Wednesday’s other games

Senators 5, Panthers 4

SUNRISE, Fla. — Randy Robitaille scored twice, and Ray Emery stopped Kamil Kreps’s penalty shot in the third period to help Ottawa snap a seven-game losing streak. Mike Fisher, Nick Foligno and Jason Spezza also scored for the Senators. Ottawa won for the first time since a 4-2 victory over Montreal on Nov. 19. It was Ottawa’s longest losing streak since an 11-game slide in the 1995-96 season. The Senators are 6-0 against Florida in the last two seasons. Olli Jokinen had two goals for Florida, which has lost three in a row since a four-game winning streak got the Panthers to .500. Steve Montador had a goal and two assists, and David Booth had the other goal.

Devils 4, Bruins 3, OT

NEWARK, N.J. — Patrik Elias scored his second goal of the game with 1:44 left in overtime, and New Jersey extended its winning streak to eight. Zach Parise also scored twice, and Martin Brodeur made 23 saves to help the Devils overcome a three-goal deficit. Zdeno Chara, Glen Murray and Dennis Wideman had first-period goals for Boston.

Thrashers 4, Islanders 3, SO

ATLANTA — Slava Kozlov and Ilya Kovalchuk scored in a shootout for Atlanta, and goalie Kari Lehtonen stopped Bill Guerin and Miroslav Satan in the tiebreaker. Lehtonen made 30 stops in only his second start — both wins against the Islanders — since missing 16 games because of a groin injury. Kovalchuk scored his NHL-leading 23rd goal, and Marian Hossa had a short-handed goal and added an assist for Atlanta. Pascal Dupuis also had a short-handed goal for the Thrashers, 0-for-9 on the power play. Mike Comrie, Mike Sillinger and Trent Hunter scored for the Islanders.

Flyers 3, Wild 1

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Jeff Carter had a goal and an assist, and Braydon Coburn also scored to help Philadelphia extend its road winning streak to four games. Minnesota, riding a four-game winning streak, was kept in check by the Flyers despite a decided advantage in power-play minutes. The Flyers, behind 28 saves by Antero Niittymaki, held Minnesota to just one power-play goal in eight opportunities, including a pair of extended two-man advantages. Pavol Demitra scored for the Wild, and Niklas Backstrom made 22 saves.

Canucks 3, Blackhawks 2

CHICAGO — Brendan Morrison scored early in the third period to break a tie and also had an assist for Vancouver. Morrison’s shot from the right circle deflected off Chicago defenseman Andrei Zyuzin and slid past goalie Nikolai Khabibulin just inside right goal post. Mattias Ohlund and Byron Ritchie also scored for the Canucks in their fourth victory in five games. Taylor Pyatt had two assists, and Roberto Luongo made 25 saves. Martin Lapointe and Martin Havlat scored for the Blackhawks.

Sharks 3, Stars 2

DALLAS — Joe Thornton scored the go-ahead goal with 8:36 left and added two assists to help San Jose win its third straight. Patrick Marleau added a goal, Jonathan Cheechoo scored on the power play, and Evgeni Nabakov stopped 17 shots for the Sharks, 7-1-3 in their last 11 games. U.S.-born goal-scoring leader Mike Modano notched the 516th of his career, and defenseman Trevor Daley added his first of the season for the Stars.
