six-game losing streak with a victory over visiting Carolina.

receiving the puck from Cam Fowler but elected not to pass and
scored over the pad and below the blocker of Hurricanes goalie
Pyotr Kochetkov for his seventh of the season. Adam Henrique,
Max Comtois and Brett Leason also scored goals for the Ducks,
who avoided matching a season-worst, seven-game losing streak.

games with at least one power-play tally. The Kings are an
outstanding 11-for-20 with the extra attacker during that
seven-game streak.

shots overall as Detroit won for just the third time in its past
21 matches at Tampa Bay -- a 3-18-0 mark.

strength and Adam Erne and David Perron scored into empty nets.
Vasilevskiy stopped 22 of 24 shots and fell to 13-2-0 in his

to 11 games, but the Lightning lost for just the second time in
their past seven home games.
Devils 3, Blackhawks 0

games by beating struggling Chicago in Newark, N.J.
Nico Hischier recorded his 11th goal and Jesper Bratt added his
10th, while Jack Hughes posted two assists to extend his
season-high point streak to six games for the Devils, who have
an NHL-high 43 points and are 5-0-1 since a Nov. 23 loss ended
their 13-game winning streak.
The veteran defenseman Hamilton had two points in his previous
nine games, but he broke out for a season-high three Tuesday.

Tuesday was last shut out in back-to-back contests Jan. 31 and
Feb. 3, 2015.

Robert Thomas all scored a goal apiece for the Blues, who
snapped a four-game losing streak and won for just the second

Canadiens 4, Kraken 2
Cole Caufield and Josh Anderson scored seven seconds apart early
in the second period to break a tie and lead Montreal to a
victory over host Seattle.

Canadiens, who rebounded after blowing a four-goal lead a night
earlier in a 7-6 overtime loss in Vancouver. Goaltender Jake
Allen made 31 saves.
First-round draft pick Shane Wright scored his first NHL goal
and Jared McCann also tallied for the Kraken, who suffered their
second straight loss after a franchise-record seven-game winning
streak. Martin Jones stopped 12 of 16 shots. McCann scored with
less than a second remaining in the period to make it 4-2, but

third.
