AROUND THE NHL Monday's games



Rangers 4, Panthers 0
NEW YORK -- Jaromir Jagr scored twice on two-man power plays in a 42-second span, and Henrik Lundqvist made 23 saves for his first NHL shutout in the New York Rangers' victory over the Florida Panthers.
Jagr scored his fifth and sixth goals of the season -- all on the power play -- on nearly identical plays late in the second period to help the Atlantic Division-leading Rangers tie Ottawa for the top spot in the Eastern Conference with 10 points.
Petr Prucha added his first NHL goal and fellow rookie Fedor Tyutin also scored for New York, which has earned points in all but one of its seven games this season. The Rangers are 4-1-2 overall and 3-0-1 at home.
Lundqvist, starting for the Rangers with Kevin Weekes sidelined by a groin injury, has won three straight games after opening his NHL career with an overtime loss to New Jersey.
Red Wings 3, Sharks 2, OT
DETROIT -- Jiri Fischer's goal with 50.9 seconds left in overtime gave the Red Wings a win over the Sharks.
Fischer's wrist shot from the top of the left circle beat Sharks' goalie Evgeni Nabokov just under the crossbar. It was his third goal of the season.
Brendan Shanahan and Mikael Samuelsson both scored power-play goals for the Red Wings, who improved to 6-1-0. Goaltender Manny Legace made 26 saves for Detroit.
Nils Ekman and Marco Sturm had goals for San Jose and Nabokov stopped 31 shots.
