David Perron scored three third-period goals to help lead the
Detroit Red Wings to a 7-4 home win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on
Tuesday.
Perron scored two goals in a span of 45 seconds to give Detroit a
6-4 lead with 2:55 remaining in the game. First, while on a power
play, Perron fired a shot from the left faceoff circle that went
through the legs of Pittsburgh goalie Casey DeSmith to make it 5-4
with 3:40 left. Perron then fluttered a backhand shot underneath the
crossbar with 2:55 to go.
Dylan Larkin added an empty-net goal for Detroit with 36.9 seconds
left. Larkin also had two assists for a three-point night for the
Red Wings.
Four different players scored for the Penguins, and Evgeni Malkin
and Rickard Rakell each had two assists. Pittsburgh lost for the
sixth time in eight games. Jason Zucker, Jake Guentzel and Jeff
Carter each had a goal in the second period to erase the Penguins'
3-0 deficit.
Blues 6, Canucks 5 (OT)

Justin Faulk had a goal and two assists and Pavel Buchnevich added a
goal and an assist for the Blues, who won for the fifth time in
seven games (5-1-1).
Quinn Hughes logged two goals and an assist and Andrei Kuzmenko also
scored twice for the Canucks. Brock Boeser had a goal and two
assists as the Canucks lost for only the third time in 13 games
(10-2-1).
Sharks 3, Jets 0
James Reimer made 41 saves and Noah Gregor had a goal and an assist
as San Jose recorded a shutout win over visiting Winnipeg.
The victory ended San Jose's nine-game (0-6-3) winless streak,
avoiding the eighth double-digit winless drought in Sharks franchise
history. Reimer collected his third shutout of the season. Kevin
Labanc and Martin Kaut scored the Sharks' other goals, both in the
third period.
Winnipeg missed another chance to solidify its playoff position. The
Jets are 5-6-1 with three shutout losses and only 24 goals scored in
their last 12 games.
Oilers 7, Golden Knights 4
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins had a goal and four assists, Connor McDavid had
three assists and Leon Draisaitl added a goal and an assist as
Edmonton cruised in Las Vegas.
It was the second five-point game of Nugent-Hopkins' career. Evander
Kane scored the 300th goal of his career and Zach Hyman, Darnell
Nurse, Evan Bouchard and Brett Kulak also scored for Edmonton.
Stuart Skinner finished with 18 saves as the Oilers extended their
point streak to eight games (7-0-1).

four-game winning streak snapped. Alex Pietrangelo had two assists
and William Karlsson and Michael Amadio also scored, while Jonathan

Predators 2, Bruins 1
Juuse Saros made 35 saves as Nashville won in Boston, handing the
Bruins a rare regulation loss at home and ending their seven-game
winning streak.
Cody Glass had a goal and also assisted on Cole Smith's empty-netter
for Nashville, which lost its previous two games. Boston broke Saros'
shutout bid with 0.3 seconds left when David Pastrnak buried a
turnaround shot at the left crease for his 52nd goal of the season.
Linus Ullmark stopped 21 shots, but Boston lost in regulation for
just the fourth time this season on home ice (30-4-3). The Bruins
need 14 points in their last eight games to set the NHL's
single-season record for points, a mark currently held by the
1976-77 Montreal Canadiens (132 points).
Lightning 4, Hurricanes 0
Andrei Vasilevskiy made 31 saves and Brayden Point provided two
goals and an assist as Tampa Bay snapped a four-game losing streak
with a much-needed victory against Carolina in Raleigh, N.C.

Steven Stamkos added a goal and two assists for the
Lightning. Alex Killorn's empty-net goal came with 4:21 remaining.
Vasilevskiy's third shutout of the season came in a thorough
performance as the Lightning kept the Hurricanes in check. He made

ending a four-game homestand with a frustrating result. Pyotr
Kochetkov made 17 saves.
Rangers 6, Blue Jackets 2
Patrick Kane capped a three-goal flurry in the first period as host
New York continued its roll by clobbering Columbus.
The Rangers improved to 9-1-1 in their past 11 contests and moved
within two points of the second-place New Jersey Devils in the
Metropolitan Division. Filip Chytil and Vladimir Tarasenko scored
before Kane netted his fifth goal since being acquired from the
Chicago Blackhawks on Feb. 28. Artemi Panarin and Vincent Trocheck
also tallied goals.
Kiril Marchenko scored his 20th goal to match the Columbus rookie
record set by Pierre-Luc Dubois in 2017-18. Johnny Gaudreau set up
Marchenko's power-play goal and then scored late in the first.
Flyers 3, Canadiens 2
Morgan Frost scored two goals, Owen Tippett added another and host
Philadelphia defeated Montreal.
It was the fourth consecutive victory for the Flyers. Philadelphia
goaltender Felix Sandstrom made 27 saves. Sandstrom was a late
addition to the lineup following an injury to Carter Hart. Brendan
Gallagher and Rafael Harvey-Pinard each scored for the Canadiens.
Canadiens goaltender Cayden Primeau stopped 24 shots.

Frost scored the go-ahead goal at 17:45 of the third period when he
skated up the side, weaved around a couple defenders and flipped a
wrist shot into the net. Primeau was then pulled for an extra skater
and Tippett capitalized with an empty-net goal at 18:14 for a 3-1
advantage. Harvey-Pinard closed Montreal within 3-2 with only 22.4
seconds remaining.
Stars 4, Blackhawks 1
Four different players scored and Jake Oettinger made 17 saves to
lead Dallas past host Chicago.
Tyler Seguin, Colin Miller, Joe Pavelski and Luke Glendening tallied
for the Stars, who are one point behind the Central Division-leading
Minnesota Wild and are tied in points with the second-place Colorado
Avalanche, who hold a game in hand.
Tyler Johnson scored for the Blackhawks, who have lost six straight.
Alex Stalock made 26 saves before he was given a game misconduct at
16:32 of the third period. Petr Mrazek stopped all three shots he
faced in relief.
Flames 2, Kings 1
Jacob Markstrom sparkled in net, backstopping host Calgary past Los
Angeles, ending the Kings' franchise-record point streak.
Andrew Mangiapane and Walker Duehr scored for the Flames while
Markstrom made 32 saves in one of his best performances of the
season. Calgary is just outside the final Western Conference playoff
spot with seven games remaining.
