Goals by Daniel Alfredsson, Martin Havlat, Brian Pothier and Josh Langfeld staked Ottawa to a 4-0 lead.

Blues 2, Flames 1
CALGARY, Alberta -- The Blues snapped an eight-game winless streak on Scott Mellanby's goal with 4:15 remaining. Calgary had a power play for the final two minutes of the game, and had a 6-on-4 advantage with Turek pulled for an extra skater for the last minute. But the Flames didn't get a shot on goal.

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- All-Star Patrick Marleau scored his team-leading 23rd goal as the Sharks won their fourth straight home game.
