AROUND THE NHL | Tuesday's other games

Maple Leafs 4, Lightning 4
TAMPA, Fla. -- Gary Roberts scored with 44.4 seconds left in the third period. Roberts connected from the low slot, completing a two-goal third-period comeback. The Lightning had taken a 4-2 lead when Vincent Lecavalier and Brad Richards scored 50 seconds apart early in the period. Owen Nolan got the Maple Leafs within 4-3 on a power play at 5:09. Martin St. Louis had a goal and two assists for the Lightning, who had lost nine straight to the Maple Leafs. Tampa Bay is 7-1-1 over the past nine games overall. Mats Sundin and Robert Reichel also scored for Toronto, which is 6-2-1 in its last nine games.
Senators 3, Blues 1
OTTAWA -- Marian Hossa scored two of Ottawa's three first-period goals. Ottawa captain Daniel Alfredsson scored his 25th goal 1:34 in and Josh Langfeld assisted on both of Hossa's goals later in the period. The Senators, who had lost four of five, ended a season-high three-game losing streak. Mike Danton scored midway through the third period for St. Louis, which ended an eight-game winless streak last Thursday with a 2-1 victory in Calgary. The Blues have just three points in their last 10 games (1-8-1).
Panthers 2, Canadiens 1
SUNRISE, Fla. -- Viktor Kozlov set a Florida record with two goals in seven seconds in the second period in interim coach John Torchetti's debut. Torchetti coached his first NHL game after taking over for Rick Dudley, who stepped down Monday to concentrate on his general manager duties. Kozlov's two goals broke the team record of two in 50 seconds by Scott Mellanby on Jan. 25, 1997. Kozlov also helped the Panthers set a franchise record for fastest two goals by the team. The record was eight seconds, set against Buffalo on March 15, 2002.
Kings 3, Wild 1
ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Trent Klatt scored midway though the third period to break a tie. Eric Belanger scored his 11th goal for the Kings and Ian Laperriere added an empty-net goal with less than 26 seconds left in the third period, but Los Angeles' defense was even more impressive. Goalie Roman Cechmanek had plenty of help from his teammates, who swarmed around the net and made every shot difficult for the Wild, who had scored eight goals in two straight victories before the All-Star break.
Flames 5, Thrashers 2
CALGARY, Alberta -- Dean McAmmond and Jarome Iginla each scored twice as the Thrashers' winless streak reached nine games. With the score 2-2, McAmmond scored the winner with 6:41 remaining in regulation. Iginla made it 4-2 when he converted Craig Conroy's pass, and Iginla wrapped up the scoring with his 26th into an empty net with 4 seconds left. Ilya Kovalchuk scored both goals for Atlanta (21-28-6-2), which began a seven-game road trip. The Thrashers have lost five in a row.
Islanders 1, Avalanche 1
DENVER -- Philippe Sauve had two acrobatic saves in overtime, and Islanders goaltender Rick DiPietro was equally effective, making a sprawling save off Steve Konowalchuk in the extra period. DiPietro finished with 36 saves and Sauve 35. Colorado's Paul Kariya and New York's Mariusz Czerkawski had the lone goals, both in the second period.
Flyers 4, Devils 1
PHILADELPHIA -- Rookie Antero Niittymaki stopped 35 shots for his third win in as many starts. Simon Gagne and Danny Markov scored power-play goals, and Michal Handzus and Mark Recchi also scored for Philadelphia, which extended its lead to seven points over New Jersey in the Atlantic Division. The Stanley Cup champion Devils, though, have played three fewer games than the Flyers, who also lead the Eastern Conference. The Flyers have won three in a row and seven of nine. Niittymaki, 23, has allowed just three goals since taking over as the starter after Robert Esche went down with a knee injury last week. The Flyers already were without Jeff Hackett (vertigo) when Esche went down. But Niittymaki might not see much more playing time because Philadelphia acquired veteran goalie Sean Burke from Phoenix on Monday to step in until Esche returns. Hackett retired Monday.
Sabres 2, Sharks 1
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Daniel Briere scored twice and Martin Biron made 27 saves. Briere's second two-goal game of the season helped Buffalo win for the sixth time in the last eight games (6-2-0). Mike Ricci scored for the Sharks, who have never recorded a point in Buffalo since entering the league in 1991 (0-11-0). San Jose is now 8-3-0-1 in its last 12 games, five points in front of the Dallas Stars for first place in the Pacific Division.
