Goalie Mike Smith stopped 38 shots for the
Flames, who go into their bye week after running the table on a
four-game road trip and vaulting into second place in the
Pacific Division.
Johnny Gaudreau, who had a pair of helpers, is riding a
seven-game point streak, in which he's collected two goals and
11 assists, while Hamilton is on a five-game run with four goals
and six points.
Flames captain Mark Giordano was handed a match penalty and game
misconduct after hitting Sebastian Aho and knocking him from the
game, which might result in a suspension.
Canucks 3, Wild 2 (OT)
Brandon Sutter's overtime goal gave Vancouver a 3-2 comeback
victory over Minnesota in St. Paul.
Sutter was a hero in his first game back after missing 21 games
with a problem in his mid-section. He took Alex Edler's long
pass from behind the net just outside the Wild blue line, eluded
a defender, and beat Devan Dubnyk with a shot from the slot.
Penguins 5, Rangers 2
Phil Kessel's second-period wrister beat Henrik Lundqvist and
accounted for his 700th career NHL point and the decisive tally
in Pittsburgh's 5-2 victory against New York at PPG Paints Arena
in Pittsburgh.
Kessel's goal, his 20th of the season, was the Penguins' second
goal in a span of 1:15 after Dominik Simon's first tally of the
season at 13:15 of the second tied the game at 2. Patric
Hornqvist, Sidney Crosby and Carl Hagelin each added a goal for
the Penguins, who rattled off their fourth straight victory and
improved to 5-1-0 since the calendar flipped.
Red Wings 4, Blackhawks 0
Petr Mrazek stopped all 27 shots he faced for his second shutout
of the season and the 12th of his career, and Detroit cruised
past host Chicago.
Dylan Larkin, Mike Green, Anthony Mantha and Tyler Bertuzzi each
scored as Detroit snapped a two-game skid. The Red Wings shut
out an opponent for the second time in 43 games.
Chicago was held scoreless for the third time this season. The
Blackhawks have lost two of their past three games.
