Highlights from Tuesday's NHL games

[February 15, 2017] Feb 14 (The Sports Xchange) - Highlights from National Hockey League games on Tuesday:

Ducks 1, Wild 0

John Gibson stopped 37 shots and Joseph Cramarossa scored as the Anaheim Ducks shut out the Minnesota Wild.

Minnesota peppered the Anaheim net in all three periods, but were shut out at home for the second time this season.

Gibson recorded his fourth shutout of the season while the Wild's Devan Dubnyk made 22 saves.

Minnesota fell behind early and were frustrated by Gibson throughout.

The Wild failed to score on five power plays, coming within an inch of scoring when a long-range slap shot by Christian Folin hit the inside of the right post, sailed through the crease and to the side boards.

Penguins 4, Canucks 0

Evgeni Malkin recorded a goal and an assist in his first game since Jan. 24 as Pittsburgh blanked Vancouver.

Matt Murray made 29 saves for his third shutout of the season. Malkin pushed his point total to 56 as he kept pace with others near the top of the league scoring race despite missing seven games with a lower-body injury.

Sidney Crosby recorded an assist on Jake Guentzel's goal, giving him 999 career points. Ryan Miller stopped 38 shots for the Canucks.

Maple Leafs 7, Islanders 1

Auston Matthews scored two goals, and Josh Leivo had a goal and two assists in Toronto's rout of New York.
