(The Sports Xchange) - Highlights of National Hockey League
games on Tuesday:
Wild 3, Flyers 0
Goalie Devan Dubnyk's career- and franchise-record shutout streak
continued on Tuesday as the Minnesota Wild beat the Philadelphia
Flyers 3-0.
Dubnyk stopped all 30 shots he faced for his third consecutive
shutout, running his streak without giving up a goal to 195:05.
Dubnyk has now stopped the past 106 shots he has faced.
Left winger Nino Niederreiter scored on Minnesota's first shot of
the game. Eric Staal and Jason Zucker added empty-net goals as the
Wild ran their winning streak to three in a row.
Niederreiter, playing in his 400th career NHL game, ripped a low
wrist shot past Elliott just 12 seconds into the game. Zucker was on
the ice for the goal, but did not score it, breaking a streak of six
straight Minnesota goals he had scored over the previous three
games.
Oilers 8, Golden Knights 2
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Connor McDavid each scored twice in
Edmonton's easy victory over Vegas.

Oscar Klefbom, Patrick Maroon, Matt Benning and Mark Letestu added
goals as the lowest-scoring team in the NHL erupted for a
season-high goal total in winning at home for only the fourth time
in 10 games. Cam Talbot made 22 saves for the Oilers.
The Knights came into Edmonton with only two wins in their previous
seven games (2-4-1) and their No. 4 goaltender Maxime Lagace, who
gave up seven goals on 29 shots.
Junior goalie Dylan Ferguson, on an emergency call-up, allowed a
goal and made a save in the last nine minutes.
Penguins 5, Sabres 4 (overtime)
Conor Sheary scored his second goal of the game 16 seconds into
overtime as Pittsburgh continued its domination of Buffalo.
The Penguins have a 13-game point streak against the Sabres, who
have not won against Pittsburgh since April 23, 2013.
Sidney Crosby ended an 11-game goal drought, while Phil Kessel and
Patrick Hornqvist also scored for the Penguins. Matt Murray made 28
saves.
Jack Eichel halted an eight-game goal drought for Buffalo. Sam
Reinhart had a goal and two assists, and Evander Kane and Benoit
Pouliot also scored for the Sabres. Robin Lehner stopped 40 shots.
Predators 6, Capitals 3
Filip Forsberg scored his 100th career goal as part of Nashville's
four-goal second period in its fifth straight victory.
Forsberg snapped a five-game goal-less drought on a wrister that hit
off a defender's skate and skittered by Braden Holtby at 6:45 for
his ninth goal. It occurred 17 seconds after Alex Chiasson tied the
score at 2 with a sizzling one-timer for his second goal of the
year.
The teams combined for five goals in a 4:52 stretch of the period,
with Washington's T.J. Oshie netting two to bring the Capitals
within 4-3. Miikka Salomaki and Mattias Ekholm, though, restored
control for the Predators.

over Montreal.

Pouliot had two assists and Anders Nilsson made 30 saves in his
first appearance since Oct. 26.
Tanner Pearson and Anze Kopitar scored in the first 3:14 to give the
Kings a 2-0 lead, and Los Angeles outshot the Canucks 7-0 through
the initial 9 1/2 minutes. The Kings came in with the No. 1
penalty-kill unit in the NHL at 91.9 percent, but the Canucks went
2-for-3 on the power play after coming in 2-for-21 over their past
six games.
Panthers 4, Stars 3 (shootout)
Aleksander Barkov and Vincent Trocheck scored in the shootout to
lift Florida over Dallas.

wins list with 456, made 40 saves.
