NHL ROUNDUP Monday's games

Canadiens 4, Rangers 1
NEW YORK -- Steve Begin scored a short-handed goal 1:14 after Jaromir Jagr tied it for New York in the third period, and Montreal got four third-period goals to beat the Rangers and earn a split in the home-and-home series. The Canadiens, who lost 5-2 Saturday in Montreal, have won six straight in New York -- including both meetings this season. Saku Koivu gave Montreal a 1-0 lead with a power-play goal 47 seconds into the third period to break up a goaltending duel between the Rangers' Henrik Lundqvist and Canadiens counterpart Jose Theodore, who made 23 saves. But Jagr answered at 9:40 with his NHL-best 12th goal, scored while the Rangers were on a 5-on-3 power play. Jagr extended his point streak to 10 games, notching 10 goals and five assists in the run. Montreal has enjoyed great road success, earning 11 of a possible 12 points away from home.
Maple Leafs 2, Panthers 1
TORONTO -- Alexei Ponikarovsky scored the go-ahead goal midway through the third period and Toronto rebounded from its worst loss in nearly 14 years. Ed Belfour made 31 saves for the Maple Leafs, who lost 8-0 to the rival Ottawa Senators on Saturday night-- their most lopsided loss since Dec. 26, 1991, when Pittsburgh beat them 12-1. Fans booed after Florida's Gary Roberts needed just 26 seconds to score against his former team. Darcy Tucker tied it at 1 on the power play at 5:04 of the first. Jamie McLennan, making his first start of the season, stopped 22 shots for the Panthers.
