Rangers 2, Flyers 0

NEW YORK — Henrik Lundqvist earned his fourth shutout of the young season, stopping 30 shots, and Jaromir Jagr and Brendan Shanahan scored. Not only has Lundqvist looked incredibly sharp all season, he has shown no signs of fatigue despite playing all 14 games for the Rangers (7-6-1). New York won its fourth straight to finish a 5-1 homestand while the first-place Flyers (8-5) were shut out for the first time this season. Philadelphia has lost eight of 11 to the Rangers, who fired a season-high 45 shots at Martin Biron.

Canadiens 2, Sabres 0

MONTREAL — Cristobal Huet made 29 saves for his first shutout in nearly a year and Tomas Plekanec scored in the second period. Huet stopped 16 shots in the first period on his way to his 14th career shutout. It was his first since Nov. 28 when he beat Florida 1-0 in a shootout. Plekanec scored his fourth goal of the season on a 2-on-1 at 13:04 of the second. The Canadiens, who have won six of eight (6-1-1), were outshot 9-1 in the third period before Bryan Smolinski scored into an empty net with 21.8 seconds remaining. Ryan Miller stopped 17 shots for Buffalo, which has lost three in a row (0-2-1), including a 4-2 loss to Florida on Friday.

Panthers 4, Lightning 3

SUNRISE, Fla. — David Booth scored with 1:19 left in the third period and Florida kept Tampa Bay winless on the road. The Lightning, who have lost six in a row overall, are off to a franchise-worst 0-7 start away from home. Olli Jokinen, Ville Peltonen and Steve Montador also scored for the Panthers, who have won 11 of the past 13 meetings at the BankAtlantic Center. Jokinen also had two assists. Martin St. Louis, Brad Lukowich and Michel Ouellet scored for the Lightning. Vincent Lecavalier had two assists.

Wild 5, Oilers 2

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Niklas Backstrom kept up his mastery of Edmonton and Mark Parrish scored twice for Minnesota. Pierre-Marc Bouchard, Kurtis Foster and Stephane Veilleux also had goals and Mikko Koivu was credited with three assists for the Wild, who fired away at former teammate Dwayne Roloson and forced a goalie change for the Oilers after the first period. Edmonton has a league-low 10 standings points in 15 games and a handful of injuries to defensemen, including All-Star Sheldon Souray, but Minnesota was missing the entire original top line.
