NHL ROUNDUP | Tuesday's games
Red Wings 5, Devils 2
DETROIT -- Brendan Shanahan had two goals and moved into 15th place on the NHL's career list to lead Detroit. Shanahan began the game tied with Mike Bossy among the top goal scorers in league history. He made it 1-1 in the first period, and his 575th goal got the Red Wings even at 2 in the second. Detroit's Tomas Holmstrom and Jason Williams scored late in the second, giving Detroit a two-goal lead, and Steve Yzerman made it 5-2 midway through the third. The crowd chanted "Stev-ie! Stev-ie!" for the captain, whose decision to pull his name from consideration for Team Canada at the upcoming Olympics in Italy became public earlier in the day. It was Yzerman's fourth goal of the season and 682nd career. The Red Wings avoided losing three straight at home for the first time since the 1996-97 season. Viktor Kozlov and Zach Parise scored for the Devils, who had won four of five.
Kings 2, Maple Leafs 1
TORONTO -- Dustin Brown scored twice and the Los Angeles Kings ended a four-game losing streak. Mathieu Garon made 36 saves for the Kings, who salvaged the last game of a four-game Eastern road trip. Darcy Tucker scored for the Maple Leafs, who went just 1-for-9 on the power play.
Islanders 6, Blues 3
ST. LOUIS -- Mike York scored two goals and added three assists for his second career five-point game, lifting New York. York, who entered the game with 13 points, also had five points on Jan. 23, 2002, against Boston when he played for the New York Rangers. Mark Parrish added two goals and reached two milestones. His first gave him 150 NHL goals and 100 with the Islanders. Jason Blake and Arron Asham also scored, and Rick DiPietro made 31 saves for New York, 7-3-1 in its last 11 games. The Islanders have won four straight road games for the first time since 2001.
Flyers 1, Flames 0, SO
PHILADELPHIA -- Mike Richards scored the lone goal and Philadelphia goalie Antero Niittymaki was perfect through regulation, overtime and the shootout to lift the Flyers. It was the NHL's first scoreless game decided by shootout. Only one other game this season went to overtime without a goal, but San Jose scored in the extra session to win 1-0 at Anaheim on Nov. 4.
