ROUNDUP | SUNDAY'S OTHER GAMES



Coyotes 2, Bruins 1, OT
BOSTON -- Mike Johnson scored Phoenix's only goal in regulation -- his fifth in three games -- and Ladislav Nagy took the puck the length of the ice for the winner in overtime. The Coyotes have won three consecutive games, with Johnson scoring two goals in each of the previous two. He had just one on Sunday, tying it 24 seconds into a Phoenix power play at 1:06 of the third period. Nagy won it 30 seconds into overtime. Curtis Joseph stopped 18 shots for the Coyotes, who hadn't won in Boston since 1996.
Blackhawks 5, Thrashers 4, OT
ATLANTA -- Pavel Vorobiev had two goals in regulation and added another in the shootout, leading Chicago over Atlanta. Michael Holmqvist beat Atlanta goaltender Michael Garnett for the Blackhawks' third and deciding score in the five-round shootout. Ilya Kovalchuk scored his 18th and 19th goals in regulation for Atlanta, which has lost six of seven. The Blackhawks have won two straight and have played four consecutive overtime games. Marc Savard finished with a goal and two assists for the Thrashers. Playing in his 500th NHL game, Blackhawks goalie Nikolai Khabibulin stopped 33 shots as he improved to 7-5 in his last 12 starts. Garnett made 28 saves.
Sabres 3, Wild 2
ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Mike Grier scored two goals and Martin Biron won his 10th straight start for Buffalo. Grier netted the winner with 3:32 remaining when he tipped Chris Drury's shot while standing in front of the net. Biron, who made 34 saves, hasn't lost since Nov. 12 at Ottawa. Since then, the Sabres are 11-1-1 including seven straight road wins. The last NHL goalie to win 10 consecutive starts was Detroit's Dominik Hasek in 2001-02. Brian Rolston had a goal and an assist for Minnesota, which returned home following a 1-3-1 road trip in which the Wild scored just 11 goals.
