NHL ROUNDUP Tuesday's games

Thrashers 2, Islanders 2
ATLANTA -- Marc Savard scored early in the third period and the Atlanta Thrashers twice came back from one-goal deficits to tie the New York Islanders. Atlanta (2-0-1) still has the best start in franchise history, an amazing beginning following a tragic preseason. Dan Snyder died from injuries sustained in a car wreck that also injured All-Star teammate Dany Heatley, who was driving and subsequently charged with vehicular homicide. Frantisek Kaberle had a great chance to give Atlanta its third straight victory, skating in alone on Rick DiPietro. But Kaberle, a defenseman, didn't get enough on the shot, and DiPietro slapped it away. Eric Cairns gave the Islanders a 2-1 lead off an assist from Sven Butenschon midway through the second period. Mark Parrish scored 35 seconds into the first period and Patrik Stefan tied it for Atlanta early in the second.
Canadiens 5, Capitals 1
MONTREAL -- Yanic Perreault had two goals and an assist, and Donald Audette also had three points as Montreal won its home opener. Audette, Andreas Dackell and Stephane Quintal also scored for Montreal, which has won two straight while outscoring opponents 9-1 since a season-opening 5-2 loss in Ottawa on Thursday. Fresh from his 18th career shutout Saturday in Toronto, Jose Theodore stopped 16 shots for the Canadiens, who were founded in 1909 -- eight years before the NHL was formed. They are 53-19-15 in home openers since the NHL began in 1917. Robert Lang scored for Washington, which played without suspended forward Mike Grier. Alexander Semin assisted on Lang's goal in his NHL debut as he joined fellow 19-year-old players Boyd Gordon and Steve Eminger in Washington's lineup. The Capitals are 0-2-1 since a 6-1 victory over the New York Islanders in their opener Thursday.
Flames 1, Oilers 0
CALGARY, Alberta -- Blair Betts scored midway through the second period and Jamie McLennan made 19 saves to extend his shutout streak to over 97 minutes as Calgary beat Edmonton. Betts scored at 10:06 with one second left on a Flames power play. McLennan made his first start of the season in place of Roman Turek, who was still feeling the effects after being accidentally kneed in the head by San Jose's Alyn McCauley on Saturday. McLennan stopped all nine shots he faced in 37 minutes after relieving Turek on Saturday. The shutout was his first since March 21, 2001, when he blanked Nashville while with Minnesota.
