ROUNDUP | Wednesday's other games



Hurricanes 5, Sabres 3
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Martin Gerber tied his career-high with 41 saves and Erik Cole scored on one of two penalty shots in the Hurricanes' franchise-record eighth straight victory. The streak eclipsed the seven-game winning streak set 20 years ago when the team was located in Hartford. Ray Whitney, Michael Zigomanis, Frantisek Kaberle and Justin Williams also scored for the Hurricanes, who haven't lost in regulation since Oct. 8, winning 10 of 11 games since. Cole was awarded a penalty shot while the Hurricanes were short-handed in the third period after being hauled down from behind by Buffalo's Jochen Hecht. The goal gave Carolina a 4-1 lead. Later in the third, Cole was hooked by Dmitri Kalinin and was awarded another penalty shot, but was foiled by Martin Biron. Thomas Vanek scored twice, including his first career goal, for Buffalo, which lost its fourth straight.
Rangers 4, Panthers 3, SO
SUNRISE, Fla. -- Petr Prucha scored the only goal in the shoot-out to give New York the victory. Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist stopped all four shots by the Panthers in the shootout. Florida's Roberto Luongo stopped three before Prucha scored with a wrist shot over his glove. Dominic Moore of the Rangers tied the game 4-4 with three seconds left in the third period. Steve Rucchin and Martin Straka also scored for the Rangers, who began a five-game road trip, their longest of the season. Stephen Weiss, Olli Jokinen and Anthony Stewart scored for Florida, which was playing at home for the first time since Oct. 20. The Panthers had to postpone two home games because of Hurricane Wilma. Florida, which had played its previous six games on the road, has lost six straight (0-3-3). Lundqvist stopped 38 shots in regulation and overtime, while Luongo made 37 saves.
Red Wings 5, Kings 4, OT
DETROIT -- Robert Lang scored 1:39 into overtime to give Detroit the victory. Tomas Holmstrom added two goals for the Red Wings to give him seven in his last four games. Steve Yzerman and Johan Franzen each had a goal for the Red Wings and Dan Cleary and Mathieu Schneider each had two assists.
Alexander Frolov had a goal and an assist for Los Angeles, while Mike Cammalleri, Jeremy Roenick and Craig Conroy each had a goal. Lang scored his sixth goal of the season by putting in a cross-crease pass from Andreas Lilja. Frolov tied the game 4-4 with 3:48 left in regulation.
