LIGHTNINGS 5, DEVILS 2
Tampa Bay blitzed visiting New
Jersey for the second time in less than a month as four different forwards
scored on four of the first seven shots in the Lightning’s 5-2 win over the
Devils on Sunday.
The Lightning exploded Friday
for three goals in the first 10 minutes of a 4-2 home win over the Chicago
Blackhawks, and they bettered that output Sunday, scoring four times in the
opening 11:25 against Devils goalie Cory Schneider.
Tampa Bay won the previous
meeting against the Devils on Oct. 30 in an 8-3 rout — one of two games this
season when the Lightning registered eight goals. On Sunday, Brayden Point
scored twice, and Alex Killorn, Tyler Johnson and Cedric Paquette also had
goals for the Lightning, who won their third straight.
Point added an assist for a
three-point game, Nikita Kucherov had two assists, and goalie Louis Domingue
made 33 saves. Jesper Bratt and Stefan Noesen scored for New Jersey.
FLAMES 6, COYOTES 1
Defenseman Noah Hanifin scored
his first two goals of the season, Mark Jankowski added two goals, and Calgary
had three short-handed tallies in a win over Arizona in Glendale, Ariz.
Sean Monahan scored his 13th
goal of the year, TJ Brodie had a goal and an assist and Mike Smith made 28
saves for Calgary. Johnny Gaudreau and Mark Giordano each had an assist, giving
both 19 for the Flames this season.
Clayton Keller scored an
unassisted goal at 13:44 of the third period for the Coyotes, who have lost
four in a row and eight of 10. They lost the final four games of a five-game
homestand.
PREDATORS 5, DUCKS 2
Austin Watson recorded his
first career hat trick as Nashville defeated visiting Anaheim, winning its
sixth straight game at home and fourth in the past five games overall.
Nick Bonino had a goal and an
assist, Colton Sissons and Roman Josi had two assists each, and Pekka Rinne
made 17 saves for the Predators.
Adam Henrique and Ondrej Kase
scored for the Ducks, who opened a five-game road trip after playing 11 of the
previous 13 games at home. John Gibson made 28 saves.
KINGS 5, OILERS 2
Anze Kopitar scored the
game-winning goal to cap a three-point outing, and Dustin Brown collected a hat
trick as host Los Angeles snapped a two-game losing skid by beating Edmonton.
With the score tied 2-2 after
two periods, Derek Forbort made a great pass to spring Kopitar on a breakaway,
and the Kings captain snapped a blocker-side shot into the net at the 4:27 mark
of the third period for his seventh goal of the season.
Cal Petersen, who made 32
saves, held strong between the pipes the rest of the way for the Kings — who
sit last in the league — before Brown and Matt Luff iced the affair with
empty-net goals into final minute. Alex Chiasson scored twice for the Oilers,
who got 27 saves from Cam Talbot.
