Miller had been stopped on a breakaway with 6:15 remaining, but
then ended a 27-game goal drought by scoring for the first time
since Nov. 21.
The Rangers won for the 10th time in 15 games and avoided their
second three-game losing streak of the season despite blowing a
two-goal lead for the third straight game.
Miller scored his third goal of the season after Seattle tied
the score at 2-2 on Yanni Gourde's one-timer during a power-play
from the left faceoff circle with 68 seconds remaining.
Mika Zibanejad had a power-play goal and two assists and Alexis
Lafreniere scored as the Rangers won for the sixth time in seven
games. Jared McCann and Gourde scored for Seattle.

Trevor Moore scored his second goal of the game in the third
period to give visiting Los Angeles a win over Pittsburgh,
snapping the Penguins' eight-game point streak.
After the Kings blew a two-goal lead in the third for a 3-3 tie,
Moore came off the bench and got behind the Pittsburgh defense
for a breakaway. He shot the puck over goaltender Tristan
Jarry's glove at 13:21. Alex Iafallo and Drew Doughty also
scored, and Anze Kopitar had two assists for the Kings, who
improved to 3-0-2 in their past five games.

finished with a pair of goals and an assist against his former
team as the Stars toppled visiting Boston.
The former No. 2 overall pick by the Bruins in the 2010 draft
opened the scoring with his unassisted goal on a tap-in at 6:54
of the first period. Seguin netted his second goal of the game
and 14th of the season at 18:53 of the third. Roope Hintz added
his team-leading 20th goal and Alexander Radulov, Luke
Glendening and Jamie Benn also scored for the Stars.

made 12 saves.
Blue Jackets 6, Canadiens 3
Patrik Laine scored twice, including one of Columbus' four
first-period goals, and the visiting Blue Jackets extended
Montreal's winless streak to six games with a victory.
Jack Roslovic, Eric Robinson and rookie Yegor Chinakhov also
scored a goal in the first, and fellow rookie Cole Sillinger
added a key third-period score for the Blue Jackets, who won
back-to-back contests for the first time since a three-game run
Nov. 22-26.
Artturi Lehkonen had a goal with two assists while All-Star Nick
Suzuki and Tyler Toffoli recorded one of each for the lowly
Canadiens, who are mired in an 0-4-2 rut and allowed 26 goals in

for the second straight night after allowing three goals on
seven shots in a little more than 10 minutes.

period for visiting Minnesota, who held off a furious comeback
by New York to earn a win in Elmont, N.Y.

their fifth straight and improved to 8-0-1 in their last nine
games despite being outshot 43-21. Goalie Kaapo Kahkonen made 40
saves.
