NHL ROUNDUP Tuesday’s games

Canadiens 4, Maple Leafs 3, SO.

TORONTO — Alex Kovalev scored two power-play goals, then found the net again in the shootout to lead Montreal. Andrei Kostitsyn scored between Vesa Toskala’s legs in the tiebreaker, and Carey Price made a right leg save against Jason Blake to win it in the fifth shootout round. Guillaume Latendresse also scored for the Canadiens. Darcy Tucker, Chad Kilger and Mats Sundin, who scored his club-record 400th goal for Toronto with 17.6 seconds left in the third period, beat Price in regulation for the Leafs. Toronto led twice but couldn’t avoid a fourth straight loss because it failed to capitalize on the power play.

Red Wings 5, Flames 3

DETROIT — Pavel Datsyuk had two goals and an assist to lift the Red Wings. Tomas Holmstrom added a goal and an assist, and Kris Draper, and Valtteri Filppula also scored for Detroit. Nicklas Lidstrom had two assists, and Chris Osgood made 19 saves. Robyn Regehr, Dion Phaneuf, and Alex Tanguay scored for Calgary, and Jarome Iginla added three assists. Miikka Kiprusoff made 12 saves before being pulled early in the second period after giving up three goals. Holmstrom gave Detroit a 3-1 lead with his NHL-leading ninth power-play goal 4:36 into the second period. With the Red Wings enjoying a two-man advantage, Holmstrom put a shot through Kiprusoff’s pads from the slot for his 13th goal. Calgary coach Mike Keenan then pulled Kiprusoff in favor of Curtis McElhinney. Phaneuf brought the Flames within one by scoring a 5-on-3 goal of his own with 5:57 left in the middle period. His slap shot from the high slot beat Osgood for his fifth goal. Datsyuk’s second of the night restored Detroit’s two-goal lead 37 seconds into the third period for his seventh of the season. After carrying the puck to the slot area from the neutral zone, Datsyuk lost it momentarily, but regained possession and backhanded a shot past McElhinney.
