Vegas goaltender Malcolm Subban, who finished
with 22 saves, stopped a backhand shot by Aleksander Barkov with
his glove but the puck then fluttered near the crossbar, where
Golden Knights center William Karlsson swatted it right to
Ekblad in the slot. The fourth-year veteran fired it past Subban
for the game-winner.
Barkov had a goal and two assists and Jamie McGinn and Evgenii
Dadonov also scored goals for Florida. James Reimer, starting
his 17th consecutive game and playing in his 19th consecutive
game in goal for the Panthers, finished with 33 saves.
Karlsson, David Perron and James Neal scored for Western
Conference-leading Vegas, which drew within one point of Tampa
Bay for best record in the NHL.
Canadiens 3, Capitals 2
Max Pacioretty finished with two goals and an assist, and Paul
Byron scored the tie-breaking goal midway through the third
period as Montreal won at Washington.
Pacioretty's first goal gave the Canadiens a 1-0 lead in the
second period but his assist in the third helped Montreal snap a
three-game losing streak.
Ducks 2, Kings 1
Ryan Kesler's tip-in at 12:21 of the third period Friday night
snapped a tie and led Anaheim to a 2-1 win over Los Angeles at
the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.
It was the third goal this season for Kesler, who got a piece of
Francois Beauchemin's point blast as Anaheim tied its southern
California rival with 53 points, just one out of a playoff spot.
It was Los Angeles' sixth consecutive loss.
