ROUNDUP Tuesday's other games



Devils 4, Islanders 0
UNIONDALE, N.Y. -- Martin Brodeur made 24 saves for his fourth shutout of the season and Brian Gionta scored his 29th goal to help New Jersey to its 10th victory in 11 games. Brodeur, seventh on the NHL's career shutout list with 79, improved to 24-15-3 and lowered his goals-against average to 2.59. The Canadian Olympic goalie has all four of his shutouts this season in the last 11 games. Jamie Langenbrunner and Scott Gomez each had a goal and an assist, Viktor Kozlov also scored and Patrik Elias added two assists for the Devils.
Sabres 2, Rangers 1
NEW YORK -- Ales Kotalik had a goal and an assist to lead Buffalo. Kotalik scored 1:53 into the third period after Rangers defenseman Marek Malik gave up the puck in his own end. Kotalik scooped up the loose puck, wheeled and fired a wrist shot that beat Henrik Lundqvist. Ryan Miller made 23 saves for Buffalo. Thomas Vanek gave Buffalo a 1-0 lead with a power-play goal at 11:13 of the first period. Lundqvist stopped Kotalik's slap shot from the left point, but lost sight of the rebound long enough for Vanek to chip the puck high to the glove side for his 13th goal. Jaromir Jagr's 30th goal of the season made it 1-1 at 6:55 of the second period. It was the 14th straight season he has reached 30 goals.
Bruins 3, Thrashers 2
ATLANTA -- P.J. Axelsson scored with 7:02 remaining and Boston handed the Thrashers their third straight loss. Boston spent much of the third period on the power-play, including a couple of two-man advantages. But the teams were at even strength when Axelsson scored his first game-winning goal of the year. The Bruins are playing their best hockey of the season, winning for the fourth time in six games, losing the other two in shootouts. Boston scored a couple of fluky goals off Lehtonen, and the Thrashers picked up one when Boston goalie Tim Thomas knocked the puck into his own net.
Panthers 3, Lightning 2, OT
TAMPA, Fla. -- Olli Jokinen scored twice, including the game-winner with 1:45 left in overtime and Roberto Luongo made 48 saves to lead the Panthers. Luongo was within 4 minutes of his first shutout since opening the season with consecutive blankings before allowing Brad Richards' goal, which appeared to hit off Florida's Chris Gratton, at 16:09. Luongo then allowed Ryan Craig's equalizer from the low slot with 48.3 seconds remaining. Jokinen helped snapped Florida' three-game losing skid on his rebound goal from the left-circle during overtime. The Panthers also got a goal from Gratton.
Predators 2, Red Wings 1, OT
DETROIT -- Paul Kariya's breakaway goal 35 seconds into overtime gave the Predators their second consecutive win in two days over Detroit at Joe Louis Arena. Monday night's game -- a 3-2 win -- was a makeup for the Nov. 21, contest, in which Detroit's Jiri Fischer collapsed on the bench in the first period because of cardiac arrest. Steve Sullivan scored the other goal for Nashville (31-12-6) and Tomas Vokoun made 38 saves. Mathieu Schneider got Detroit's goal and Manny Legace stopped 26 shots.
Wild 3, Coyotes 2
ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Brian Rolston scored two goals to give the Wild their first four-game winning streak in a single season in franchise history. Geoff Sanderson and Keith Ballard scored for Phoenix.
Avalanche 7, Flames 4
DENVER -- Joe Sakic scored two goals in a five-goal second period for Colorado to help the Avalanche stun the Northwest Division-leading Flames. The two goals pushed Sakic (561) past Guy Lafleur for 18th place all-time NHL goal scoring list. It also ended an 11-game goal-less streak for Sakic, who last scored on Dec. 30 at San Jose. Antti Laaksonen had a short-handed goal as the Avalanche ended a two-game losing streak. Chuck Kobasew had his first career hat trick for the Flames.
