NHL ROUNDUP | Monday’s games

Rangers 3, Lightning 1

NEW YORK — Jaromir Jagr, whose mouth was bloodied earlier by an errant stick, fired in a one-timer with 9:15 left to give the previously punch-less New York Rangers a victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning. Jagr flashed a toothless grin on the bench shortly before ripping Michal Rozsival’s pass by goalie Johan Holmqvist during a power play for his third of the season and second in two games. Brendan Shanahan connected for another power-play goal 2:44 later, with assists from Jagr and Chris Drury, to seal New York’s second win in seven games (2-4-1). Nigel Dawes netted the first goal for the Rangers, who have scored an NHL-low 19 in 11 games. Vincent Lecavalier netted his ninth on a second-period penalty shot, but the Lightning — 5-0-1 at home — fell to 0-4 on the road as they started a three-stop trip in the New York area.

Capitals 7, Maple Leafs 1

TORONTO — Alexander Ovechkin scored his seventh and eighth goals of the season and five Washington players got their first in a victory over Toronto. Brian Sutherby, Matt Bradley, Jeff Schultz, Matt Pettinger and Boyd Gordon all scored their first goals of the season for the Capitals while center Michael Nylander had three assists. Alexei Ponikarovsky scored for the Maple Leafs, who have allowed an NHL-high 51 goals this season. They continued their poor play at home where they have won only three times in nine games (3-4-2).

Sharks 4, Stars 2

DALLAS — Devin Setoguchi scored two goals in the third period of his first NHL game to help the San Jose Sharks rally. Setoguchi, the eighth overall pick in 2005, tied the game at 2 when he beat Dallas goalie Marty Turco midway through the third. Two minutes, 34 seconds later, he took a pass in front of the net from Joe Thornton, who had two assists, and put the Sharks ahead 3-2 at 14:27. San Jose, which had one goal in each of its last two games, added an insurance goal 17 seconds later from Steve Bernier to go ahead 4-2. The Sharks scored their final three goals on three consecutive shots. Setoguchi stole the show from Dallas center Mike Modano, who moved within one of tying the NHL record for most points by a U.S.-born player. Modano had an assist in the second period to give him 1,231 points, behind Phil Housley’s 1,232. Evgeni Nabokov stopped 27 shots for San Jose, which broke a two-game slide.

Turco, who faced 16 shots in the first, made 31 saves. Matt Niskanen, the 28th overall pick in the 2005 draft, scored his first NHL goal thanks to a fortunate bounce at 5:14 of the second. Modano passed the puck to Niskanen, who lofted a shot from near the blue line. The puck changed directions after it hit a San Jose defender’s stick and went into the net past Nabokov. Mike Ribeiro gave the Stars a 1-0 lead with his fourth goal at 10:20 in the first. Philippe Boucher’s shot from the right circle went off Nabokov, and Ribeiro picked up the rebound and slipped the puck past the goalie. The Sharks tied it about two minutes later on Joe Pavelski’s goal, which came when he beat Turco for a loose puck by the net. The 37-year-old Modano, who was coming off a two-point outing Saturday night against the Phoenix Coyotes, has two goals and three assists this season. San Jose center Jeremy Roenick did not score and remains two goals from being the third American-born player with 500 goals.
