DUCKS 4, PENGUINS
2
PITTSBURGH -- Adam Henrique and Ryan Getzlaf each
had a goal and an assist, and the Anaheim Ducks rallied
past the Pittsburgh
Penguins 4-2 on Monday night.
The Ducks won for the ninth time in 10 games despite
spotting the Penguins a two-goal lead. Henrique started the comeback with a
power-play goal early in the second period and Getzlaf's empty net tally in the
final minute pushed Anaheim to its sixth straight road win. Ondrej Kase
and Kiefer
Sherwood also scored for the Ducks.
John Gibson,
a Pittsburgh native, stopped 28 shots, including the final 24 he faced to pick
up the victory in his hometown.
Evgeni Malkin got
his 11th goal of the season for Pittsburgh and Bryan Rust added
his sixth but the Penguins couldn't cool off the Ducks. Casey DeSmith finished
with 32 saves but lost for only the third time in his last 11 starts.
BLUE JACKETS 1, GOLDEN KNIGHTS 0
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Nick Foligno scored
40 seconds into the third period, Sergei
Bobrovsky made 28 saves and Columbus beat Vegas.
Foligno found the rebound after Seth Jones'
shot and knocked it past goalie Malcolm
Subban from the doorstep.
Bobrovsky got his 25th career shutout and first this season.
He repelled a late attack by the Golden Knights after Subban was pulled for an
extra skater with a minute left.
Subban performed well starting in place of Marc-Andre
Fleury in the second game of a back-to-back. He made 30 saves.
ISLANDERS 4, AVALANCHE 1
DENVER -- Goaltender Thomas Greiss bottled
up Colorado's fast-flying offense and Johnny
Boychuk scored his first goal of the season for New York.
Jordan Eberle and Anders Lee also
scored while Valtteri
Filppula added an empty-netter as the Islanders began a
four-game trip in fine fashion. Greiss made 30 saves and helped put an end
to Mikko Rantanen's
string of 14 straight games with at least a point. The streak was tied for the
Avalanche's third-longest since the team moved to town in 1995-96.
Gabriel
Landeskog scored Colorado's only goal.
Semyon
Varlamov struggled yet again, allowing three goals on 20 shots.
He's surrendered 21 over his last five appearances.
SENATORS 4, PREDATORS 3, OT
OTTAWA, Ontario -- Thomas Chabot scored
21 seconds into overtime and Ottawa recovered after blowing a three-goal lead.
Ottawa led 3-0 after the first period, but Roman Josi got
two goals and Craig Smith also
scored to tie it for Nashville.
Maxime Lajoie, Brady Tkachuk and Ryan Dzingel scored
for the Senators, who handed Nashville its first loss against an Eastern
Conference opponent. Craig
Anderson stopped 31 shots.
Pekka Rinne started
in net for Nashville but was pulled after allowing three goals on 11 shots.
That ended his seven-game unbeaten streak against the Senators. Juuse Saros relieved
and made 11 saves.
BRUINS 4, CANADIENS 0
MONTREAL -- Jaroslav
Halak stopped 22 shots for his third shutout of the season and
Boston beat Montreal.
Joakim
Nordstrom, Colby Cave, David Krejci and Brad Marchand scored
for the Bruins, who snapped a two-game skid. Boston was on the second game of a
back-to-back after losing 4-2 in Buffalo on Sunday.
Halak improved to 5-0-0 when facing former teammate Carey Price,
and helped the Bruins leapfrog the Canadiens for the first wild-card spot in
the Eastern Conference.
Price, vying for his 300th career victory, finished with 31
saves as the Canadiens lost for just the second time in seven games.
