Center.
Silfverberg accomplished the first hat trick and the first
four-point game of his career. Linemates Ryan Kesler and Andrew
Cogliano each contributed a goal and two assists.
Corey Perry added his 29th goal, Nick Ritchie scored the first of
his NHL career and goalie Frederik Andersen stopped 24 shots for the
Ducks, who broke a three-game losing streak.
