NHL roundup: Pens blast 'Canes

[January 21, 2017] The Sports Xchange

RALEIGH, N.C. -- Conor Sheary scored twice and the Pittsburgh Penguins produced their second huge offensive output of the week in a 7-1 romp past the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday night at PNC Arena.

Trevor Daley, Carl Hagelin, Chris Kunitz, Phil Kessel and Evgeni Malkin also scored as the Penguins won back-to-back road games for the first time since Dec. 8 and 10.

Penguins goalie Matthew Murray made 27 saves.

Carolina goalie Cam Ward, who made his 21st consecutive start, had three rebounds pushed between his pads. He finished with 34 saves. Viktor Stalberg scored a short-handed goal with 12:51 remaining with the Hurricanes trailing 6-0.

Blackhawks 1, Bruins 0

BOSTON -- Scott Darling stopped 30 shots in his first start in two weeks and Marian Hossa scored with 1:26 remaining, giving Chicago a victory over slumping Boston.

Hossa took a pass from Tanner Kero that went through the legs of defenseman Adam McQuaid and easily beat Tuukka Rask for his 516th career goal and 17th of the season.

Boston's third straight loss came with the team reeling after blowing two three-goal leads in Detroit Wednesday night -- and with storm clouds gathering above the head of coach Claude Julien.

Sabres 3, Red Wings 2 (OT)

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Kyle Okposo scored with 26 seconds remaining in overtime to lead Buffalo over Detroit.

Sam Reinhart and Ryan O'Reilly also scored for the Sabres. Anders Nilsson made 32 saves.

Frans Nielsen and Darren Helm scored for the Red Wings, who saw a three-game win streak come to an end. Petr Mrazek made 34 saves.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Luca Sbisa's goal at 3:07 of the third period lifted the Vancouver Canucks to a 2-1 victory over the Florida Panthers on Friday night.
