NHL ROUNDUP Thursday's other games

Flames 2, Blue Jackets 1
CALGARY, Alberta -- Marcus Nilson scored the winning goal and had an assist in Calgary's victory over Columbus. Steve Reinprecht also scored for the Flames, who won consecutive games for the first time this season to improve to 6-7-2. David Vyborny scored the lone goal for Columbus, and Marc Denis kept the game close by stopping 29 shots. The Blue Jackets, 1-7 on the road, have lost three straight to drop to 4-10-0 overall. Vyborny scored his third goal of the season 59 seconds into the second period to give the Blue Jackets a 1-0 lead. With Calgary goalie Miikka Kiprusoff down on the ice, Vyborny wristed a shot over the fallen goalie's outstretched glove. The Flames tied it at 3:09 of the third period when Reinprecht kicked a rebound onto his stick and slid the puck past Denis, who was playing with a defenseman's stick after losing his own. Nilson scored his first goal of the season at 10:36. Chuck Kobasew took the initial shot, which Denis batted out of the air toward Nilson who was skating hard to the net. The puck bounced off both Nilson and Denis and across the goal line before the net came off its moorings. After scoring a power-play goal in seven straight games, the Flames went 0-for-7 with the man advantage. Columbus was 0-for-3.
Flyers 8, Capitals 1
PHILADELPHIA -- Jeff Carter, Simon Gagne and Jon Sim each scored twice, Mike Knuble and Peter Forsberg also scored and Robert Esche had 29 saves for the Flyers. Philadelphia has won three of its last four games and five straight at home. Chris Clark had the only goal for Washington, which has lost six of eight. The Capitals haven't won in Philadelphia since 1998, going 0-14-1 in that span. The Flyers, already missing captain Keith Primeau because of a concussion, lost defenseman Eric Desjardins to a concussion. His status wasn't immediately known.

RALEIGH, N.C. -- Erik Cole scored with 1:34 left in regulation as Carolina rallied to win its sixth consecutive game. Eric Staal regained the NHL scoring lead with two goals and an assist, and Cole added an assist to help Carolina (9-2-1) improve to 6-0 at home. Alexander Steen had a pair of goals and an assist for the Maple Leafs, who lost for the third time in four games. Matt Stajan added a goal and an assist.

Rangers 4, Devils 2
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Jaromir Jagr scored his NHL-leading 13th and 14th goals of the season and Michael Nylander also had two goals for New York. Kevin Weekes made 30 saves in his first appearance since giving up three goals on the first three shots in the Rangers' 5-4 loss to the New York Islanders on Oct. 20. Jamie Langenbrunner and Brian Gionta scored for New Jersey, and Scott Clemmensen made 21 saves in his fourth straight start while Martin Brodeur recovers from a sprained right knee.

Senators 4, Lightning 2
OTTAWA -- Martin Havlat and Daniel Alfredsson scored goals for Ottawa, one night after each tied the team record with four goals. Dany Heatley, who scored Ottawa's other two goals in a 10-4 victory in Buffalo on Wednesday night, assisted on Alfredsson's first-period goal to extend his team-record points streak to 12 games to begin the season. The Senators moved ahead of idle Montreal for first place in the Northeast Division and the Eastern Conference with 20 points. Wade Redden and Mike Fisher also scored for the Senators, and Dominik Hasek stopped 31 shots to improve to 7-2-0. Vincent Lecavalier and Brad Richards scored power-play goals for Tampa Bay.
Avalanche 4, Mighty Ducks 3
DENVER -- Antti Laaksonen scored two goals and Joe Sakic moved into a tie for 14th place on the NHL's career points list, helping Colorado beat Anaheim. Sakic put Colorado up 3-1 in the second period, tying Doug Gilmour with his 1,414th point, and Laaksonen sealed Colorado's fourth straight win on a short-handed goal with 4:42 left -- one of numerous defensive breakdowns by the Ducks.
Coyotes 4, Kings 0
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Curtis Joseph stopped the streaking Kings with his second shutout this season, and Phoenix responded to coach Wayne Gretzky's tongue-lashing. Joseph, who made a season-high 36 saves in a 5-3 loss at Dallas on Saturday, benefited from strong defense this time. Against a team that entered third in the NHL in goals (49), he faced only 21 shots in his 45th career shutout. Defenseman Paul Mara had a goal and two assists to help Phoenix score a season-high four goals in regulation for the fourth time. Shane Doan and Mike Leclerc had a power-play goal and an assist each, and Krys Kolanos also scored for the Coyotes.
