WASHINGTON -- Olie Kolzig made 38 saves to get Washington into a shootout and then made two more stops in the tie-breaker. Alexander Ovechkin and Petr Sykora scored during the shootout for Washington. Vincent Lecavalier, who had his fourth goal of the season in regulation, was the only Lightning player to beat Kolzig in the extra session. Kolzig turned aside Martin St. Louis and Brad Richards to seal the victory. Lecavalier also added an assist, and Vaclav Prospal netted his fourth goal for the defending Stanley Cup champion Lightning. Tampa Bay held a 40-14 shots advantage but couldn't score on Kolzig after the first period. Chris Clark and Dainius Zubrus each scored for Washington with assists from Steve Eminger.
Wild 4, Mighty Ducks 1
ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Manny Fernandez made 28 saves and Minnesota's power play clicked again. Brian Rolston and Filip Kuba had power-play goals in the first period for the Wild, who were 2-for-8 on the power play and are 9-for-19 with the man advantage at home. Marc Chouinard had three assists, and Pierre-Marc Bouchard and Kyle Wanvig also scored for the Wild, who took advantage of a lackluster night from goaltender J.S. Giguere. Giguere made just 15 saves and was pulled for Ilja Bryzgalov after giving up a breakaway goal to Wanvig midway through the third period. Fernandez lost his chance for his 11th career shutout when Bruno St. Jacques scored with 13.5 seconds remaining.
