NHL ROUNDUP Saturday's games
Penguins 5, Canadiens 4
MONTREAL -- Andre Roy scored his second goal of the season in the third period, despite misfiring on his shot, and John Leclair had three points in the first to lead Pittsburgh over Montreal. Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 42 shots, including 18 in the second as Montreal outshot Pittsburgh 19-5 in the period and 46-23 overall. With the score tied at 4, Roy took a pass from Sidney Crosby on a 2-on-1 and drove in on Canadiens goalie David Aebischer. The Penguins' forward completely fanned on his shot, but the puck's forward momentum carried it under Aebischer's right pad and into the net to give Pittsburgh its second and final lead of the game. The Penguins have won each of their three games this season against the Canadiens, who remain eighth in the Eastern Conference with 71 points, one ahead of ninth-place Atlanta, which lost 4-2 to Philadelphia.
Stars 4, Sharks 3, SO
SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Mike Modano had a goal, two assists and the first shootout goal in Dallas' seventh victory in eight games. Antti Miettinen also scored in the shootout for the Stars, who set an NHL record with their 10th come-from-behind win after trailing entering the third period -- though four of those wins were in shootouts, which didn't exist before this season. Dallas improved to an NHL-best 10-0 in shootouts this season, snapping the Sharks' four-game winning streak. Dallas rookie Jussi Jokinen missed on the Stars' second attempt in the shootout, his first miss in 10 tries in the tiebreaker. Ville Nieminen and rookies Patrick Rissmiller and Milan Michalek scored for San Jose in a 79-second flurry late in the second period, with Rissmiller scoring his first NHL goal and Nieminen getting his first goal with the Sharks. But Modano tied it early in the third, and Dallas followed up Milan Michalek's shootout score for San Jose with goals from Modano and Miettinen. When Marty Turco stopped Nils Ekman's final attempt, the Stars celebrated. Jere Lehtinen and Niko Kapanen scored in regulation for Dallas.
Bruins 4, Hurricanes 2
BOSTON -- Rookie Brad Boyes scored three third-period goals for his first career hat trick to lead the Bruins to their second straight victory. Patrice Bergeron added a goal and an assist, and Tim Thomas made 38 saves after signing a three-year contract extension earlier in the day. Eric Staal and Rod Brind'Amour scored for Carolina.
